Hunger strike day 22: Gandhi still fighting

He has been on a hunger strike at the Jardin de la Compagnie for the 22nd day now. Though his state of health is presently on the decline, Mustapha Mohamed is adamant: he  has no intention of backing out. He insists for some positive action on the part of the authorities. The man, also known as Gandhi, explains that it’s been months now that he is awaiting a government’s decision with regard to the fate of his fellow fishermen.

 

They have stopped working for years now and there have been promises for their redeployment, but  up to now, they haven't received any positive answers. Only vain promises. 

 

«I am not fighting for my own interests but for the families of all those fishermen. A father needs to work to bring food for his children. The ministry of Fisheries has not cared to inform us of anything. They have not carried out what they promised. There has been no action in three months», cries out Mustapha Mohamed, whom we met yesterday.
