“Mayotte was abandoned years ago”: The island felt “forgotten and neglected” during the drought and migration crisis.

People in storm-ravaged Mayotte pleaded with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday to do more to help as he toured the overseas territory where scores of people are feared to have died in the wreckage of Cyclone Chido. Officials in France’s poorest overseas territory fear thousands may have been killed. For an in-depth analysis and a deeper look into the trail of destruction left by Cyclone Chido, FRANCE 24’s Erin Ogunkeye welcomes Dr. Nathalie Mrgudovic, lecturer in French law, politics, society and overseas territories at Aston University.
