Biography

Zaïna Méresse, was born on June 18, 1935, in Bandrélé[6] on the island of Grande-Terre, in Mayotte.

She got involved in the 1960s so that Mayotte would remain French[7] during the independence of the Comoros.  With them, other women, such as Coco Djoumoi and Boueni M'Titi, decided to carry out commando actions against the authorities, coming from Grande Comore, by resorting to an original means of action to push them back. They are then called the Chatouilleuses,[8] of which Zaïna Meresse is "one of the historical combatants". Being married to a metropolitan,[9] she spoke French, unlike the other activists, which enabled her to write letters to the authorities, and also to grant numerous interviews to relate her experience within the movement, contributing to  publicize it.[10] [11]

She subsequently committed to the Departmental Council of Mayotte.[12]
