Comoros says it will resume accepting its nationals who are deported from the neighbouring French island of Mayotte as long as they are returning voluntarily.

In recent weeks tension between the two Indian Ocean countries has been high after Paris started deporting undocumented migrants from Mayotte.

Around half of the 350,000-strong population is estimated to be foreign, most of them Comorian.

The Comorian government, which claims Mayotte is part of its territory, initially refused to take in the deportees.
