In its first day of national mourning declared for a climate-related disaster, France will pay its respects to those in the overseas territory Mayotte killed by Tropical Cyclone Chido which swept through the island last week destroying everything in its path.
French President Emmanuel Macron decreed that flags would fly at half mast Monday, and said that “all French people are invited to pay our respects” for a minute at 11am to “share in the pain of the Mahorais”.
