French President Emmanuel Macron is set to participate in the traditional Christmas dinner for French troops stationed in Djibouti on December 20. This military base plays a crucial role in supporting relief efforts for Mayotte, which has been severely impacted by Cyclone Chido. The Djibouti base serves not only as a military facility but also as a logistical hub for emergency operations, including a medical center that can provide care for evacuees and support for operations like the recent evacuation from Sudan.
