Do fairies tell tales?

Once upon a time there was a Mighty King. So-called because he might have been the King of Kings, but for a weakness in his heart. To compensate for his weak heart, he had a powerful and remorseless army. Using great cunning, his army slowly took over the vast realm of a beautiful Queen. After the conquest, the King surveyed his new acquisition and found a priceless diamond which became the jewel in his crown.

The army had stripped the Queen of all her dignity but allowed her some measure of freedom. When the King’s eyes first fell upon her naked beauty, he was filled with lust and raped her. In shame, she hid herself from public view and, in the fullness of time, she gave birth to twins: a girl and a boy.

Open Agenda – Part 1

Hi, my name is Richard Munisamy, you have probably never heard of me. Basically, I am nobody and have done little of note apart from co-founding the NGO, We Love Mauritius. I am making this statement to explain why I have taken the Electoral Supervisory Commission to court over the present elections. Perhaps you are a little curious.

An Election with no Political Parties?

As we approach another general election, while alliances have shifted, one thing remains stubbornly the same. We still have no rules to counter the habitual opacity of political parties when it comes to revealing the sources and beneficiaries of their funds. The Electoral Commission has failed to provide a binding code of conduct, and organisations like Transparency Mauritius have been unsuccessful in demanding one. It has now been revealed that the out-going Government could have improved the situation with a small amendment to a single law. By failing to do so have they shot themselves in the foot?

Murdering Americans

Here is an extremely sad example of the barbarism of the US military and another reason why all the bases they occupy in sovereign countries around the world, including Diego Garcia, should be closed. They have no respect for human life, not even children. Watch this film.

Annual Review 2009

We Love Mauritius posts its Annual Review and Financial Statements on-line as past of its commitment to transparency and accountability. Is this the first Mauritian NGO to do so?
