French President Emmanuel Macron has faced criticism for his response to Cyclone Chido, which devastated the French overseas territory of Mayotte. The cyclone, described as akin to an atomic bomb, caused widespread destruction, leaving residents without essential services like water and electricity.
Opposition politicians have accused France of neglecting Mayotte and failing to prepare for natural disasters exacerbated by climate change. Cyclone Chido, a category 4 storm, wreaked havoc on the archipelago, destroying neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, and infrastructure.
