Kélétigui Sylla, a 25-year-old Guinean, is subject to an obligation to leave the territory, even though he has lived in France for ten years. The information was revealed by the BFMTV channel.
It is since 2020 that he received this obligation to leave French territory (OQTF), accompanied by a two-year ban on returning to the territory, according to this French media. .
But since then, this decision has turned his life upside down, making his daily life difficult. However, in France Kélétigui Sylla, nicknamed “Kélé”, managed to build his life in Lyon.
“ My life is here. I’ve been here for ten years. I can’t imagine my life elsewhere“, he laments at the microphone of BFM Lyon.
When he arrived in France at the age of 15, Kélé worked his way to obtain a CAP as a machining technician. However, an injury forced him to reconvert. He then obtained a BTS, then an internship in a company. But the OQTF to which he is subject today prevents him from having a job.
“I feel completely dejected about all this. I feel powerless compared to this injustice that I suffer“, he declares.
This Monday, December 2, Kélé went before the Lyon administrative court to voice his desire to stay in France. And he was not alone, but surrounded by a support committee which notably brandished the collection of poetry written by the young man, as a symbol of his integration.
The collective is also mobilized alongside Kélé’s lawyer to have the OQTF canceled. “ He (the lawyer, Editor’s note) himself explained that this is the first time that he has made a detailed request of 38 pages, with 270 testimonies of the integration of Kélé“, explains Armand Reus, member of the support collective.
The court must make its decision by next month. But in the event of refusal, Kélé is already ready to appeal.
