One woman speaking to the media at the protest on Saturday afternoon said “I am present today because we want the truth. They didn’t do anything when the ship approached our coastline – 12 days they didn’t do anything until the oil spill and now thousands of people and marine people are affected.”
Similar protests were also reported around the world, in the UK, France and Australia, and while government sources in Mauritius say the ship’s captain has been arrested, he has yet to comment.
Mauritius is a nation largely dependent on tourism, and with its largely pristine local environment and water sports forming a huge part of that dependency, thousands of local Mauritians employed in the industry are directly affected.
