Le nouveau ministre des outre-mer a dit espérer que la « loi spéciale » pour la reconstruction de Mayotte soit adoptée « rapidement » en conseil des ministres – le prochain doit se tenir le 3 janvier. Le dernier bilan humain officiel dans l’archipel fait état de 39 morts.
Following the catastrophic impact of Cyclone Chido on Mayotte, former Prime Minister Manuel Valls emphasizes the need to "reconstruct better and differently". He advocates for a rebuild that goes beyond simply restoring what was lost and incorporates innovative and improved solutions to increase resilience against future cyclone-like events. The text also highlights the severity of the damage to communications infrastructure, with instances of severities not witnessed even in previous cyclones like Belal in La Réunion. This underlines the urgency and challenges of the reconstruction efforts.
