Too many people in Mauritius are afraid to call a spade a spade. I salute you for your courage.

Mauritius is in such a mess mainly because we have tolerated mediocrity, cronyism and communalism at the pinnnacle of our institutions. Ask the average Joe/Jane on the street, what are the problems and how to fix them and it is more likely that they will come up with a workable solution at no extra cost; YET no government since Independence has been able to solve the transportation problem; the housing problem; the unemployment problem; the food security problem; the drug problem; the education system; the public health system; the electoral system and now we are saddled with the most vicious law and order problem. 

The latter is very dangerous for two main reasons: (1) It will impact our tourism industry and (2) it will provoke ethnic tension which may easily get out of hand. It is not hard to imagine that each ethnic group will want to have their own militia for security and protection. When institutions fail, the law of the jungle takes over and it is everyone for himself. How did we get here?

J'accuse SSR, SGD, SVR, SSB, SARM, SAJ, PRB and Navin Ramgoolam. Many other unnamed social arsonists will recognize themselves. Each one of them share some responsibilities for the current mess. History, the true history of Mauritius, when written dispassionately generations from now will reveal how they betrayed the sacred trust of the Mauritian people. 

It is not a mystery for keen observers to conclude that some 40 years after Independence no Mauritian nation has emerged due to the deliberate divisive policies of successive governments.<br/><br/>

ce n'est pas pour des demidieux qu'ils se prennent pour , ces cons. Ils se prennent en fait pour Le GRAND ARCHITECTE DE NOTRE UNIVERS.

Comme l'a bien dit notre ami Brotherly Pat, c'est le Top Brass de la Franc-maconnerie qui est a l'oeuvre. Dommages, pour mon petit paradis, c'est deja perdu. Tu te rends comptes pour un tout petit ile maurice comme le notre, combien des loges il y en a? Ou encore, on dit qu'il ya au moins 10 Francmacons dans l'actuel Government de Maurice!

Tres bientot, ca va etre obligatoire d'etre Francmacon pour etre Ministre !

Ou encore: pourquoi ces eternelles visites des Grand Maitres des loges francaises qui ne manquent hamais de nous peter a la figure et d'avoir l'audace de nous dire que c'est de la Transparency! Au diable, leur transparency ! Ayant nous deplumer a poils, maintenant ils nous picquent nos terres sous nos yeux.

Que faire quand il me semble que mes compatriotes derivent un plaisir divin, exotique mais plutot, ectatique de se faire nettoyer les fes...s par ces cons de la francmaconnerie. 

Quid de notre [système légal]? Oh la la, j'en parle plus!!

Thanks for the feedback. I was limiting my comments to governmental interference in our institutions and how nefarious this has proved to be in the long run. We have weakened key institutions in the country to the detriment of the population at large. When national institutions are undermined, we all become victims.

As far as the venality of one group of people from each ethnic composition of our rainbow mosaic, it cannot be overemphasized. However, I can never stand the hypocrisy of a class of politicians and others blaming a specific ethnic/racial group for all the ills of Mauritius. At various stages of our social development, we have had people fighting to maintain the status quo. Yesterday it was some members of X community and today it is members of Y community. 

No single community can escape blame for the failure of our island not to have lived up to its full potential. We could have become more democratic, more egalitarian, more educated and our standard of living and quality of life could have been a reference point in the Indian Ocean. We could have become a happy and self-confident nation. 

Politicians of all stripes and people of ill will share the blame for a stunted dream turning into a nightmare.<br/><br/>

I could not agree more.

However, I think you are being generous when you say our institutions have been weakened. They have in fact been savagely DEMOLISHED  TO BE REPLACED BY A NOUBALISME CULTURE which itself is derived on the philosophy of la partage du gateau national! 

Freemasons is the common factor and the driving force .
Unless we attack the problem at its source, we really have no chance. May Almighty save our island.<br/><br/>

Mauritius is too obsessed with its politicians.

The truth is that wealth concentration is dramatically skewed towards one ethnic group. I agree it has been diluted over the years courtesy of ethnic Chinese and Indians (Hindus and Muslims) compared to Martinique. Granted also how government officials and opinion makers have contributed to feather the nest of Big Business. It is indeed beyond skin colour and through our own brand of crony capitalism many outsiders (of all stripes) have become insiders themselves.

Macarena we should not let propaganda cloud our discernment. The fight is against injustice and "omerta" will cripple further Mauritius if we do not expose it.<br/><br/>

How the PM has handled this matter so far is just mind-boggling. Since the AG’s criticism against the police constitute a blame for the PM, who is the minister responsible for the police, on would have expected the PM to revoke his AG right away. Rama’s statement was not only disturbing and irresponsible, but it was also a challenge to the PM’s authority. In Parliament, the PM said that he would act if a prima facie case was established against the AG. With the police not laying any charge of sedition yet, Rama is claiming victory over his accusers. What’s more interesting is that his lawyers are claiming that the sedition law in Mauritius is outdated and cannot be used against the AG. The same law has been used in the past to convict other people. So were these people wrongly convicted? If the AG is not guilty of sedition, then his statement could be described as a fair comment on a matter of pubic interest. But we know that many journalists have been interrogated and prosecuted by the police for spreading false news when they actually made fair comments on matters of public interest. If the PM wants to be a statesman, he has to take the right action: revoke the AG. If he wants to play politics and keep Rama in his team to slug it out with the leader of the MMM at the next election, then the people would draw their own conclusion on this whole matter.<br/><br/>
