The Bettencourt Protests, also known as the Bettencourt Movement, was a series of protests during October to December of 2020 against limitations of the autonomy of the province of Mayotte, but quickly turned into a rallying cry for the long-sought independence of the Eastern Zamastanian provinces of Mayotte, Aunistria, and Alutia. The number of people taking part in the demonstrations were estimated at between 1.1 million (according to the local police) and 1.5 million (according to the organisers).
