The overseas territory of Mayotte faces the prospect of “open-air mass graves,” one MP told the president
Crowds booed French President Emmanuel Macron and demanded his resignation in the overseas territory of Mayotte during his visit to survey the grim aftermath of a major disaster. A powerful storm struck the Indian Ocean archipelago last week, claiming at least 31 lives and leaving thousands homeless, according to local authorities.
On Thursday, during his tour of Mamoudzou, the island’s capital, Macron faced residents struggling with the aftermath of the cyclone. One man described local services as overstretched when addressing the president, adding “help has not reached where I live,” according to Reuters.
