Il y a quelques années de cela, Robert Mugabe lançait ce qu’il appelait The Third Chimurenga, défini par le président zimbabwéen et son parti, le Zanu-PF, comme « the final and practical correction of the economic imbalances imposed by the racist colonial rule over a stretch of decades ».
Les termes : final and practical correction, tellement proches de la solution finale chère à Hitler, laissaient déjà présager le pire pour ceux qui allaient faire les frais des règlements de compte pour les humiliations subies à l’époque coloniale.
En l’occurrence ceux qui dans la Rhodésie d’antan se la coulaient douce grâce à la déclaration unilatérale d’indépendance de Ian Smith. Un régime qui était tellement proche de l’Afrique du Sud de l’apartheid.
Parmi ceux que visaient Mugabe et ses hommes figuraient notamment des Mauriciens qui s’étaient établis dans ce pays dans les années 1950/1960.
Normalement, ce vendredi 27 janvier, un compatriote, Benoît Fayd’herbe, devrait apprendre devant la Chiredzi Magistrates’ Court s’il est coupable d’avoir illégalement occupé des terres qui lui ont été reprises par les responsables de la formation politique du président zimbabwéen.
Un autre Mauricien, Benoît Lagesse, se trouve dans une situation similaire, et devra patienter jusqu’au mois de mars pour connaître le sort que lui réserve la justice du Zimbabwe.
Mais comment en est-on arrivé à cette situation de profonde injustice ?
Robert Mugabe, après des années de guérilla contre un régime raciste, avait pourtant promis, quand il est arrivé au pouvoir, un pays démocratique sur tous les plans à ceux qui vivaient au Zimbabwe.
Tout cela est profondément regrettable. Nous n’allons pas revenir sur les méandres de l’histoire.
Soulignons simplement que le jeudi 17 février 1966, soit environ un an après que Ian Smith eut décidé de rompre les liens de Salisbury (le nom de Harare à l’époque) avec Londres, un journal à Maurice publiait un avis d’embauche pour le Chirundu Sugar Estates Limited, une usine sucrière pour un « experienced process overseer/chemist of european descent ». Of european descent !
Voilà qui situe bien le contexte des relations ethniques complexes qui agitaient l’Afrique et dont les séquelles continuent d’engendrer tellement de souffrance.
Le pire probablement pour tous ceux qui combattent le racisme ou le communalisme, c’est de finir par ressembler à leurs ennemis d’antan.
Chez nous, toutes proportions gardées, soi-disant pour une correction finale et pratique, par la vertu du Best Loser System, d’un déséquilibre social, certains veulent défendre un système qui institutionnalise le communalisme.

| Brenda Latulipe | | | Remember the visit of Greenwood to Mauritius around 67/68. That was amazing - I was a kid but everyone was talking about "banne tappeurs" !!
Regarding the BLS system, the claims put forward by muslim minority sound exaggerated. They are one of the wealthiest minority in the country although they were less represented in Parliament compared to the Creole community. Unfortunately most ot the Creoles left their home country for Australia and Europe. Whites went to South Africa. So we have distorted perceptions and cannot measure accurately the economic imbalance. Dommage ! | | | PLOUM PLOUM - VENERABLE MAITRE ! | | | @Uncle Starbright : I can't quite see what point you are making with A Razak's birth place, unless of course you are........ Mais passons !! May be you forgot that before he created the CAM, Razak Mohamed joined the PARTI MAURICIEN ( before it became PMSD) of JULES KOENIG when the PM was created. At the time, Mr Mohamed was a close friend of Koenig ( he used to defend Mohamed in court). Also, in the mid 1930's Mohamed was also in pragmatic political alliances with the likes of Laurent and Rivet and others of the Ralliement Mauricien and other Groupement de 5 / 12 etc contesting Municipal Elections which were dominated by Laurent and Rivet in 1930/1940's. Howvere Mohamed will be publicly humiliated by both Laurent and Rivet and Koenig as well in 1953. It was the realisation that the various Communities at the time were innately COOMUNAL in appeal and in mindset and in practice that one cannot trust the other. It was this sad realities that compel Mohamed to break away from the Creole Elites and the Conservatives of Koenig to form the CAM . By that time Dr Ramgoolam had arrived at the same conclusion and had joined the Labout Party which was going nowhere under Rozemont ( he died in 1956 ) and was replaced by Chaperon. | | | Starbright | | | @PloumPloum; Mr Abdul Razak Muhammed was not even born in Mauritius but in Calcutta- India in 1906.08.01.He was the founder of the CAM | | | PLOUM PLOUM- ZENFANT LACAGE | | | In previous expositions on the BLS saga i wrote "....We need to focus on democratising ALL EXISTING POLITICAL PARTIES, namely, how candidates are selected on merit and not PARACHUTED INTO CONSTITUENCY AT THE 11TH HOUR. How Leaders are elected. How transparent are decisions? We need to put an end to All POLITICAL NOMINEES (by PMs of course!) a Heads of State Agencies. Above all, we need to prevent this business of SHARING TICKETS BEFORE AN ELECTION. That is, Pre-election Alliances!! Now On Y Mohamed's interview : why has everybody fail to see blatant contradictions in some of YM statements: BLS guarantee non- communal Riots !! Does it ? In 1968, his Father became among the first recipient of BLS MPs ( actually Minister as well) after it was introduced in the 1967 Elections following an amended Banwell ( by Stonehouse) proposition. So even though we had BLS in place in 1967, it did not prevent Communal Riots in January 1968. But most importantly, the Riots took place between 2 so-called Minorities ( as per Trustram-Eve definition) , the Creoles and the Muslims in Roche Bois and Plaine Verte respectively. Two areas that voted emphatically for the same Party, the PMSD months earlier in August 1967 ( de surcroit rejecting Abdul Razack Mohamed ( Yusuf's Father) in favour of a Chinese ( Jean Ah Chuen). It is significant (fortunately for us) to point out that the Riots did not spill to other areas , neither dragging other communities into it. So Mr YM, explain to us, the connection between BLS and Riots of 1968? My other question to YM: What guarantee ( in numbers or in manner) do the BLS provides your community since 1967 since a far bigger number of Muslims have been elected hailing from all Parties through the Block of 3 candidates system and went on to become Ministers and even DPM ? However I must admit you are right about the PMalways being a Vaish only or appointments in the Police force, PSC etc, because these practices reduce non- Vaish or non-Hindus as SECOND CLASS CITIZENs. You are also right about the dangers to Society as a whole and not only to Minorities, if we have a PM with extreme inclinations ( as per the example given by YM). However, retaining the BLS in its present form does very little against such dangers. | | | Remy | | | Katwoman nu pa rasis kuma franse nu.... ena buku ki pretan ouver me get zo frekantasion.... | | | Tryptophan | | | @ Starbright: If you find the answer to my question, you will see the premise of your "hypothesis" fall apart. You need to realise that individual Mauritians do not all toe the lines of a so-called "communal leader or party". As regards to Muslims, in 1967 the majority of them voted PMSD. Go check!! If you follow Yussuf Mohamed's interview you would probably think he speaks for each and every Muslim and that they are all feaful about losing the BLS. But in reality what is the value of the BLS for the ordinary Muslim? Zilch! Nil!!! zero!! So it is not really useful to make gross generalisations. The MMM captured the enthusiasm of not only the Muslims, but of all sections of the population in its early years. Those were the days when the nation felt confident to do away with communalism. That was because the nation was thinking BIG. If we are to reform the electoral system we need to think BIG. THE WHOLE IS MORE, MUCH MUCH MORE, than the sum of its constituent parts. We will not achieve our goal of reforming our electoral system, if we do not think about the reforming our political system, with CLEAR AIMS and OBJECTIVES in relation ro empowering the people. Focusing on the BLS is like pulling out one card from a "castle made of cards". The Sithanen report does not address the major destabilising factors in our current political system. It does not address the problem of "alliances contre nature". It does not make structural changes in our political system so that : 1. political parties may reform themselves and become more democratic and transparent. 2. So that the common people have more say, and more political power in the running of our lives. | | | Starbright | | | @Tryptophan: Thanks for your response and i'll do my very best to answer your question.The foundation of the MMM in 1969 had splitted the PMSD, the CAM and the IFB. SSR needed the support of the CAM and the IFB to achieve independence as they were all Indo -Mauritians and both CAm and IFB were broken up after independence because SSR did not need them anymore.My question to you: Why did not CAM join the PMSD and say "NO" to Independence? The BLS is dedicated to a minority ethnic group and not a minority religious group.Thank you | | | Tryptophan | | | @Starbright: Why do you think that the MMM had massive support from the Muslims since its birth in 1968? | | | chitchat | | | My knowledge of the BLS could be written on the back of a postage stamp. I'm very confused from the various comments published but SARA Jan 28 has in a nutshell been the most enlightening. Please forgive my naivety, is multiculturalism and multiracialism the real issue?
| | | Starbright | | | @Tryptophan; I do respect your opinion and you know very well that i'm against of only one particular caste to succeed as the Prime Minister of Mauritius.The BLS is complicated and we all define it our own way.You might disagree with me when i say that the muslim polulation of Mauritius is not a minority group but belongs to the majority alongside the Hindus because both are Indo -Mauritians.The General Population is the other group of Christians and is composed of all different races of the island such : Indos, Sinos, Francos and Afros.The General Population has always supported people like Jules Koenig,Gaetan Duval or even Paul Berenger the very same way the Indo -Mauritians through the Cam, IFB and the labor Party made way for the independence of Mauritius in 1967.As far as i'm concerned, there are only 2 groups of 50-50% in Mauritius.The Protestants, The Adventists, The Pentecoastals among others are also a minority but they do not mix their beliefs with politics. | | | PLOUM PLOUM - ALL BROTHERS BUT NOT BROTHER INLAW | | | @ Tryptophan : I am 1000% in agreement with you. Cynically I always say : NO MATTER WHO YOU VOTE, THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS GETS IN !! As a matter of fact, I don't really belive that our FPTP is 100% rotten. IT IS OUR POLITICIANS WHO ARE ROTTEN TO THE CORE AND NEED TO BE SENT TO THE BIN OF HISTORY. THEY ARE BEYOND REDEMPTION. If only they had practiced 10% of the Westminster Model ( not entire a perfect system ,itself, anyway) we would not be having this discussion today. Just 1 example suffice : HOW ARE CANDIDATES CHOSEN IN THE UK AND HOW ARE CANDIDATES CHOSEN IN MAURITIUS, ALL PARTIES INCLUDED. ( 11TH HOUR PARACHUTING BY THE BOSS IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY !!) | | | sara | | | BLS ou pas BLS, les gens voteront ceux appartenant a leur communautes...ainsi sont faits les Mauriciens et ceci grace aux politiciens. C'est triste que beaucoup d'entre nous sont comme ca. Il y a des mariages mixtes beaucoup plus qu'avant. Souhaitons que les enfants qui grandissent n'auront pas la meme mentalité et qu'ils seront de vrais Mauriciens et que les futures dirigeantS et politiciens se verront Mauriciens avant tout. Nous voyons tous les dégats que font les guerres. Ce que je veux c'est avoir un govenerment honnete et juste, qui est capable de prendre ses responsabilites et de donner à chacun sa chance et la place qu'il merite. Et le peuple doit etre capable d'accepter une personne competente et juste peu importe sa communaute, sa race, sa religion ou sa couleur. Un premier ministre ou un politicien doit etre comme un pere de famille. Sa famille a lui c'est son peuple. Dans une famille les enfants sont different mais le pere, il protege et aime tout ses enfants. N'oublions pas qu'avant tout on est des etre humain et que nous avons tous besoin d'oxygen pour respirer. Ne la polluons pas. | | | Tryptophan | | | @Starbright : you say that the BLS was recommended as a « corrective arrangement », but do not explain its logic within a so-called democratic electoral system. By singling out this « correctiveness » as the only undemocratic element in our system you are in fact endorsing the other realities of our electoral system as being truly democratic, « nationalistic » and « patriotic » . You are in fact saying that it is perfectly democratic for our Prime Minister to be someone of a particular Caste. You do not see any problem of nation building in the fact that all political parties field candidates on the basis of their « religion ». But I am sure this is not what you mean. I say that the whole thing stinks of « barbaric egoistical law of the jungle ». This is probably why politicians who may benefit from the chance of getting into parliament through the « window » ( BLS) are not even interested with your and my wishes for justice, fairness and POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Yes the system is set for them to use the people to get where they want to through the door or the window : they don’t care ! Therefore this waste of time and energy debating the ills or otherwise of the BLS is a necessary distraction from the main priorities. I feel that we, the people, are set against one unified enemy : the Political Class. We will not get a favourable reform ( i.e reform favourable to the people) of any of our institutions as long as we allow them to be « in charge of the reform ». Yes, the whole political system needs reforming, and we should seriously consider a departure from the First Past The Post system as we know it here. | | | tamasaek | | | Lancaster House agreement imposed by Britain and signed by all parties stipulate that those who would beneficiate from Land Reform should be the LANDLESS BLACKS (instead of Mugabe cronies) i.e the poorest and most uneducated among the blacks. But does this make economic sense. Britain would then compensate those white farmers dispossesed of "their" farmland. But that compensation promise Britain can make easily because they knew very well that things will not turn in that way in this young 3rd world democracy. Those who fought the liberation war became party members and agents of Mugabe party . Mugabe still need their support to compete for elections every 5 years. These supporters for sure want some reward from Mugabe. So land is an ideal way to reward them. So there is nothing abnormal about that. This is democracy. Mugabe knew more than anyone that land reform is bad for Zimbabwe economy. But he has no choice otherwise his supporters will leave him. Also whites are ideal scapegoat for the ecomonic miseries. Again there is nothing abnormal about that in a democracy. If we follow US presidential campaign, all the candidates are targetting China for the cause of US economic woes. Obama vow that he will be tough with China. other candidates are blaming Obama to be soft with China. But all this is to impress and fool the american voters. | | | maya | | | Les Franco-Mauriciens sont mauriciens à part entière,personne ne dit le contraire. Mais qu'ils ont construit un pays et qu'ils n'ont rien pris à personne? Les Africains débarqués ici, c'était pour faire quoi? Décoration? | | | Bal du Dodo | | | Les nostalgiques et autres apologistes de la colonisation devraient lire l'interview de Vidya Teeluck dans Le Mauricien et regardez http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un-Lj07HPuo. En esperant que Azir Moris et Amnesty Maurice feront de meme! | | | Nirmal t | | | The BLS system in only the representation of what is deeply entrenched in our nation.we simply do not have a nation mauricien.we see ourselves as groups from India ,Pakistan,Africa,France and so on .This is encouraged by our wonderful politicians and it is all to do with a divide and control philosophy . Until we get out of this stupor nothing will change.First we need to define what is a MORISIEN . | | | maz | | | Exactly my point, in fact. people are not yet 'open minded and honest'. There is too much of 'mo ban sa' and people not being given their dues in everyday situation. I know- my own relatives have problems at work and have had to be treated for stress. It happens. Until people change their attitude and truly call themselves mauritians first as they do abroad, a safety net needs to be there. Otherwise, I foresee trouble ahead. I hope that the young generation will be more open minded. | | | Francois | | | @maz. No maz, it's you who's missing the point. Open minded and honest people should not have any problem with having leader, bosses or friends from another community. You absolutely don't need to have a community represented. The only things that you need represented is YOUR RIGHTS. And your rights can be represented by anyone.. ANYONE from ANY COMMUNITY. So basically you'd only have to vote for honest politicien that truely and sincerely do what they have been mandated to do HONESTLY. IF a politician is not capable of defending the HUMAN and CITIZEN rights of people of another community, it's simple don't vote for them! period! | | | dooghall | | | Vous êtes mal renseigné. Les Français n'ont pas débarqué à Maurice pour voler les terres des autochtones. À l'époque, en 1721, l'île était déserte. Voici approximativement comment l'historien Amédée Nagapen nous décrit la prise de possession de l'île par le Roi de France. À l'entrée de la rade, à la pointe ouest de l'Ile-aux-Tonneliers, le chevalier Garnier du Fougeray, commandant du Triton, fit élever une croix haute de trente pieds, ornée de trois fleurs de lys de l'écusson royal. En face il fit hisser le pavillon blanc (drapeau du Roi de France) au haut d'un mât de dix-huit pieds. Une planche de bois à la base portait une explication latine expliquant que l'Isle de France avait été annexée par le roi de France Louis XV au territoire français. L'île resta donc un territoire français jusqu'à sa capture par les Anglais en 1810. On sait que ceux-ci laissèrent en place les colons français qui conservèrent leurs terres et purent continuer à les faire fructifier. | | | Starbright | | | The Best Loser System is undemocratic,communalistic and obstacle to nation building.It is against republican values and mauritianhood to have ethnic considerations written in the constitution.However, the BBS was not invented by Mauritians, it was first a recommendation in 1958 by Mr Trustam-Eve who believed that the General Polulation would easily obtain 30% of the MPs.Later in 1965, mr Harold Banwell- British electoral commissioner made some changes and recommended a system of variable correctives to ensure that a party which has obtained 25% of the votes in the election is guaranteed of 25% of the seats in the house. But the secretary of state sent a mediator to Mauritius and his name was John Stonehouse who scrapped the variable correctives of Banwell,he maintained, however, the constant correctives and recommended the allocation of 8 best losers instead of 5.If India was not divided in 3 parts as it is today, the muslim polulation would have been over 600 million.We are always focusing on racism but the Pakistanis, the Indians and the Bangladeshis belong to the very same race, the only difference is different beliefs and that's tthe main problem today . Religions hatred is much worse than racism. | | | maz | | | Why do people always miss the point? Even you Mr Kalla. The BLS is an odd system, but it has worked since independence. It gives comfort to some in the communities that they have people in government looking out for their interests. It is sharing out, a little bit more equitably, the seats in government. I am sure that people would feel aggrieved if they felt that all decisions were being taken by others of not their community. As there are more mauritians belonging to one community, the chances are there will always be a lot of that community in positions of power. That would create a lot of anger amongst others. People need to feel represented and heard. The BLS tries to address these issues. Communalism exists in Mauritius and until people develop a different mindset and attitude to their countrymen, they need a safety net. The BLS provides that safety net. | | | cheguevera | | | Fine ena aine depute ki appelle Fondun aine musulman ki ti elu dan Flacq Bon Acceuil.Ti ena aine depute ki appelle Yousouf Mohamed ti elu Q.Militaire so beta meme ministre travail aster la.

Je suis totalement d'accord avec Le Patriote, que Maurice (et les Mauriciens) souffrent de la même injustice inacceptable en termes d'utilisation des terres. Il est peut-être juste un "accident historique" que la revendication d’une justice est considérée comme le racisme. Et qui croit que d'ici peu l'abolition de la BLS nous ferions disparaître le communautarisme? Iqbal, la seule chose qui nous divise sur les lignes communales n'est rien d'autre mais le First Past The Post.

Nous n'avons pas besoin d'une réforme électorale, mais un CHANGEMENT DE SYSTÈME POLITIQUE. | | | PLOUM PLOUM- EST GRAND NOIR-ZULU BLANC ! | | | I sent this in a different thread but it applies here as well: Answer these simple questions: There are 8 BLS MPS (not all Muslim) , and 62 "Normal " MPS. How are these 62 Candidates (before they are elected) chosen in each Constituency (mostly parachuted at the last miniute by the Boss!!) ? Having to declare his/her "Community" on the nomination form, what is the big deal ? Does not anyone know the Community and faith of all 62 Candidates at an election without reference to the nomination form? Question: He / she fail to win as a CANDIDATE OF HIS/HER PARTY, then he is parachuted into Parliament, this time by the BLS, and NOW he/she is NO LONGER REPRESENTING HIS/HER PARTY , BUT HIS/HER WHOLE COMMUNITY OF THE ISLAND !!! To add insult to injury, NEVER EVER HE/SHE WILL BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF HIS /HER COMMUNITY IN OUR AUGUST ASSEMBLY! OTHERWISE HELL BREAKS LOOSE! Remember the Soreefan case! So what is a BLS MP there for? During a parliamentary term, he/she remain absolutely DORMANT with regard to his/her community needs, let alone, imbalanced Representation- HENCE HE/SHE PRACTICED VIRTUALLY NO COMMUNALISM . By contrast the other 62 elected MPs especially those in Government and, de surcroit, MINISTERS have a FREE HAND TO COMMUNAL GATEWAYS! (KAMAJEET OBLIGE!). Indeed the BLS is a red Herring! Some daft section of the Muslim Community (like the UM) believe that the BLS provide them a guarantee? A guarantee for what ? A Muslim NAME ONLY to sit in Parliament! Explain to me how your needs are met by the BLS ? What about the non-BLS Muslim MPS (and Ministers ) and DPM ??? Are they NOT GUARANTEES? Fortunately there are many intelligent Muslims in our midst ( eg: Ms Anaas Ruhomaully, Abu Abdullah and many others)
Conclusion: THOSE WHO ARE DEFENDING THE BLS HAVE NO CLUES WHAT THEY ARE DEFENDING. THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSING THE BLS, HAVE NO CLUES EITHER AS TO WHAT THEY ARE OPPOSING, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF OPPOSING MOSTLY BECAUSE BLS MPS ARE OF DIFFERENT "COMMUNITY" TO THEM. ABOVE ALL, WITH OR WITHOUT BLS, COMMUNALISM IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE DNA OF EACH AND EVERY CITIZEN. Combating communalism has very little to do, if anything at all, with BLS. So does MAURITIANISM!! To start, let us all grow up a bit, then perhaps there might be hope !! (Perhaps over my dead Body !!) Shabat Salom !! :.
| | | le patriote | | | Il suffit que l'on se penche un peu an arrière pour comprendre un peu mieux ce qui s'est passé..
Tout le continent africain se sont libérés des colons qui ont pris leur terres ,je pense que les autochtones ont droit a leur terre de leur ancêtre quoi qu'on on pense,l’Afrique du sud d'aujourd'hui appartient a des sud africain de souche et c'est comme ça même si en afrique la majorité des entreprises sont occidentaux comme total qui leur pompe tout leur pétrole comme au Nigeria alors que presque tous les pays africains sont sous développés et pauvre,quelqu'un parle de l'ile Maurice en disant que c'est normal ici que les colons sont venu a juste titre et profiter du système!!Je suis d'avis que tout ce qui a été donné a titre gratuit il y a 200 ans doivent être remboursés ou redistribuer a l'état car il faut une redistribution de terres si un jour on veut pas qu'il y a massacre a l'ile Maurice comme chez mugabé!!!Personne ne contesteras jamais les terres qu'un franco mauricien possède en France ,c'est légal a juste titre mais tout ce qui est colonisé doit être rendu que ce soit en Afrique,en Palestine et même a l'ile Maurice,il y en a marre que c'est toujours une poignée qui profite du système en exploitant les autres!!!
| | | Dr Gerard Henry | | | Mr Kalla always makes a good read but in this article he seems to be mixing apples and pears. The BLS is not racism per se but part of an electoral system that has spared Mauritius the worst experience of multiethnic countries such as Fiji, Guyana, Cyprus or Trinidad. The excesses of Mugabeism have nothing to do with the Mauritian experience. In passing, it's worth noting that the FM settled in Mauritus before anybody else and it's sheer drivel to suggest that they appropriated land in the manner the colonists did in Rhodesia. I am pleased to see many leading Muslims standing up in the defence of the BLS. Shame there are no Creoles prepared to raise their heads above the parapet. | | | F.A. de Plaine Verte | | | Hormis l'euphorie apres les elections 1982, le communalisme a toujours eu droit de cite chez nous sans que cela n'offusque quiconque. Le favoritisme, la marginalisation, le protectionisme, le nepotisme ont suscite la mefiance, alimente en cela par la politique ouverte d'arrachage de mauvaises herbes du mauvais cote de la montagne. 30 ans apres on constate subitement que le peuple de l'ile Maurice est assez emancipe pour des changements radicaux allant dans le sens du progres. Il ne faut pas aller si vite en besogne. Commencons au prealable avant tout project de changement par presenter des texts de loi punissant severement tout recours au communalisme dans toutes les spheres de la vie. Interdissons les partis communaux de briguer les suffrages dans une societe plurielle. Prouvons nous votre bonne foi et votre bonne volonte en bottant hors des coulisses du pouvoir ces dirigeants socio-culturels vecteurs des virus communaux.

Shakespear décrivait les émigrants juifs comme des suceurs de sang, Hitler les a exterminé pour les avoir considéré comme des encapareurs tentant de tout monopoliser.

Partager les droits proportionnellement entre majorité et minorité, oublier le passé pour coexister pacifiquement serait un nouveau commencement d'un avenir réaliste et juste. Mais dommage que beaucoup se penchent encore sur le symptome Mugabe.

Les Franco-Mauriciens sont des Mauriciens à part entière. À partir de 1721, leurs ancêtres ont transformé une île déserte en l'Ile de France devenue Ile Maurice. Ils n'ont pris la place de personne et n'ont rien pris à personne. Ça ne me gêne pas si M. Guimbeau est riche, s'il a un bateau high speed, une distillerie moderne, etc. Beaucoup de non-blancs à Maurice possèdent aussi une grande fortune et vivent dans le luxe. | | | Katwoman | | | Au vu des commentaires, il est inutile Monsieur Kalla de s'attendre à la moindre réflexion ou objectivité de "la plupart" des Mauriciens.
