    Fuck clickbait

    For the last four months, Mousdikoudine and her two children have had little or no running water in their home on the French territory of Mayotte, and island of around 310,000 people in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa, between Mozambique and the island of Madagascar.

      Mayotte is genuinely running out of water though. Between the droughts, the terrible infrastructure and the government not giving a fuck about it, it’s most likely that it’ll end in a tragedy.
      Keep in mind that Mayotte is a fully integrated French department, it’s as much a part of France as Paris and yet they’re mostly being left to fend off for themselves.
