Blog: Sex, chaos and law in Mauritius
[Written by Dr Sean Carey (Guest Author) on Monday 28th of May 2012 - 15:51:00]


Last week, UK and Irish journalists were taken aback at events both inside and outside the Supreme Court in the Mauritian capital Port Louis at the trial of Avinash Treebhoowun, 30, and Sandip Moonea, 42, who are accused of the premeditated murder of Northern Irish honeymooner Michaela McAreavey.


Blog: The Comedy of Everyday Life
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 25th of May 2012 - 07:45:00]


The comic drama of existence unfolds itself in every situation. It's the approach that counts. I was, by the force of circumstance, in hospital and happened to be reduced to an avid witness of the comedy of gross, the vulgar, the subtle and insidious at a rich period when the public meets the ailing and the vulnerable during visiting hours....

Europe is the main trade partner of Mauritius. Most of our tourists come from the Eurozone countries. The Eurozone is going through an unprecedented crisis....

The abortion issue: Open letter to the PM
[Written by La Rédaction on Friday 18th of May 2012 - 02:28:00]


Dear Prime Minister

We wish to express our unflinching support for your courageous initiative to amend the 1838 Anti Abortion Law....

Blog: Icac pé fané
[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Friday 18th of May 2012 - 02:22:00]


The United Nations Public Service Award was awarded to the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC), ranking first in the Africa for “her work effectively and responsibly.” This organisation is considered the most prestigious institution to make awards to public institutions....

Blog: Seeking Alternatives
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 18th of May 2012 - 02:08:00]


The world is experiencing a crisis of penury of ideas. Conventional religion is losing its grip; traditional values that were enshrined in home school and respect for the elderly are being disputed. It would be strange not to expect this result. The Arab spring revolution testifies to the exhaustion of conventional government that, by virtue of its long stay in power has deprived itself of its legitimacy and has become the enemy of the people. In this case the people have reacted with violence, and the new power has itself been trapped into neoconventional models....

Blog: Bold Decisions, effective Strategy
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 18th of May 2012 - 02:03:00]


Since May 1, every observer of the national scene must have noticed the bold decisions taken and the effective strategy adopted by Navin Ramgoolam. He is hitting the nail on the head by addressing real issues facing the people. With a new found confidence and a conviction of doing the right things....


Blog: Fake Remake
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 11th of May 2012 - 03:01:00]


After their failed attempt to attract a larger crowd at Port Louis than Labour/PMSD at Vacoas on May 1 Labour Day, the MMM/MSM alliance has found nothing better than proposing organising twenty public meetings, one in each constituency....

Blog: The MMM and its Nazi Propaganda
[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Friday 11th of May 2012 - 02:49:00]


Propaganda was used profusely by the Nazis during the period leading up and during World War II. This is exactly what the MMM has been doing since the seventies and more recently since Paul Berenger managed to trap Sir Anerood Jugnauth into a resignation from the presidency in the belief that overnight SAJ would be prime minister again....

Blog: The Status of the Family in Mauritius
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 11th of May 2012 - 03:06:00]


We have always thought of the family as the prime engine of social organisation and the spearhead of progress or degradation. The importance of the family is corollary to the sacred status given to marriage and the view that the child is, above all, one who perpetuates the name of the family. The wear and tear of institutions, the erosion of the primal meaning of social values, the dereliction of seriousness of social practices have caused a rebellion against these very values that were hallowed at a certain time but have become constraining with time....

Paul Bérenger and Sir Anerood Jugnauth

Blog: Myth surrounding Sir Anerood Jugnauth dissolves before public’s eyes
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Wednesday 9th of May 2012 - 13:02:00]


Had Sir Anerood Jugnauth remained President, which he now admits is a cushy job, and retired gracefully, the myth surrounding him may have survived; he showed no sparks and no attraction to the electorate, except his nuisance value. For his part, former journalist and former MMM Minister Jean-Claude de l’Estrac takes Mauritians for donkeys ready to swallow any form of fascist garbage in an attempt to bring Paul Bérenger and his crutch SAJ back to power, which we have seen splattered in the press through the Méthode Coué without any right of reply....


Blog: Perversion and Terrorism
[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Saturday 5th of May 2012 - 15:44:00]


One perverted the office of the president by converting it into a political platform to discuss the political future of his son with his accomplice. His name is Sir Anerood Jugnauth. He has embarked on a campaign of terrorism against the government and institutions like ICAC and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The other one is the accomplice of the first one and true to himself has indulged in a campaign of vulgar propaganda and lies reminiscent of Fascism and Nazism and Bolshevism. His name is Paul Berenger....

Blog: And the Winner was…
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 4th of May 2012 - 03:37:00]


And the best judge as to who the winner was on May 1 could be no other than the public. Of course, not the orators at the public meetings nor Paul Berenger, Anerood Jugnauth or Navin Ramgoolam....

Blog: Letter to Our Youth
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 4th of May 2012 - 03:54:00]


This letter has a circumstantial motivation because you are living a disturbed period and may in the sweep of events become subject to the nervousness and frenzy created by the media. After all, the common man has only the media to feed his daily thoughts with....

Blog: The big bang Effect vanished into thin Air
[Written by Murli Manohar (Guest Author) on Friday 4th of May 2012 - 03:41:00]


From the day that Sir Anerood Jugnauth (SAJ) resigned from the office of the president that he had converted into a political institution to allegedly save the country up to the May 1st rally the MMM has launched a psychological warfare against the Labour Party and its allies coupled with threats coming from SAJ against institutions like the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the DPP himself as well as against ICAC....

Blog: Weakest Link in our Health System - Health Education
[Written by Santosh Kumar Mahadeo (Guest Author) on Friday 20th of April 2012 - 06:14:00]


For a country that has a Welfare State system ambitious enough to provide not only mass-medicine but also state-of-the-art technology and expertise for complex ailments it is very sad that our nutritionists and the preventive agency of non-communicable disease (NCD) sector have failed miserably to sustain the curative sector....

Blog: Ambitious Plans
[Written by M. Vishal Aditya (Guest Author) on Friday 20th of April 2012 - 06:30:00]


An interesting feature of the address, moving the nation forward, by the acting president at the formal opening of the second session of the fifth National Assembly on April 16 was the performance appraisal of the MMM/MSM government between 2000 and 2005 and that of the Labour/PMSD since 2005....

Blog: Malicious attempt to divide the Hindu electorate in rural areas
[Written by M. Rafic Soormally (Guest Author) on Thursday 19th of April 2012 - 06:47:00]


According to MMM thinking, led by Paul Bérenger and supported by the militants in a section of the press, the MSM, led by Pravind Jugnauth with the resigning President Sir Anerood Jugnauth as a proposed eventual leader of the MSM and of an MMM-MSM alliance, the MSM would have the great advantage of offering the electorate an alleged credible alternative to the alleged unhealthy popularity of PM Dr Navin Ramgoolam and his PTr Party amongst Hindus in rural areas....
