RACIST SECTARIAN OLD BLACK 'CREOLES' OF TRINITY COLLEGE IN MAURITIUS SUPPORTERS OF APARTHEID ISRAEL.

NO REAL CHARITY, BUT MAINLY DIRTY POLITICS BEHIND ALL THIS!

MICHAEL JACKSON, LIONEL RICHIE, AND OTHERS SCREAMING OR SHOUTING "WE ARE THE WORLD"!

U.S.A. for Africa

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world
We are the…

[MY COMMENT DISAPPERAED TWICE WITHIN 1-3 MINUTES???]

Hey JAC CHAUVIN, WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF ? 

 IT TOOK YOU LESS THAN 3 MINUTES TO REMOVE MY CONTRIBUTION, BUT I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN! 

 

 Honte à vous, créolistes noirs! Vous a-ton appris à parler patois au Trinity College ? La laideur de votre stupidité sectaire me donne envie de vomir ! Tas de sauvages, incapables de la moindre créativité ! Votre noiritude raciste me dégoûte ! J’avais jadis connu ce collège comme un établissement catholique proche de la franc-maçonnerie, mais multi ethnique et multiculturel ! Paying your «gratitude, respect to Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson” for screaming “We are the World” for “black” Africa? Why? BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH “BLACK”? (Lionel is still alive!)

 

 Is all Africa black or Christian? Shame on you! You, Black and multi-coloured descendants of Africa, Madagascar, Comoros, Indians and Chinese who refused your multi ethnic and multi-cultural Mauritian identity to identify yourselves with White Racist Christianity and White Racist France, and call yourselves CREOLES like the White European slavers! Shame on you! 

 

 Is that all Trinity College Old Boys and Girls can do after 25 years? Bunch of sectarian savages and your Jesus-God “turning stones to bread”, that Jewish Gospel joke! 

 

I always taught my students to be critical of everything, to never believe anything, but always do their research, but visibly you don’t!

P.S. Your Black “Creole” King, a notorious pimp, fornicator, and drug trafficker, I knew personally, used to brag that he was financing Apartheid Israel! My question: 

 

HOW MANY OF YOU “BLACK CREOLES” SUPPORT THAT RACIST TERRORIST US AND SOVIET MILITARY BASE IN THE HEART OF ARAB AND MUSLIM LAND? It’s a rhetoric question!

WIKIPEDIA

"We Are the World" is a charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is the eighth best-selling physical single of all time.

Following Band Aid's 1984 "Do They Know It's Christmas?" project in the UK, an idea for the creation of an American benefit single for African famine relief came from activist Harry Belafonte, who, along with fundraiser Ken Kragen, was instrumental in bringing the vision to reality. Several musicians were contacted by the pair, before Jackson and Richie were assigned the task of writing the song. The duo completed the writing of "We Are the World" seven weeks after the release of "Do They Know It's Christmas?", and one night before the song's first recording session, on January 21, 1985. The historic event brought together some of the most well-known artists in the music industry at the time.

The song was released on March 7, 1985, as the first single from the album by Columbia Records. A worldwide commercial success, topping music charts throughout the world and becoming the fastest-selling U.S. pop single in history. The first ever single to be certified multi-platinum, "We Are the World" received a Quadruple Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Awarded numerous honors—including three Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award—the song was promoted with a critically received music video, a VHS, a special edition magazine, a simulcast, and several books, posters, and shirts. The promotion and merchandise aided the success of "We Are the World" and raised over $63 million (equivalent to $147 million today) for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US.

Following the devastation caused by the magnitude 7.0 M earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, a remake of the song by another all-star cast of singers was recorded on February 1, 2010. Entitled "We Are the World 25 for Haiti", it was released as a single on February 12, 2010, and proceeds from the record aided survivors in the impoverished country.

In March 2020, Richie suggested that a third remake should be made to communicate a message of global solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic and raise funds for aid efforts.^[1]

CHURCH CONSPIRACY AGAINST MINORITY PROTECTION SYSTEM IN MAURITIUS

CHURCH CONSPIRACY AGAINST MINORITY PROTECTION SYSTEM IN MAURITIUS

Conspiracy against the BLS Minority-Protection System?

The majority has no right to remove any minority-protection system simply because minority protection is an inherent right of each individual minority and does not depend on the will of the majority or of a particular racist Lobby. Rama Sithanen, and Pr Singfat Chu by extension, may have the backing of the Church but the truth, as rightly pointed out by Me Yousuf Mohamed, Senior Counsel, is that any removal of minority protection for any minority community does have the potential to create social unrest in the country.  The minority-protecting Best Loser System (BLS) is the bedrock of our independence and stability.

Rama Sithanen, Archbishop Piat, Singfat Chu and Me Yousuf Mohamed

The Mauritian First Past The Post (FPTP) system does not yield just results, given that the population is not homogeneous, as it favours the majority community. The religious configuration of the Mauritian population is as follows : Hindus (49%), Christians (32%), Muslims (17%), Others 2%, while ethnically, the population is made up of Indian-Mauritians (68%), African-Mauritians (29%), Sino-Mauritians (2%), Euro-Mauritians (1%). Percentages are approximations.

The population is not evenly distributed and candidates are not elected by national votes but rather by votes at constituency levels, of which there are 20 (returning 3 candidates in each constituency) in Mauritius and 1 constituency in Rodrigues (returning 2 candidates). Moreover, there is no law which can decide what criteria a voter should use when casting his/her vote. A voter may decide to vote out of personal preference irrespective of the programme presented or vice versa. A voter may vote because the candidate is a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, an Indo-Mauritian, an Afro-Mauritian, etc. A voter may also vote because the candidate is black or white, man or woman.

Hindu majority and Independence

In general, therefore, FPTP yields skewed results in favour of the Hindu majority in that there tend to be more Hindu MPs compared to their percentage of the population. Strictly, Hindus have every right not to accept any form or reform which would dilute their majority even by one candidate.  They can easily argue that even though they are Hindus, there is nothing which prevents them from looking after the interests of all Mauritians, irrespective of religion and ethnicity. In fact, it would be unlawful to discriminate against anyone. PM Dr Ramgoolam may be a Hindu, but he is the PM of all Mauritians. The idea to add an arbitrary 20 MPs selected from unelected candidates in Party Lists, which favour large parties, allegedly on a PR basis to dilute the Hindu majority and to attack Muslims who justly regard themselves as a minority protected under the BLS is preposterous and should be rejected outright.

Before independence, based on the demands made by various communities in Mauritius, politicians trashed out and adopted a minority-protection system in London, called the Best Loser System (BLS), which can be said to have been a condition for independence, based on the Banwell recommendations as modified by Stonehouse and agreed upon by the three main political leaders Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, Gaëtan Duval and Abdool Razack Mohamed. Most Muslims voted with most Hindus in favour of independence. For this system to operate, a candidate is required under the law to declare his/her community by way of life (Hindu, Muslim or Sino-Mauritian), or select the residual category General Population where the way of life does not apply. No minority-protection system can operate if the majority and minorities are not identified both in the population and amongst the candidates upon nominations. This is why a reasonably up to date census is important since it provides valuable demographic data. All modern countries use censuses to maintain social and political stability amongst their people. The BLS only allows the nominations of 8 unelected candidates from under-represented minorities, and it has been working well since independence in 1968. This system can also be extended to include women. BLS runs adjacent to FPTP. BLS is a reforming system in itself as it makes up where democracy as expressed via FPTP fails.

Rama Sithanen’s and Singfat Chu’s campaign against BLS

However, there has been a consistent campaign in a section of the population as well as in a section of the press against the fact that the Mauritian PM always tends to be a Hindu and, for some obscure reason, they tend to believe that the reforming BLS is at fault rather than the FPTP beast. People like former Finance Minister Rama Sithanen (January 2012 electoral reform report) and his acolyte Assoc. Pr Singfat Chu (Decisions Sciences) of the University of Singapore Business School want to respectively « subsume » and abolish the reforming BLS and replace it with a Proportional Representation system which will not touch the FPTP beast, but nominate an arbitrary extra 20 candidates amongst the unelected as MPs per the wishes of the leaders of large parties. Refer to Pr Chu’s articles published in Mauritius Times of 5^th & 12^th October 2012. This is the most ridiculous suggestion which anyone can propose, not to mention all the corruption which such a system carries in its entrails. It is beyond reason how any government could even entertain such suggestions.

The flaws in Rama Sithanen’s January 2012 report have been highlighted in the press. In several comments, Pr Chu’s, who Sithanen mentions in his report, has been trying to support Sithanen flawed analyses and formulae but was unable to convince people. Now that electoral reform seems to have been put on the back burner, Pr Chu comes out with his guns blazing in Mauritius Times against BLS in an attempt to revive the anti-BLS campaign. In his article « We do not need BLS » (Mauritius Times 5 Oct 2012), Pr Singfat Chu begins by attacking Me Yousuf Mohamed, Senior Counsel, son of the late Sir Abdool Razack Mohamed who negotiated BLS prior to independence to protect Muslims’ representation, for stating that the removal of the BLS minority protecting system would provoke social unrest in the country.

While Sithanen uses a French title « Initiative Citoyenne pour une réforme électorale réalisable à Maurice » for his report in English, without explaining what he means by « initiative citoyenne », which is a French political concept emanating from the French discriminatory politics of laïcité, Pr Chu speaks of « Mauritianism », translated from the original French term « Mauricianisme » (like « Créolisme »), again without explaining what this means. « Initiative citoyenne » and « Mauricianisme » are two sides of the same coin. If Indo-Mauritians decide to remove the Dutch name Mauritius and replace it with CHOTA BHARAT, where would ‘mauricianisme’ go?

Flaws in Sithanen’s report

The flaws in Sithanen’s January 2012 report are summarised below:

1. Sithanen selected no sample and carried no survey of the Mauritian population for whose benefit his report is supposed to be dedicated. He was more concerned with « political actors », his own « PhD thesis », some people and organisations of « good background », ranging from PM Dr Ramgoolam, Chief Justice Bernard Sik Yuen to Lindsey Collen of Lalit and Cehl Meeah, MP and leader of FSM, and Pr Singfat Chu. Sithanen is projected as an ‘expert’ on electoral reform when his PhD was in Politics and only his student thesis was on electoral reform. As an Economist myself, well-versed in Politics, Sociology, Finance, Statistical Methods, my student thesis was on banking; this would hardly make me an ‘expert’ in banking!

2. While complaining that the Carcassonne Report is « too radical a departure », Rama Sithanen wastes a lot of time on past history, constituency boundaries and electoral systems in other countries, such as Spain, the UK and Lesotho. He demonstrates his obsession with the Sachs & Carcassonne Reports. Sithanen criticises Carcassone for using the Spanish model, saying that « Electoral systems that are successful in almost homogeneous societies like Spain might not necessarily work in plural countries like Mauritius » (p.3), but then goes on to look at the « Outcome of elections in Spain 1979-2011 » and says « The same phenomenon  could very well happen in Mauritius » (pp.12-3).

3. While Christian parties exist in many of the countries Sithanen refers to, he wants the Mauritian government to « avoid communal parties » (p.27), which I suppose he means community-based parties as he confuses them with communes. But the Mauritian Constitution guarantees freedom of association. How can Sithanen prevent, for example, the Fédération des Créoles Mauricien (FCM) of Jocelyn Grégoire from registering as a political party and putting forward candidates for election? Perhaps, he is targeting some other community!

4. Sithanen says « One of the important issues facing democratic plural societies is the inclusion of diverse racial, ethnic, religious, linguistic and cultural groups in the political process » (p.36), but makes no recommendation to create a Christian constitutional category since General Population is a mere residual category « regarded » as a fourth community. Perhaps, at around 33% of the population, Christians do not consider themselves a ‘minority’, but rather as a « second majority », a view effectively shared by Rama Sithanen, hence the implicit backing of his recommendations by Archbishop Maurice Piat (ref. Maurice Piat’s Pastoral speech on Ash Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 in which he backed the abolition of the BLS).

5. Rama Sithanen admits that the FPTP system is defective, yet he uses its defective electoral results to carry out simulations upon which he relies (pp.86-95). In fact, he is relying on amplified defective results to make his recommendations which do not even flow logically as those recommendations could have been made without those results anyway.

6. Rama Sithanen proceeds to measure « unfairness in electoral systems » (p.81) through the use of what he calls the Least Squares Index (LSq) formula which looks similar to a Standard Deviation formula, with a mysterious ½ inside the root, without quoting any reference where he got the formula from. His thinking is very linear. Electoral models are non-linear and any minimization (of anomalies) must be done by using iterative numerical algorithms which he has not used. He has not identified either the dependent or the independent variable in each case. He has not used multiple regression analysis nor used environmental control variables which are vital in electoral calculations and forecasts.

7. In his appendix (p.101), using the d’Hondt’s highest average method formula (which favours large parties), Rama Sithanen produces a table allegedly showing how PR seats are allocated in ‘compensatory’ mode. Under d’Hondt’s method, each party’s total number of votes are repeatedly divided by a fixed series of numbers : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on. The party which returns the highest figure at each stage of the exercise is entitled to a seat. But Sithanen applies the formula wrongly.  He uses the percentage of votes (rather than the actual votes) which he divides by the number of seats (rather than a fixed series of numbers) plus one (p.102). Also, why plus one?

8. Although Sithanen produced six pages of bibliography, he formulates no function, makes no assumptions about a fair and representative electoral system and tested none, for which he would have had to use the Lagrangean formula to test for any contradiction.

Like Sithanen, Pr Singfat Chu also carried out simulations on defective FPTP data. But, as Sithanen has been challenged on his wrong analyses and misuse of formulae, Pr Chu now tries to mop up the mess by ignoring Sithanen’s alleged mysterious OLS measure of « unfairness in electoral systems », which is central to his analyses, and by referring to some dubious « online d’Hondt PR calculator », instead of the one wrongly defined by Sithanen.

Conclusion

The BLS system is a minority protection system designed to repair the inherent anomalies in the results of FPTP. Why attack BLS? Candidates who dislike the system should be allowed to opt out. No minority-protection system can exist if the minorities it is designed to protect are not identified and compared with the majority community. The majority has no right to remove any minority-protection system simply because minority protection is an inherent right of each individual minority and does not depend on the will of the majority. BLS is the bedrock of our independence and stability. However, Hindus cannot be blamed for being the majority in order to make way, for example, for Christians like Paul Bérenger, often wrongly described as a ‘non-Hindu’. Rama Sithanen, and Pr Singfat Chu by extension, may have the backing of the Church through Archbishop Piat but the truth, as rightly pointed out by Me Yousuf Mohamed SC, is that any removal of minority protection for any minority community does have the potential to create social unrest in the country.

Mr Madhukar Ramlallah

Again, you have boycotted my response to the flawed and inciting articles you have published in Mauritius Times in which attacks against Muslims have become commonplace.

This time, it concerns my response to Assoc. Prof. Singfat Chu of the University of Singapore. You published his pieces against the Mauritian Best Loser System for which mainly the Muslim minority has been fighting for the preservation of this minority-protection system, as it was a condition for the independence of Mauritius. Since you are a Hindu, and Mauritius Times is regarded as a Hindu weekly paper, you have been splashing various articles against Muslims, written by the likes of Dev Virhsawmy and Surendra Bissoondoyal. Now, we find Pr Singfat Chu joining the fray to effectively make a case against the protection of the Muslim minority within the BLS system with the backing of the Mauritian Catholic Church and given that at around 32% of the population, Christians do not really consider themselves as a minority but rather as a « 2^nd majority » desperate for power.

In Pr Chu’s very first article « We do not need BLS », Mauritius Times of 5^th October 2012, he begins by attacking the Muslim Barrister Me Yusouf Mohamed, former politician whose late father Sir Abdool Razack Mohamed fought for and secured the protection of the Muslim Minority via the BLS before independence, who rightly stated that the removal of the BLS minority-protection system could cause social unrest in the country. You prepared the scene in order to publish the following Friday, 12^th October 2012, Pr Singfat Chu’s very inaccurate and misleading 2,027-word article « Which electoral system for Mauritius? » in which he resorted to flawed calculations based on corrupt data in order to support the equally flawed calculations of Rama Sithanen, former Minister of Finance of Mauritius.

Because Mauritius Times is a Hindu paper, Pr Singfat Chu probably felt that it was an appropriate platform to influence the Hindu majority. The fact that you have boycotted my attached reply « Conspiracy against the BLS Minority-Protection System? » emailed to you on 14^th October 2012, is clear indication that you are biased and offering the columns of your Mauritius Times for a continuous campaign against Muslims.

You should not continue to use the name « Mauritius » in « Mauritius Times » because your paper does not represent the views of Mauritians generally. You should rename it, perhaps as « Ramlallah’s Times », « Hindu Times » or « Anti-Muslim Times ». Maybe you should merge with an anti-Muslim daily. You are giving anti-Muslim campaigners a licence in the columns of your paper while boycotting rights of reply. But rest assured that it will not be long before I file an objection against your use of the name « Mauritius » in « Mauritius Times ». As a Mauritian, I have every right to file such complaint. However, although you are boycotting my rights of reply, you have no right to do so. You are a shame to independent journalism.

COWARDLY ATTACKS OF RACIST HINDU WEEKLY "MAURITIUS TIMES" AGAINST MUSLIM BARRISTER AND POLITICAL FIGURE ME YOUSOUF MOHAMED!  

We* do not need BLS

Sino-Mauritian** Professor Singfat Chu

Professor Singfat Chu

With the government having to decide on the fate of the BLS before the expiry of the 180-days deadline granted by the United Nations Human Rights Commission, we need to contribute objectively to the debate.  Sadly, Mr Yousuf Mohamed made several emotional and factually incorrect statements in the interview published last Friday (Sep 28). I condone anyone who makes statements like, “… Si vous voulez abolir, allez y, mais attention! Ce sera la pagaille, il y aura des bagarres… ». Not only is this emotional and a deterrent to any serious debate, but it is vacuous unless Mr Mohamed has a crystal ball which allows him to see the future. Could he be looking at the wrong side of the rainbow?  Has BLS made a significant difference to the representation of communities in our National Assembly? Let’s examine the statistics. In the 10 general elections held between 1967 and 2010, the communal split among the 620 (=10 x 62) “First Past the Post” elects has been 368 : 156 : 85 : 11. After the application of BLS which brought in another 67 elects, the respective split became 371 : 203 : 102 : 11. Clearly, one community has never obtained any BLS seat but Mr Mohamed incorrectly states that it is among the two that have benefitted the most from BLS!  The above splits which translate into 59.4% : 25.2% : 13.7% : 1.8% pre-BLS and 54.1% : 29.4% : 14.8% : 1.6% post-BLS indicates that BLS has hardly made a significant difference in the representation of communities. Beyond statistics, has BLS ever made a difference in the deliberations in the National Assembly? Has anyone dissented from party stand and voted along community line? The fact is BLS has benefited individuals rather than communities! And it is these very individuals who are now unsurprisingly among the most vocal to maintain it. I concur that BLS provided assurance at the time of Independence but in 44 years of existence, it has yet to make any significant difference to the representation of communities or in the articulation of “communal” opinions at the National Assembly. There is no little reason to fear its retirement. Moreover, some constituencies are deliberately carved to favour the election of minorities. I submit that there is greater shortfall potential in the representation of communities in “equalizing” constituencies across the country than in removing BLS.    If an electoral reform takes place in the form of a mixed Proportional system comprising FPTP*** and Party List elects, fair and even enhanced minority representation will take place as long as parties place say 6 minority candidates in the top 8-10 positions in their party lists. Beyond fair community representation, party lists can bring in more women and representatives of interest groups e.g. handicapped, unions, etc. In conclusion, I concur with Mr Yousuf Mohamed that, “…Nous sommes tous des Mauriciens malgré le Best Loser System.” But I invite him to reflect and just envision how Mauritianism****, which we have been striving for since Independence, can leapfrog without BLS.

Par:-  Lindsay Rivière On 14/10/2012 Alors que les évolutions semblaient se préciser rapidement en 2012 pour un large « rethinking » du système électoral et du futur modèle de république, un fl ou pesant se réinstalle. Les deux acteurs déterminants du jeu, le Premier ministre et le leader de l’opposition, peu à peu se retrouvent tous deux étonnamment sur la défensive, leur capacité à entraîner leurs parties respectifs dans leurs projets compromise, leurs stratégies politiques sur ces questions mises en doute dans leurs propres camps, les tactiques adoptées pour parvenir à leurs fins discrètement questionnées, autant en interne qu’en externe. Les choses se compliquent pour Navin Ramgoolam et Paul Bérenger. Cette situation est relativement inedited pour les deux hommes, habitués à canaliser le débat et à remporter l’argument sans grande diffi culté. Elle pourrait bien, à terme, paralyser le jeu politique. De quoi s’agit-il ? Pour la première fois, cette semaine, Navin Ramgoolam a fait valoir les vigoureuses oppositions internes au Parti travailliste (PTr) contre ses positions personnelles, à la fois sur la représentation proportionnelle (source de suspicion depuis 1963 en milieu hindou travailliste), sur le « Best Loser System » (sujet sensible en milieu musulman) et sur le modèle de présidence exécutive proposé. Ramgoolam n’a pas pour habitude de communiquer les frustrations de son entourage. Soit il le fait aujourd’hui pour se donner devant Bérenger une justifi cation pour traîner la jambe et diluer éventuellement les réformes. Soit il veut convaincre l’opinion publique de sa détermination à imposer la modernité aux récalcitrants. Ou alors, le PM est vraiment face à un os dur à faire avaler au PTr et joue donc son autorité.  Il y a plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles le PTr pourrait ne pas s’enthousiasmer des propositions de réforme électorale et de nouvelle république de son leader. C’est la peur (davantage que le désir de justice) qui motive le plus tout changement de comportement politique. Or, le PTr aujourd’hui n’a pas peur de l’opposition MMM. Sauf en cas de lourde défaite (mais, valeur du jour, improbable), comme en 1982 et 2000, le PTr n’a aucun intérêt direct à favoriser un Parlement élargi qui rééquilibrerait le jeu, au profi t de l’opposition. Avec les circonscriptions actuelles, le PTr se coule (comme dans un gant) dans un système électoral FPTP qui lui convient parfaitement. Il encourage donc le PM à « ne pas prendre de risques ». Le parti est tout aussi conscient que la proposition de présidence exécutive de Ramgoolam fait peut-être l’affaire personnelle de celui-ci mais ne fait pas forcément l’affaire de l’ensemble du Parti travailliste. Président exécutif au Réduit, travaillant à sa gloire personnelle, faisant les alliances qu’il souhaiterait dans ce but, Ramgoolam échapperait peu à peu au PTr. Ses liens actuels avec celui-ci se relâcheraient. Tout le « networking » sociopolitique du régime en place serait compromis et beaucoup de parasites en souffriraient. L’une des raisons (moins connues du grand public) qui motivent Ramgoolam dans sa quête d’un pouvoir légitimé directement par le peuple est qu’il en a plus qu’assez d’avoir à personnellement s’esquinter à 65 ans pour faire en permanence campagne aux quatre coins de l’île pour faire élire une majorité de députés rouges/bleus (souvent des nonvaleurs et des candidats médiocres avec pour seule qualifi cation leur « profi l » sociologique) sur lesquels reposera son pouvoir et dont il dépendra pour gouverner. Navin Ramgoolam se sert du parti mais le parti se sert tout autant de lui et chaque élu rouge exploite à fond l’image populaire du PM. L’idée d’un Ramgoolam président, prenant de la hauteur dans une deuxième République, cajolant en permanence Bérenger, s’éloignant par la force des choses du parti, abandonnant le BLS, exaspérant les musulmans et laissant les rouges se battre sans la locomotive Ramgoolam dans leurs régions, terrorise certains au PTr. Lesréticences pourraient donc s’amplifi er au fil des mois. En face, Paul Bérenger est également « on the back foot ». Aux yeux d’une bonne partie de l’opinion publique, le « remake » avec un MSM qu’il accusait hier de tous les péchés de la terre, est un « non-starter ». Ses tactiques de louvoiement permanent face aux enjeux ont exaspéré. Son manque d’engagement dans des causes chères à la jeunesse et ses propositions équivoques ont largement déçu. Sa crédibilité publique n’a peut-être jamais été autant entamée. Seule la crainte qu’il inspire le sauve de sévères critiques publiques de ses propres amis. Face à la mauvaise humeur populaire, Bérenger a choisi de se faire plus discret. Mais a-t-il encore l’autorité politique susceptible d’entraîner l’ensemble de l’opinionpublique MMM dans ses calculs ? Pour véritablement reprendre la main, et Navin Ramgoolam et Paul Bérenger ont besoin de frapper les esprits par une grande victoire électorale aux municipales. En y allant crânement, le PM tuerait dans l’oeuf toute velléité de contestation interne et établirait une autorité sans faille lui permettant d’imposer ses propositions. Bérenger, lui, soulignerait que, malgré ses déboires, il demeure incontournable, peut se faire tout pardoner et établirait au grand jour que sa stratégie de « remake » tant critiquée est une vraie option jouable et gagnable. Peut-être est-ce là, dans l’affi rmation de nouveaux rapports de force, davantage que dans le strict respect des échéances, que le pays retrouvera ses meilleures chances d’électionsmunicipales et régionales en décembre.

Mauritian Socialo-Marxistss and Hindu-Muslim Nationalists call this White Franco-British Shit Slave Labour Colony a PARADISE and an ECONOMIC MIRACLE! 
N.B. CREOLES are White Europeans born in one of their colonies, and NOT BLACK MALAGASY OR BLACK AFRICAN! 

ROCHE BOIS, Mauritius | Mon Nov 12, 2007 9:20pm IST
(Reuters) - Drug abuse accounts for 92 percent of new HIV infections in Mauritius, up from just 14 percent in 2002, the government said on Monday.
The Indian Ocean island nation has an estimated HIV prevalence rate of 1.8 percent, which is low for the region. On the African mainland, HIV infection rates stand at 16.1 percent in Mozambique and 18.8 percent in South Africa, for example.
But officials say risky practices like sharing needles used for injecting drugs are causing many more infections. Mauritius suffers the second highest rate of heroin and opiate use in the world, according to U.N. figures.
"Some 92 percent of the virus' transmission today is through the exchange of needles by drug addicts," said Mauritius' minister of health and quality of life, Satya Faugoo.
The government was expanding a needle exchange program to supply drug users, he said.
"Initially, we are targeting some 2,000 drug addicts by June," Faugoo told Reuters, adding that the authorities were also planning to treat another 1,000 addicts with opiate substitute methadone.
Mauritius has an estimated 20,000 drug addicts among its 1.3 million population, according to government figures, but many people who work with users think the real number is higher.

BLACK 'CREOLE' ROCHE-BOIS TERRORISTS ATTACK POLICE AND BANGLADESHI IMMIGRANT WORKERS

 TU PARLES DE RACAILLE!

 

HOW TO SAVE THE BLACK CREOLES FROM THEIR DECADENT LIFE-STYLES

Woe to Gregory Jeannot, the Black Creole through whom the terror came!

 

 Catholic Church CHOUCHOUTE (favourite) Deepa Bookhun,

promoter of abortion and Sodomite LGBT.

But, where is the decadent Black Creole Catholic Church and where is their chouchoute and sexpert Deepa Bookhun, the promoter of Salman Rushdie’s SATANIC VERSES?

 

 

To be recalled:

“The Creoles” are the eternal protégés of the fascist and Zionist Ramgoolam and Catholic establishment and the major promoters of the “malaise créole” ad aeternam vitam!

 

The terrorist incidents of Roche-Bois are evidence of a deep rooted institutionalised racism within that section of the so-called Black Creole Community and of which the blame should be shared by the decadent Black Creole Catholic Church!

 

The Zionist country has been flourishing parallel with the drug trade, prostitution, pornography, gambling, usury, homosexuality, paedophilia, incest, family planning (now abortion), a corrupt judiciary, mass mind control with the public school system, now Creolised, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer! 

 

The appalling and inhuman living conditions in certain areas, mainly populated by Black Christians with their degenerate or decadent life-styles, makes Mauritius yet another dustbin of globalist savage capitalism!     

 

To be recalled:

To please the Black Creoles and their omnipotent Catholic Church leadership, the government has never released the truth about the 1960s atrocities committed by the Black Creoles of Roche-Bois, mainly Catholics, and elsewhere against innocent Muslims.

 

As long as they will not change their hedonistic life-styles, there is no hope for saving the Creoles from themselves!  They cannot keep the drugs, the racism, the prostitution and pornographic racket, the gambling and the over indulgence in alcoholic drinks and amusements at great personal costs, and their pornographic “segas” without shattering the family, destroying the society, become a nuisance in the midst of the nation, and still hoping to be saved when even Jesus Christ was unable to save them!  When the Black Creole Catholic Church promotes tourism and Jesus Christ at the same time, including cheap slave labour, obviously there is a clash!

 

« Zezi Vre Zom » ?  Mon œil!  C’est en plus ce genre de cochonneries provenant directement de l’établissement catholique qui ont causé la dégénération de certaines communautés pauvres dites créoles et qui les empêchent de guérir du mal appelé le matérialisme, et l’amour de l’argent et des plaisirs immoraux!

« De violence en violence… » par le père Sylvio Lodoiska

Sujets de réflexion

Laisser un commentaire: 

C’aurait pu être un simple fait divers tout juste digne de passer en entrefilet dans un journal à sensation…Cependant ça a fait la « une » des quotidiens les plus sérieux, le scoop des radios privées avec des reportages en direct et même un item au JT de la télévision nationale !Les faits ont commencé samedi soir, quand un jeune qui habite dans le voisinage (Roche-Bois) s’est fait taper dessus par une « vingtaine » (?) de travailleurs bangladeshis. Ce jeune, fils d’une famille respectable du coin, a eu le malheur de passer par là au moment où il ne fallait pas. Les gens du quartier s’en sont ensuite pris aux Bangladeshis  pour défendre – ou pour venger ?  – un innocent. De violence en violence… Échauffourées et jets de pierres répondant aux gourdins et barres de fer. De simples badauds deviennent manifestants violents…

Mais la police est intervenue et a pu ramener un certain calme. Dimanche, craignant pour la sécurité de ses employés étrangers, la compagnie PAD CO procède à leur évacuation sous protection policière. La colère des habitants remonte car « on s’occupe des agresseurs et on néglige la victime ». Chose erronée, car « très vite la compagnie a pris soin de faire transférer le jeune blessé de l’hôpital dans une clinique privée et s’est engagée à soutenir la famille », dixit le père de famille.

De violence en violence… L’hostilité vis-à-vis des Bangladeshis se tourne aussi contre le camion de PAD CO et contre… la police, qui a dû alors faire usage de gaz lacrymogène pour disperser la foule. Une foule qui a considérablement grossi car la nouvelle était fortement médiatisée. Du coup, il faut bloquer l’autoroute et dévier la circulation ; créant inutilement congestion et panique dans d’autres quartiers. Même dans d’autres localités, certains individus ont cru bon de jeter des pierres sur les dortoirs des Bangladeshis…

De violence en violence, on ne se contrôle plus… ou bien on profite de l’occasion pour piller, saccager et incendier. D’un simple fait divers, on aurait pu en arriver à un deuxième février 1999… Pourtant, on aurait pu éviter cela.

Pour éviter des escalades pareilles, il faut – à mon humble avis – travailler en amont, à la racine. Et dans plusieurs directions.

On ne peut pas parquer un groupe d’hommes étrangers, avec des mœurs et coutumes si différents  dans un dortoir au milieu d’un quartier sans veiller à un minimum d’intégration. Déjà, entre voisins, quand on ne se connaît pas, on ne se fréquente pas, la méfiance s’installe.

D’autant plus que l’on se trouve dans un quartier réputé délicat. Délicatesse qui s’explique par le fait que, à Roche-Bois, on a le sentiment d’être des citoyens de grade inférieur. Ici, on doit constamment se battre pour obtenir ce qui nous revient de droit. Un exemple personnel : il m’a fallu plus d’une quinzaine de coups de fil et quinze jours d’attente pour que l’on vienne réparer les lampadaires de la cour de l’église. Si je ne crie pas, on ne me prend pas au sérieux. Il a fallu qu’il y ait 11 victimes pour qu’enfin on accepte de nous donner – promise comme cadeau de Noël ! – une passerelle utilisable par tous.

Dans les événements du week-end dernier, la collaboration des Forces vives avec les autorités a – encore une fois – porté du fruit. Pourtant, la police n’a fait appel à cette précieuse aide que tardivement. Elle a négligé d’utiliser une cartouche qui s’est finalement avérée plus efficace que celles de gaz lacrymogène.Les radios privées jouent habituellement un rôle très important et permettent à la population d’exprimer des choses qui, autrement, seraient source de violence. Cependant, elles créent aussi l’événement… Beaucoup de « manifestants » sont venus parce qu’ils ont entendu parler d’émeutes à la radio et ils sont venus jeter un coup d’œil.

Roche-Bois : Angry mob outraged by injuries sustained by Gregory Jeanot during a fight with Bangladeshis

Lara Desai on September 17, 2012.

Roche Bois relived one of its worst moments with clashes between police officers and some 300 locals on Sunday. Officers had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd. The angry mob was outraged by injuries sustained by Gregory Jeanot 22 years old during a fight with Bangladeshi nationals residing in the area on Saturday night. Jeanot was admitted to Chisty Chiffa clinic.

The crowd had sieged the Bangaldeshi dormitory, smashing window panes with rocks, lighting the building and a truck on fire and damaging vehicles travelling along the motorway. The mob also looted the building while the Central Electricity Board cut electricity in the region as locals damaged electricity poles.Police removed some 50 Bangladeshis from the building and transferred them to Line Barracks, Port Louis before moving them to other locations.


Clashes started between Bangladeshis and locals started at around 9 am and police arrived soon, they closed down the motorway between 1.45 pm to 3.30 pm to control the situation. Some 20 police vans were dispatched including 15 vehicles of the SSU. The mob threw rocks at the officer too and the police reacted by shooting tear gas. After nearly five hours, the mob was dispersed. Father Sylvio Lodoiska (see above article on the Catholic Church website) was also instrumental in calming down tensions as he removed rocks and spoke with the locals.


Both the deputy commissioner of police Rashid Beekhun and superintendent of police Ahmade Reshard Delawarally channelled officers of the Special Support Unit (SSU), Divisional Support Unit and officers of Plaine Verte police station amongst others to ensure security in the region.


Minister of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Shakeel Mohamed said: “I was saddened by the actions and trust locals will collaborate with the police to bring the suspects to justice.”

People who took part in the demonstration will participate in a police line-up at the Line Barracks during the week. According to sources the suspects will be remanded to police cell, as police will object to their release.

Riot at Roche Bois Between Bangladeshi Workers and Mauritians

Published by: Melvina A. | September 16, 2012 | Reply

Reports of riots at Roche Bois have been confirmed. According to Lexpress, a group of Bangladeshi workers and an unidentified group of people from Roche Bois itself had a serious clash last night and the highway between Quay D and Riche-Terre is currently closed since 14:00 today. The highway is closed in both direction.

Today morning, a truck of the Padco company, on the way to fetch the Bangladeshi workers was torched by the angry mob. As at 15:00 today, about 200 protesters were still near the roundabout Roche-Bois. Probably ready and with a refined intention to loot shops and other commercial spots in the name of riot! (Remake of 1999?)

According to Mr Ashok Mathar from the Road Safety Unit, as at 15:00, a notable amount of SSU officers have been deployed in the region to assist the local police officers in maintaining law and order. The Special Supporting Unit had to use tear gas to disperse the angry crowd.

The riot started after a group of Bangladeshi Workers assaulted a resident of Roche Bois named Gregory Jeannot last night. The Bangladeshi workers reportedly attacked the guy as an act of retribution due to the never ending racist and derogatory remarks inflicted by the inhabitants of Roche Bois toward the Bangladeshi  Workers.

Update: As at 17:00, the road block protocol has been lifted and situation is back to normal. Police investigation follows.

 When the industrial sector in Mauritius started picking up with exports being guaranteed under different agreements Mauritius was enjoying full employment level. But soon the country started facing a shortage of cheap and skilled labour workforce and it was then that with the agreement of the Mauritian government and governments of some countries, foreign workers were recruited initially in the textile industry and they were mostly women. These workers have come in the main from China, India, Madagascar and Bangladesh. Today foreign workers are working in many other sectors of the economy.

Nobody can gainsay the fact that these foreign workers have contributed immensely to the economy of Mauritius. The Chairman of the National Economic and Social Council, Mr. Mohamad Vayid, stated in 2007 that “our dependency on migrant qualified workers has become necessary as local workers do not perform well in certain tasks.” He also added, “With globalisation, the migrant worker should be seen as an ally and not as a rival or a competitor.” This is quite true but today many countries including ours have to face not only globalization but also have to struggle in the uncertain and volatile financial and economic climate to survive. So far Mauritius has been resilient but for how long more? With the financial and economic difficulties the jobless are increasing and as in many foreign countries when the indigenous population is facing such difficulties they blame the immigrants.

We should not close our eyes to the appalling conditions in which foreign workers live, the long hours they have to put in to get the maximum money, their living conditions, and the language barrier. These workers have been led to believe that Mauritius would be their Eldorado have been disappointed by the relatively low wages and living and working conditions. They have on many occasions staged public demonstrations and taken to the streets to demand better working conditions. Unfortunately many of those who demonstrated were deported. When trade unionists want to walk inside factories to see for themselves the working conditions of these workers they are prohibited from doing so. Countries like China and India have stopped intervening on behalf of their nationals who are engaged as factory workers. So if these workers are facing problems they are almost left to themselves.

What happened in Roche Bois should be a wakeup call for all of us before the situation worsens. On the surface it would appear that what triggered the violence leading to thefts and destruction of the property of the Bangladeshi workers was an alleged assault on a resident of Roche Bois named Gregory Jeannot. According to available information the Bangladeshi workers reportedly attacked the man as an act of retribution due to the never ending racist and derogatory remarks inflicted by the inhabitants of Roche Bois toward the Bangladeshi workers. If that were to be proved then we are facing a serious situation that should be nipped in the bud. If we are going to witness racist remarks against foreign workers because of their faces or origin from people of Roche Bois it means that we have not yet left those ugly episodes in our history reminiscent of the virulent anti-independence campaign based on Hindu hegemony.

At this stage we have to wait for the police investigation and the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions in the matter. The authorities should not remain content with that fact alone. A serious study should be made on the cause of the racist attitude against the Bangladeshi workers and why these workers took the law in their own hands just as the inhabitants of Roche Bois did.

For too long now in Mauritius many inhabitants of some areas have created States within a State that they control to peddle drugs and prostitution. When the police enter these areas to arrest somebody they are attacked. For how long more are we going to put up with that? It is high time that the authorities with the help of NGOs and social workers start cleaning up these Augean stables.

MAURITIUS: ACTS OF TERROR IN ROCHE-BOIS

Well-written and well-analysed article.

Those immigrants are clearly victims of racism and more.

The government should take firm action against what are clearly acts of terror in Roche-Bois. Mauritius has no indigenous population; Mauritians are all immigrants. But some feel they have more rights than others as if the country belongs to them. This has always been the case. They were and still are racist against the way Indo-Mauritians dress, the saree, the shalwar-kameez, the dhoti, etc., against the languages Indo-Mauritians speak – Hindi, Bhojpuri, Tamil, Telegu, etc.

Contrary to what Abimanu Mathoorasing is saying, the acts of terror of February 1999 were perpetrated against the Hindus (a « peace loving people and hard working as well », as he rightly says) and what was seen as the Hindu establishment. As far as « peace loving » is concerned, it does not only apply to Hindus, but it also applies to Christians and Muslims too. However, I do not wish the excellent article of Mr Manohar to drift into a debate on the Mahabharata.

Mr Manohar rightly says : « A serious study should be made on the cause of the racist attitude against the Bangladeshi workers and why these workers took the law in their own hands just as the inhabitants of Roche Bois did ». Irrespective of what Ministers like Rashid Beebeejaun may say, the government has been delving into a politics of « deux poids deux measures » for a very long time. Even then, the beneficiaries are not satisfied. The government has been and is more obsessed with relatively non-pressing issues :

(1) Like the introduction of the creole language with a fabricated spelling à la haïtienne into our education system when Dr Carpooran himself has confessed that the language is neither « épanouï » nor « diversifié ». The effect can only degrade the education system.

(2) Like the legalisation of abortion in badly defined specific cases while leaving the big problem of backstreet abortion untouched.

(3) Like reforming not the First Past The Post beast but the taming and working BLS (since independence under the great Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam) by increasing (according to certain sources) the number of MPs by 20 so that Mauritians will have to feed more politicians. The government wants to introduce an Electoral Reform Bill before the end of the year, but no one knows what they are proposing yet and why it is so urgent.

All those distractions are designed to occupy the population with non-pressing issues when the society is very sick.

M Rafic Soormally.

It reminds me of the rioting in 1999 when people of that particular region destroyed many properties belonging to hard working people out of sheer jealousy. I know well this region where drugs and prostitution prevailed and work was not the order of the day. How did they get their living? I read some time ago that the rioting was between the Creoles and the Hindus, which was not the case at all, as Hindus, by their nature, are peace loving people and hard working as well, hence the eyesore of some. The Labour Government of 60s built many low cost houses for the poor, mostly inhabited by the Creoles, all across the island and the trouble started from these nooks and corners to focus on the wealth of others. I still recollect that many shops at Colline Candos were burnt down by the inhabitants of Cité Kennedy and you should know who were the beneficiaries of these houses.

Drug injecting triggers most Mauritius HIV cases

Roche-Bois : Des familles entières vivent au cœur d’un dépotoire

Julien Tuyau - 22/06/09

À Roches-Bois, au cœur du dépotoir où l’odeur porte au coeur, vivent des femmes et des enfants. Ce n'est plus vivre, mais bien survivre des déchets, et dans l’oubli.

L’odeur est insupportable. Sur ce site des camions vidangeurs viennent y déverser les ordures de plusieurs cités avoisinantes. Derrière des monticules de détritus, l’on aperçoit plusieurs petites cabanes, certaines en carton et d’autres en bois avec des toits en tôle. De la tôle transformée en passoire pour avoir servi plusieurs fois avant de venir finir sa vie dans le dépotoir de Roches-Bois. Dans ces petites cabanes vivent des familles entières. On aperçoit même une petite fille, à peine âgée de cinq ans, sortir d’une boite de carton.

Robert, travailleur social habitant à proximité du dépotoir, n’est pas choqué par ce spectacle. Ces scènes font partie de son quotidien. «Cela fait plusieurs mois que nous avons alerté les autorités. Le lord maire est au courant de cette situation», s’indigne-t-il. Ce dernier semble découragé, «il y a des enfants qui vivent dans ce dépotoir. C’est très dangereux, car ils inhalent de la fumée toxique. Cette fumée incommode aussi le voisinage»

Cette fumée dont parle le travailleur social émane des câbles électriques brûlés pour récupérer du cuivre. A l’extérieur du dépotoir c’est le commerce de vielles ferraille qui prévaut. Chaque camion d’ordures est suivi par une foule de gens. Ceux-ci sont à la recherche de vielles ferrailles, dont la vente leur donnera de quoi se nourrir, au moins pour une journée. «On n’a pas d’autres moyens. La vente de veilles ferrailles nous rapporte environs Rs 200», raconte Kingsley. Cet adolescent de 17 ans et plusieurs de ses amis du même âge dépendent de ce commerce.

A Roche Bois, le dépotoir est un lieu de travail et de vie. Une réalité que certains n’acceptent pas de voir, une situation qui peine à changer. Ca se passe près de chez nous. C’est là la triste manifestation de la pauvreté extrême

Roche-Bois: The Day After

Those who live near the bridge of Roche-Bois lived a Sunday high voltage. The forceful intervention elements of the riot police, who used tear gas, helped restore calm. Monday, place of arrest and the balance sheet.

The calm ...
Roche-Bois remains under surveillance of CCTV cameras. The inhabitants themselves, welcome the return to calm. "I hope it does not happen again," says Devi Goraya, near the dormitory vandalized Bangladeshi workers.

Sunday, she got the scare of his life. She was locked up with his 13 grandchildren to avoid exposure to fire smoke and tear gas dropped by the elements of the Special Supporting Unit to disperse the mob.
Jackson Emmanuel, 55, expressed relief. "It's a good thing to have evacuated the Bangladeshis. This is not the first time they beat up people! When they are drunk, they do not respect nothing and indulge in obscene gestures at women. It's good that they are gone. This house dormitory was once inhabited by Malagasy and Chinese. There never had problems with them ... "Steeve Ip, owner Philip Store, hopes that" the police will do their job. "

Creating links
Father Sylvio Lodoiska contributed greatly to calm the overheated. "This is an unfortunate situation that could have been avoided. With the Malagasy, there has never been a story. This is a problem of creating links. The Malagasy were communicative, made an effort. With Bangladeshis, there were none. But you can not blame anyone, the damage is shared. "The priest promises to get everyone together for a common reflection: the people, the police, the MLA Shakeel Mohamed.

Stigmatize the neighborhood
The inhabitants of the vicinity of the bridge refused to blame. Danny Arthur, President of the Movement Zeness Gateway Roche-Bois, deplored "the violence committed by the inhabitants of Cité Roche Bois. We are more peaceful. We are stigmatized because of others. I ask Shakeel Mohamed us pay more attention to destigmatize the place and improve infrastructure. We must build a kindergarten, clean rivers and build a multipurpose center. '

Relocation of Bangladeshis
A portion of expatriates employed by Pad & Co, were evacuated to another area. The firm decided to relocate elsewhere. Burty Fanny, head of security at Pad & Co, explains that "Bangladeshis are traumatized. Some have nevertheless returned to work. Damages have not been assessed. Management will relocate them away from the area. "

St Malo alert
The dormitory seven Bangladeshi Meicos Textprint Ltd was vandalized Sunday at 20 h 20. Individuals have stolen the windows shattered. Workers ensure that there were twenty men armed with knives, swords and sticks. Gaëtan Rayepa safety officer expatriates, thinks "that it is the impact of riots Roche-Bois." Police Baie-du-Tombeau investigation. The patrols will continue in the evening and the company ensure the safety of workers. "We will repair the damage and will place a guard in the building every evening from 21 hours. We remain alert, "says Gaëtan Rayepa.

Operations affected Pad & Co
Two dormitories Bangladeshi workers have been the scene of riots, on Sunday afternoon. This has had an impact on operations Pad & Co, located in Roche-Bois. Meico Textprint, based in St-Malo, is lucky.
Many Bangladeshi employees housed in dormitory Roche-Bois which was looted and burned, were not made on various sites Pad & CO. They were 150 expatriates from Bangladesh to live in this building. This is an employee of 10 the entire staff of the construction company.

"With all these absences on site, we are working today (Monday) at idle. Moreover, regarding the hosting of these Bangladeshis, we had to find a temporary solution. But we will provide them with a decent final quickly. We are currently in close contact with the authorities concerned, "says Alex Bibi, Director of Human Resources at Pad & Co.

In addition, a second dormitory Bangladeshi workers has been the target of attacks, Sunday afternoon, this time in St-Malo. The link is not established between the two incidents. In the latter case, it is a building that houses expatriate employees of the company Meico Textprint. The difference: all employees have gone back to the factory on Monday morning and no result has been reported on the activities of the company, says management.

"All is well in operations since this morning (Monday). These workers were afraid, but we were able to comfort them and give them confidence. As for accommodation, we had no choice but to keep them in this dormitory. But tonight, we'll try to leave Mauritius on site for communication in the event of a problem, "says Gaëtan Mayépa, director of Meico Textprint.

CUI BONO?
