The government of Seychelles has conveyed condolences and demonstrated solidarity with nations impacted by Cyclone Chido and the recent earthquake in Vanuatu, emphasizing the importance of international unity in responding to these natural disasters. Cyclone Chido has caused significant devastation across Mayotte and southern Africa, leading to a tragic death toll and damage to infrastructure.
The search for missing persons continues in Mayotte, a French overseas territory severely affected by Cyclone Chido. Reports confirm at least 22 fatalities with over 1,300 people injured, although local officials fear the true death toll may be much higher. In northern Mozambique, the cyclone has resulted in 34 deaths and the destruction of thousands of homes.
Seychelles’ Foreign Affairs Minister, Sylvestre Radegonde, communicated heartfelt condolences to Ben Issa Ousseni, the President of the Departmental Council of Mayotte. In his message, Radegonde expressed, “It is with profound sadness and great sorrow that the Seychellois people and I learned of the tragic news of Cyclone Chido’s passage through Mayotte, which caused numerous victims and enormous damage.” President Wavel Ramkalawan extended similar condolences to Mozambique’s President, Filipe Nyusi, praising the quick relief efforts witnessed in the wake of the cyclone’s devastation.
In another part of the world, Vanuatu faced its own calamity as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck, leading to at least 14 fatalities, including foreign nationals, and leaving many injured. Following this disaster, President Ramkalawan expressed his sorrow and commended Vanuatu’s government and local communities for their response efforts, affirming that “Seychelles stands in solidarity with the Republic of Vanuatu. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Vanuatu during this challenging time.”
Cyclone Chido and the earthquake in Vanuatu are two significant natural disasters that have caused widespread devastation.

Meanwhile, the earthquake in Vanuatu has claimed lives and overwhelming devastation in Port Vila. The response from various governments, including Seychelles, highlights the importance of international solidarity during such crises.
In summary, the Seychelles government has showcased its commitment to international solidarity by providing condolences and support to countries affected by Cyclone Chido and the earthquake in Vanuatu.
