A lire les médias occidentaux, on aurait l’impression que ce qui se passe dans certains pays arabes du Moyen-Orient n’est que l’expression d’un désir de «liberté» dans le sens qu’ils l’entendent. Cette tentative de récupération d’une révolution qui transcende la simple contestation des régimes en place rend compte d’un travers propre au monde occidental. De quel monde le monde occidental veut-il ? Simplement d’un monde à son image. Soit sous couvert de démocratie sans voile islamique ou encore sans saris.
Or, ce n’est pas ce monde occidental qui va réinventer une colère. Cette colère, c’est celle de la misère. C’est celle des gens qui pâtissent dans la misère malgré les diplômes.
C’est ce que nous, une majorité de Mauriciens, ne comprendrons pas. C’est qu’il y a tant de gens qui ont des difficultés à se nourrir quotidiennement. Heureusement pour nos politiques, il n’y aura pas de révolution à Mauritius. «Blind we have decided to be or rather to see only through our dear Navinchandra’s rose-tinted glasses – a vision of paradise Mauritius.» C’est ainsi qu’on ne cesse de célébrer dans ce pays le fait d’être hindou, musulman et catholique. Hindou, le pays t’appartient. Maha Shivaharatree te donne tous les droits. Musulman, le pays t’appartient. Célèbre de manière fastueuse ton Yaum Un Nabi. Catholique, le pays t’appartient.
Pèlerinage du Père Laval, ton tour viendra. Pourquoi alors cette impression que, dans ce pays qu’est Maurice, il y a une croyance qui ne rime pas avec Krishna, Allah et Jésus ?
Nous avons fait d’autres choix. Nous avons nos ministres des cultes. On élit certains candidats uniquement pour qu’ils s’occupent de Maha Shivaharatree, du Hadj ou du pèlerinage du Père Laval. Nous avons fait le choix de prendre en certaines occasions le pays en otage au nom de la religion. Nous avons fait le choix de mettre en scène tout le long de l’année notre grand pharisaïsme.
Or, il y a un autre monde qui est possible.
L’exemple nous vient de Libye, d’Algérie, du Maroc… Un peu de liberté. Ni de l’islamisme, ni du désir d’occidentalisme. Il faut, cependant, être lucide. Ce qui se passe au Moyen-Orient pourrait n’être qu’un épiphénomène parce qu’il ne faut pas croire que le monde va changer à partir de quelques révolutions.
Le monde change lorsque les crises bancaires, complètement orchestrées et artificielles, viennent bousculer notre quotidien.
C’est dans ce monde des artifices que nous vivons. Le pire, c’est que nous ne cessons pas de nous mentir. Aujourd’hui, par exemple, être stressé, c’est être un grand professionnel. Si, en outre, on suit une thérapie, on devient un être exceptionnel. Plus on passe à côté de sa vie, plus on est un modèle de réussite !

| PLOUM PLOUM- ELVIS KING CREOLE !! | | | The late Lord Denning, a former Master of the Rolls, once said “ You are free to throw your fist in the air but that freedom stops where someone else nose starts”. Puisque je n’ai pas “ des longues mains” ou encore je n’ai jamais rencontre des Pinocchios a travers mes commentaires ( indeed credit to the writings of our dear Finlay and not so dear Jean Claude ! a matter of personal choice )) , I have no choice but to heed to Voltaire’s on my right to express myself freely, albeit I recognise by doing so, I stand the risk of further of your venomous invectives. So I shall leave it to the readers to decide who between the two of us, is a danger to Free Speech. You are after all advocating that I should step down !! Now I was not aware that posting a view that runs counter current to the writers, is actually a declaration of war against the writers according to your perverted logic. I am of those who believe that a counter opinion is healthy for Free Expression. I have opined on a wide range of topics from death Penalty to Chagos and Conflict of interests, Community Cohesion and national Identity. I am not aware though that I have expressed an opinion pro or against India. Something that you have been consistent with at every opportunity given to you. I take the view that many among our Blog contributors have a “ The Glass is always half empty “ when it comes to India. Nothing that La Grande Peninsule will do, will meet with their approval let alone their admiration. I don’t need to defend India. India does not need to be defended! I have no problem with whatever Country you or your parents hail from, many among us are also proud to have African origins ( just in case omitting Africa was a deliberate consequence of voluntary amnesia!!). Finally I am confident the likes of Starbright and Honky Tonk, among others, are above “ petitesse D’esprit” and will appreciate my humoristic references that I made of them from time to time! My dear Elvis, keep on Rocking ! | | | Zindabad | | | A Elvis et autres :
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/06/india-lavasa-computer-technology | | | Elvis | | | Hey Ploum Ploum, please step down you are killing free speech, man.You have been fighting with Finlay Salesse, Jean Claude De Lestrac, Starbright, Honky Tonk etc before and who the hell has given you the permission to criticize others here? why don't you watch your own bloody business? Do you still tbelieve that all Mauritians were pro.india as yourself? so please get a life.If you were so much patriotic to your motherland India so why the hell do'nt you move to Bombay and live on the sidewalks there with the Dallits and the dhobies etc?You should know that there are many of us in Mauritius whose ancestors are from France ; England, Ireland or Scandinavia etc and not from your India.You are suffering of extreme inferiority complexes. | | | PLOUM PLOUM- HONKY TONK WOMAN !! | | | @Honky Tonk : -- your greatgrandmother was born in Bedfordshire, England?... I am sorry to learn this. Now I understand but dont worry I have known worst cases than you and treatment is available. By the way, my greatgrand father was from OXFORDSHIRE ! | | | Elvis | | | Asian oil risen up by western technology. The biggest threat to our planet today is no doubt the overpopulation in China and India. Over 8 million of people in Bombay live on the sidewalk or in slums. The population of bombay is 15 million, please judge this yourself. | | | Honky Tonk | | | Sorry lads, i'm bound to upset you and for your information, my greatgrandmother was born in Bedfordshire- England.So i do believe that i was better off than most of you. | | | Asian | | | Thanks to asian fuel, the west is not freezing to death! Thanks to cloth made in asia, the west is not naked! | | | Public | | | Honky Tonk, Why are you being narrow minded and talking about overpopulation? Do you know that the population density of china is below that of most western countries? | | | Man | | | I do understand Honky Tonk. This old guy was probably suffering from extreme poverty and must indeed be indebted to his foster country to have him adopted! He remains to sing glories to the west for the remaining of his days. So I request all to understand his case and not pay much attention to him. He is still living in the past he understands nothing about the rise of BRIC nations & the irreversible damage caused to the west by the recent economic recession. | | | JNGG | | | En effet L'Amerique et les Europeens de l'ouest font preuve d'une grande naiveté en pensant qu'il sortira de ce chaos une democratie a leur image.Ils oublient, ou font semblant d'oublier que ces populations n'ont jamais connu et vecu en democratie.On peut meme dire pour certains d'entre eux que leur mode de vie meme est incompatible avec la democratie.Autre remarque(mineure):si nous avons tous entendu des remarque très negatives sur le voile islamique,je n'ai par contre jamais entendu de telles remarque sur le port du sari.Au contraire:que des compliments et de l'admiration.L'inclusion du mot sari dans cet article est plus que revelateur... | | | PLOUM PLOUM- BANKRUPTED WESTERN ECONOMIES | | | @ Mc Ounlall : Spot on : THE POOR ARE POOR BECAUSE THE RICH ARE RICH ( MOSTLY BY UNLAWFUL AND IMMORAL MEANS). @ STARBRIGHT: Have you got your knickers in a twist, Old chap? You appear lately to have an obsession with a Christian West still on Crusade missions in Muslim lands. Christian Western Countries and Western Secularism ! Are these not a contradiction in kind? If Our Lord was to return sooner than later, I am sure His attention will be targeted at the IMFs and the World Banks of these so-called Christian countries. Christian West-The most prosperous countries ! Hey, you better do a reality check ? Have you heard of SOVEREIGN WEALTH STATES? Run a check on the balance of payments on these Christian western Countries ( your description) and compare them with Tiny Micro “Muslim” states like Qatar and Abu Dhabi. If you are a Man U fan, you better say a prayer, they are just around the corner. A Rich Sheikh will buy Man U as a birthday gift for his son !!! As for the connection between Migration and dictators, at least you have provided us with an explanation as to why White Christian Europeans MIGRATED TO THE NEW WORLDS in the 18 and 19th centuries. By the way, was not the First and second World Wars between strictly CHRISTIAN countries? Do tell us what Dictators, Civil strife and wars or tyranny forced you to leave our beautiful paradise to migrate to your adoptive country? For God’s or Secular sake, leave religion out of it, let us concentrate on our common humanity and build a better Mauritius. | | | LeMoyne | | | @starbright
est ce ki oune tombe lor ou la tete ? "Christian western countries the most prosperous, and the most powerful economically, militarily, technologically" . la reponse est 2 siecle et plus de colonisation, esclavage, conversion, massacre et divide and rule dans banne pays de tiers monde kot ena la plus part banne resource naturel. c'est sur ki pou ena lordre et la paix parceki zot pe gagne tou lor plato. to western secularism ine donne aussi KKK, NAZI etc pas nek better life. | | | Honky Tonk | | | Nothing particularly will be changed the next 500 years ahead, the west will keep on dominating both economically and technologically.China's and india's growth might be a very short term due to overpopulation and extreme poverty. | | | Starbright | | | Secularism means one way ticket to the western world for non-christians to seek for a better life or asylum. By the way, a Catholic minister was killed in Pakistan yesterday. | | | jean Planchou | | | S’il existe une vérité aujourd’hui, c’est celle de la société de l’information qui freine tant bien que mal, les dictateurs dans leur frénésie du pouvoir. Les manifestations pour la liberté ne se limitent pas à un petit microcosme qui est celui du monde des médias. Ainsi, il est un peu court d’affirmer que les médias occidentaux ne voient que la liberté dans les cris poussés par des Tunisiens, des égyptiens, des libyens, des yéménites et d’autres. Beaucoup de ces pays occidentaux n’exercent pas uniquement le ministère de la parole, ils savent bien car au titre de l’aide aux pays en difficultés, une part importante est dédiée à certains des états concernés. Il est difficile aujourd’hui au titre de la liberté qu’on se donne de faire croire qu’il y a des bons et gentilles dans un camp, tandis que l’occident est aveugle ou borgne.
La réalité mauricienne est complexe, on ne peut uniquement par une vue de l’esprit ou un détour du langage associé ces événements à Maurice. Il manque peut être dans le comportement de ceux qui nous dirigent une vision laïque que l’on peut comprendre, dans la mesure ou cela n’a jamais été affirmé à haute voix et que notre histoire nous conditionne,encore que certains de nos politiques posent bien des actes pour un réel Mauricianisme.
Dire que le peuple élit certains candidats uniquement pour qu’ils s’occupent de Maha Shivaharatree, du Hadj ou du pèlerinage du Père Laval, je crois que c’est fortement osé et faire preuve de démagogie. Je ne l’ai point vu moi dans ma foi, car vivant dans une circonscription très cosmopolite, depuis plus de quarante ans, j’ai vu des candidats de toutes communautés gagner des élections. Je n’affirme pas par là qu’il n’existe pas un fonds de communalisme, je pense, toutefois, que cette seule approche est réductrice pour le peuple.
Il faudrait peut être faire la part de ce qui est religieux de ce qui est social, de ce qui est communautaire, de ce qui est politique et de ce qui est étatique. Il conviendra ensuite aux porteurs de ce message de se faire entendre.
Non, Monsieur, les crises boursières ne changent pas le monde, elles permettent seulement au capitalisme de s’adapter pour une nouvelle crise. A la différence, des révoltes ou révolutions comme vous voulez, qui permettent aux peuples d’accéder à d’autres droits, souvent infimes. L’histoire du monde a été façonnée par ces cris de liberté souvent issus des contextes identiques qui sont la misère, la pénurie. L’autre monde possible est celui d’un peuple qui au fur et mesure construit son destin par des conquêtes et pour notre peuple de Maurice qui depuis fort longtemps accède à l’éducation, c’est dans le choix des élus par le biais des élections qui sont démocratiques chez nous.
Ces peuples font très bien, ils sont à la conquête de certains droits que nous avons déjà à Maurice. Il revient à chacun d’entre nous d’être la vigie au quotidien.
A bon entendeur, Salut.
| | | People | | | What's going on in the arab world is not necessarily the liberation but can equally be 'recolonisation' with the sympathisers of islamists coming into power. What's going on in Egypt cannot be applicable to Iran; in Egypt prowestern government has been ousted while in Iran anti western government is being pressurised. No generalisation please; only case to case consideration applies. | | | Lepep | | | Appears that the author is expressing his "narrow" opinions but is intelligent enough not to tell everything as the article is to be read by all! Doing so makes the article diluted! The author criticises Navin, he also sees the society from a communal angle! | | | World national | | | @Starbright The christian west became more prosperous because of the following reasons: 1. SLAVERY The west profited incredibly by enslaving africa. The african resources continue to be exploited by the west. 2. PETRODOLLARS The west has been controlling the middle eastern petrol. To prevent the petrodollars not to distributed among the people but channelled max to the west, the latter maintained 'pro western governments' in these countries. Often, their own slogans like democracy had nothing to do with their actions. To remind that most leaders of arab world that are supported by the west are not democratically elected. 3. WEAPONS The west is the greatest supplier of weapons and this has been a great mean to financial business. To maintain this business ongoing, it has been of interest to the west to maintain/create military conflicts in non western world. In addition to this, neighbour countries destroyed each other. Western nations (except china) in the permanent security council equally helped agressing non western world. 4. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM With the western money being international currency and african currency (cfa) being remote controlled from paris, the west definitely profited financially. 5. CONTROLLING MEDIA People believed in whatever the west broadcasted through news, movies & even so called 'education'. PRESENT WORLD However, today the world is changing fast the collapse of the twin towers (symbol of economic & therefore military) power, the recent economic recession in the west, the irreversible economic rise if BRIC nations, the return of numerous immigrants back home from the west, the illusionary 50k western salary/yearly (with 50% or so deducted & not received), etc are here just to remind us of the reality. | | | ghazi- shaheed | | | We have a lesson to the world and leave them perplexed:our version of secular democracy - courtesy our seasoned politicians. | | | Edward Said Fan Club | | | Starbright wake up your assessment has passed the sell-by date! | | | Mc Ounlall | | | @ Jean-Claude Charles: Ki to pe attane MIRAK? Guette ki Lelio Wong pe dire, sa kapav donne twa enn simin sorti.
@ Lellio Wong: To ena la cle, mo kamwad. To ena la cle la porte soulazma, et la paix.
@ Starbright: quand to pou comprend ki persoone pas vine riche sans ki enn lott vine pov? faire attention vague finn commence tourner....
@ Ploum Ploum: you have hit it the nail on the head, man
@ Nazim et tous bann Mauriciens: Very Happy Maha Shivaratri!!!
| | | PLOUM PLOUM- US CHEQUEBOOK DEMOCRACY | | | @ Sadeq Ruhmaly: Perhaps it will help if LePep Admirable should be given a flavour of how CHEQUEBOOK DEMOCRACY was promoted through the actions of Economic Hitmen like John Perkins. Herewith an extract of an interview on Democracy Now radio with John Perkins which can also be heard from the link below.
http://www.democracynow.org/2004/11/9/confessions_of_an_economic_hit_man .Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: How the U.S. Uses Globalization to Cheat Poor Countries Out of Trillions
AMY GOODMAN: It’s good to have you with us. Okay, explain this term, "economic hit man," e.h.m., as you call it.
JOHN PERKINS: Basically what we were trained to do and what our job is to do is to build up the American empire. To bring—to create situations where as many resources as possible flow into this country, to our corporations, and our government, and in fact we’ve been very successful. We’ve built the largest empire in the history of the world. It’s been done over the last 50 years since World War II with very little military might, actually. It’s only in rare instances like Iraq where the military comes in as a last resort. This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that.
AMY GOODMAN: How did you become one? Who did you work for?
JOHN PERKINS: Well, I was initially recruited while I was in business school back in the late sixties by the National Security Agency, the nation’s largest and least understood spy organization; but ultimately I worked for private corporations. The first real economic hit man was back in the early 1950’s, Kermit Roosevelt, the grandson of Teddy, who overthrew of government of Iran, a democratically elected government, Mossadegh’s government who was Time's magazine person of the year; and he was so successful at doing this without any bloodshed—well, there was a little bloodshed, but no military intervention, just spending millions of dollars and replaced Mossadegh with the Shah of Iran. At that point, we understood that this idea of economic hit man was an extremely good one. We didn't have to worry about the threat of war with Russia when we did it this way. The problem with that was that Roosevelt was a C.I.A. agent. He was a government employee. Had he been caught, we would have been in a lot of trouble. It would have been very embarrassing. So, at that point, the decision was made to use organizations like the C.I.A. and the N.S.A. to recruit potential economic hit men like me and then send us to work for private consulting companies, engineering firms, construction companies, so that if we were caught, there would be no connection with the government.
AMY GOODMAN: Okay. Explain the company you worked for.
JOHN PERKINS: Well, the company I worked for was a company named Chas. T. Main in Boston, Massachusetts. We were about 2,000 employees, and I became its chief economist. I ended up having fifty people working for me. But my real job was deal-making. It was giving loans to other countries, huge loans, much bigger than they could possibly repay. One of the conditions of the loan—let’s say a $1 billion to a country like Indonesia or Ecuador—and this country would then have to give ninety percent of that loan back to a U.S. company, or U.S. companies, to build the infrastructure—a Halliburton or a Bechtel. These were big ones. Those companies would then go in and build an electrical system or ports or highways, and these would basically serve just a few of the very wealthiest families in those countries. The poor people in those countries would be stuck ultimately with this amazing debt that they couldn’t possibly repay. A country today like Ecuador owes over fifty percent of its national budget just to pay down its debt. And it really can’t do it. So, we literally have them over a barrel. So, when we want more oil, we go to Ecuador and say, "Look, you’re not able to repay your debts, therefore give our oil companies your Amazon rain forest, which are filled with oil." And today we’re going in and destroying Amazonian rain forests, forcing Ecuador to give them to us because they’ve accumulated all this debt. So we make this big loan, most of it comes back to the United States, the country is left with the debt plus lots of interest, and they basically become our servants, our slaves. It’s an empire. There’s no two ways about it. It’s a huge empire. It’s been extremely successful.
| | | Starbright | | | Perhaps, you should ask yourself a question why are the Christian western countries the most prosperous, and the most powerful economically, militarily, technologically or whatsoever and why are they also so attractive to non.christians?is it a double standard?.Tragic events in predominantly muslim countries often lead to the emergence of a muslim community in the United States and other European countries.The fact that muslim countries are disproportionately dominated by dictators means that tyranny,persecution, poverty. violent regime changes, civil strife, and wars have driven some of the most talented and wealthy from muslim countries in the middle-east, south Asia and beyond. Thanks to western secularism, they have had a better life abroad. | | | NH | | | What is happening in the Arab world is nothing about Islam nor democracy, it's a lesson about liberation from suppression and what Mauritius can take from it is that the message of Jaatism of Mauritian Leader and His message in Grand Bassin; or from any religious group is that not to get corrupted in any aspect of life as the liberation from being suppressed is far greater than being seated in your ministerial seat. Remember Naipaul “Powers corrupt and absolute powers corrupt absolutely", this is for our Leader to think upon. | | | LeMoyne | | | Merci mons Jean-claude Charles pour votre commentaire. C'est en plein dans le mille. Il y a beaucoup de mauriciens qui se plaignent continuellement de la situation. mais ça s'arrete la. La misere, la perte d'emplois, l'insecurité etc pa get figure ou religion. alors pourquoi ce mepris des uns pour les autres. on n'a pas un sens de communauté. comment est qu'on pourra améliorer notre espace vitale. oublions les politiciens. leurs objectifs et nos objectifs sont completement a l'opposé. il n'ya pas de mmm pli bon, ptr pli bon, berenger ou navin pli bon. ce ki compte c'est qu'est ce qui est bon pour ma famille , mo communauté, mon environment. | | | Lélio Wong | | | Si on se contente seulement de ce que Krishna, Bouddha, Allah, ou Jésus nous donne sans se comparer aux plus riches mais aux plus pauvres et avoir le plaisir de partager, le paradis serait sur terre et l'enfer au ciel. Ma prière quotidienne : NE NOUS LAISSEZ PAS SUCCOMBER À LA TENTATION, MAIS DÈLIVREZ NOUS DU MAL. AMEN ! | | | albiekoun | | | Unfortunately, Mauritian people have not yet understood that politicians whoever Navin,Paul,Pravind,Rashid, Xavier and those big businessmen have the same religion .i.e Money and Power whereas common people are hindus,muslims,christians,tamils and so on.One day when people started to realise to it, it will be too late for the whole nation.Because we are not 'ene peuple admirable,We are rather "ene peuple endormi" waiting for better days to come infront a lot of red candles.
| | | SADEK RUHMALY | | | CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN by JOHN PERKINS [2004]; It will elucidate our comprehension of geopolitics and religious emotive leverage of Regime change in developing nations.....
Happy Reading...
it seems, listening to our politicians spitting venom @ religious pilgrimage sites these days that Galileo, Jesus, Mohamed, amongst others, were all "DANGEREUX PYROMANES"....
As Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet: " There is more between heaven and earth than ever dreamt of in our whole philosophy ".
Religion is not about God..but about our idealistic self......Shalom friends! | | | chitchat | | | Nazim, your article is well-thought-of, presented without raising the blood pressure of your readers. The Middle East countries, like Masuritius have their fair share of religious issues predominantly muslim divided as Sunni Islam, Sufi Orders, Shi'a, with rising Bahai population and a minority of Jews. They live in harmony as a nation while Mauritians behave as such till
the general elections. One must value comments of Jean Claude Charles and Democrate Feb16.
Mauritius, with its divided communities would never experience a Middle East style uprising, The facts are with 55% of the country Indo-Mautitians who have been made to believe the country
is theirs, SSR proclaimed the father of the nation and Navin Ramgoolam's Motto "Garde pouvoir dans nous lamain" There can be no change - Facts leave no room for possibilities. | | | Kantonad | | | Pere Fouettard, lol pour "alors de grace ne ciblez pas la religion .... religieusement". On pourait ajouter comme les "enfants de "Lumieres", souvent FM, endoctrines par laicite et le nombrilisme francais. | | | Citizen X | | | "des électeurs idéaux quand nous nous rendrons aux urnes…" le drame cher monsieur c'est que comme beaucoup d'autres pays, meme les plus "developes" (e.g France, Italie), la democratie c'est transformee en electocratie ou les reseaux dilapident les pays. Bref blanc bonnet bonnet blanc. C'est a la societe civile de se reveiller comme en Amerique latine et les pays arabes aujourd'hui. | | | Père Fouettard | | | Mr Ruhmaly, ceux qui utilisent la religion, la politique, la franc-maconnerie, les medias ou whatever a des fins inavouables doivent tous etre denonces. Alors de grace ne ciblez pas la religion .... religieusement.
Cela dit, bravo Nazim por think outside the box. Pourvu que ca dure! | | | SADEK RUHMALY | | | Bravo Nazim.... Cest rafraichissant de deguster une plume integre et objective! LHistoire nous enseigne que les aspirations legitimes des peuples eliminent les pouvoirs les plus glorieux et insouciants des souffrances dans les ames de ceux qui n'ont plus rien a perdre...ni a gagner avec le statu quo.... Avis aux pharaons modernes qui songent que la Religion sera leur protection anti-flamme des revoltes des opprimes..... Paradis en Dey, indeed! | | | jincy D'Olo | | | How lucky we are here in Paradise that AK47 and M-16 are not readily available
as it is in Arab countries.Else it would be chaos, the recent event at Grand Bassin speaks volumes on the behaviour of some. | | | Spin Oza | | | Qu'est-ce qu-on est loin de ses doctrines eurocentriques! Bravo monsieur, j'espere neanmoins ne plus jamais vous lire ecrire "valeurs republicaines", "laicite", "communaute internationale", 'reforme" etc. qui sont teintes de propagande, supremacisme/racisme, perversion, etc. . Bref des buzzwords qui n'ont aucune pertinence et faisant fi de la realite et du contexte. Kaya chantait: zot fer nu kompran seki ambalao. Keep it up. What is thinking without nuance and discernment anyway? If not mere kowtowing. | | | Jean-claude Charles | | | NOUS, CITOYENS MAURICIEN, Réveillons-nous Dans la plupart des grands débats publics, nous sommes confrontés, en tant que citoyens, à la difficulté de faire la part des choses entre les points de vues divergents et intéressés que formulent les politiciens et les différents groupes en présence. Et ce sont souvent l'avis de tierces parties, journalistes et experts, qui permettent d'y voir un peu plus clair dans la mesure où ceux-ci ne sont pas porteurs d'intérêts partisans
Or, en dépit de l'intervention de ces tierces personnes, le citoyen mauricien ne semble plus se soucier d'une mobilisation pour ces enjeux fondamentaux que nos journalistes et certains syndicalistes dénoncent avec raison :
- Le scandale de la clinique MedPoint,
- Refus du droit de parole à Harish Boodhoo dans l'affaire MedPoint.
- La condamnation pour conflit d'intérêt d'un ex-maire, Tirat Moosun, membre du MSM.
- Renvoi des élections municipales, "priver" les électeurs de leur droit de vote…
- Une presse bafouée dans ses droits ; l'interdiction d'une presse libre.
- Les biens et les terres de nos frères chagossiens loués à long terme par Ramgoolam père aux Britanniques,
- Une société civile divisée
- Un taux de criminalité qui monte en flèche.
- La corruption qui a atteint un niveau sans précédent au sein de la société mauricienne,
- L'insécurité dans nos hôtels et dans nos grandes villes.
Nous sommes devenus une société amorphe, égoïste. C'est du chacun pour soi ! Si nous continuons à garder le silence, par notre absence de réaction, nous serons demain, non seulement victimes de corruption mais complices d'avoir propagé et encouragé ce fléau en notre patrie. (Le peuple n'a que le gouvernement qu'il mérite…). Je me demande si nous n'avons pas déjà développé une culture de corruption, cette culture de " roder boute " …en nous associant à certains politiciens corrompus.
La culture et l'identité dans un pays sont indissociables pour une communauté ; c'est le fil conducteur que tout peuple doit s'approprier et porter en lui. Ainsi, nous serons en mesure de vivre dans la moralité, la dignité et avec le sens des responsabilités sur le plan collectif. D'où l'on pourra créer la richesse d'une nation mauricienne.
Malheureusement, le peuple mauricien ne distingue pas sa valeur sociale / culturelle ainsi que son identité mauricienne - ce qui donne lieu aujourd'hui à une communauté sans signification, à une communauté chaotique d'où émerge la criminalité, la corruption, l'insécurité des citoyens, la drogue ; et le pire, le sectarisme règne en maître.
Aujourd'hui, nous n'avons plus un vrai leader - quelqu'un qui a la capacité intellectuelle de nous réunir tous sous un même thème et de nous faire rêver d'une île Maurice où il fera bon vivre. Là où l'égalité pour tous ne sera pas un privilège, là où les compétences et le mérite prendront le dessus sur la corruption et le réflexe " roder boute ". Il y a lieu de penser que la société mauricienne est à refaire et cela est à la base même d'une meilleure compréhension de notre valeur sociale et culturelle dans un esprit de produit collectif. Il est vrai que les années passent et que certains ne changeront jamais ! Peut-être appartient-il au peuple de changer ? Si nous cherchons à avoir ce politicien idéal, porteur d'idées et rassembleur, alors commençons par être des électeurs idéaux quand nous nous rendrons aux urnes…
