The evacuation of the Aluver squat in Cayenne took place on August 25, 2026, following a prefectural decision. This operation led to the destruction of 70 makeshift homes, deemed illegal and dangerous. Authorities justified this action due to health and safety concerns, particularly because of fire risks and the presence of constructions in a marshy area. Social support has been put in place for vulnerable occupants.
