French Prime Minister François Bayrou arrived Monday in the Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte to unveil a recovery plan three weeks after Cyclone Chido brought devastation.

Cyclone Chido not only ravaged Mayotte's infrastructure but also laid bare tensions between the island's residents and its migrant population.

Amidst the aftermath of the destruction of Cyclone Chido in the French-owned island of Mayotte within southwest Africa from December 5th to 16th, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou visits local citizens this morning and ensures a strict recovery plan will be put in place as part of damage limitations.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou believes dozens of people died after the cyclone hit the territory, rather than thousands.

On Saturday, the French territory of Mayotte was overwhelmed by Cyclone Chido, a storm that left devastation and destruction in its wake. According to CNN, Cyclone Chido was a Category 4 storm which made its way through the southwestern Indian Ocean, hitting parts of northern Madagascar before it intensified and slammed into Mayotte.

Early last Sunday, after a night spent working at a small Mayotte maternity ward as a vicious storm devastated the French islands, midwife Lucie Gerard learned that a stranded woman was giving birth in a nearby home.

Relatives of families struggling after Cyclone Chido ripped through the French island territory of Mayotte expressed helplessness Wednesday, a day before France's president and another 180 tons of aid were expected to arrive.

Cyclone Chido not only ravaged Mayotte’s fragile infrastructure but also laid bare deep-seated tensions between the island’s residents and its large migrant population

French Prime Minister François Bayrou arrived in Mayotte on Monday accompanied by a large delegation including education minister Elisabeth Borne and Manuel Valls, the new overseas territories minister.
