Maurice : A.I. RESPONDS TO QUESTION ABOUT LALIT'S PROPOSAL FOR CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES

LALIT — 2024-05-26T03:00:00Z

Following the publication last week of LALIT's Electoral Program on Constitutional changes on 11 May on www.lalitmauritius.org and on our Facebook page, a reader called Yvan Luckhun sent us an interesting response in the comments section of our social media page. He had asked one of the Artificial Intelligence or A.I. applications a question on LALIT's proposal. The answer shows how far and how fast A.I. has developed since its first steps. It makes interesting reading.
We asked if he (…)

DES HEREROS, DES PALESTINIENS ET D'AUTRES ANIMAUX HUMAINS

LALIT — 2023-11-18T04:00:00Z

Le 12 janvier 1904, un groupe de Hereros, une tribu d'éleveurs de bétail, se rebelle et attaque une garnison allemande à Okahandja en Namibie. Plusieurs fermiers blancs sont tués, des chemins de fer sabotés et des exploitations agricoles incendiées. Les journaux allemands et français déplorent la sauvagerie de l'attaque. Des illustrations montrent des Noirs agressant des femmes de colons. L'émotion est à son comble dans le deuxième Reich. Il faut se venger et agir avec une fermeté (…)

ECOLOGICAL TRAGEDY UNFURLS AS WAKASHIO SPILLS CRUDE OIL – WAS IT EVITABLE ?

LALIT — 2020-08-10T04:00:00Z

The Wakashio oil spill is an ecological tragedy in the pristine waters near Mahebourg. It will take years to heal. Effects may even be irreversible. So, in LALIT, we believe questions need answers. To what extent is this kind of event “inevitable” or “evitable” ? And what are the basic issues that lead to such an “accident” happening in the first place. Is it really an “accident” ?
Too many issues are not being getting answers : How on earth and why on earth could such an immense tanker (…)

CAPITALISTS' IMMORAL TRICKERY EXPOSED BY “MAURITIUS LEAKS”

LALIT — 2019-08-09T03:58:00Z

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the non-profit USA-based organization that published the Panama Papers, has now exposed the big companies that nip through the Mauritius off-shore to invest elsewhere : the companies are tax dodgers. The ICIJ report begins with a narrative on how Bob Geldoff's financial advisors placed some of his fortune here in a Mauritius off-shore company in order to invest in Uganda later, and did this for tax reasons i.e. Uganda would not get (…)

UN MASSIVE VOTE TO GET THE UK TO END ITS ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF PART OF MAURITIUS, CHAGOS, INCLUDING DIEGO GARCIA

LALIT — 2019-05-24T03:55:00Z

The UN General Assembly yesterday voted massively – 116 in favour, 6 against – to get the UK to end its illegal occupation of part of Mauritius, Chagos, including Diego Garcia.
This is a significant victory for de-colonization. The issue of decolonization of Chagos has finally hit the headlines world-wide in a big way, thus breaking the Omerta. The reporter from The Guardian, Owen Bowcott, has gradually since 16 November 2016 caused the breach in the black-out that amounted to an (…)

Maurice : LALIT opposes increase in MBC Fees

LALIT — 2013-07-29T03:05:00Z

The Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation intends to increase its check-off on the CEB bill we pay by a whole 50%. Although there is an exemption for those paying minimum CEB rates, the increase is exorbitant, if you bear in mind the number of work sectors where wages are very low. The MBC is particularly badly placed to claim more funds from the public, because : The MBC TV and Radio news reports are not prepared in the interests of the public, but in the interests of the political parties in (…)

Dépénalisation de l'avortement à Maurice

LALIT — 2012-08-23T03:03:00Z

Les victoires, même partielles, ne sont pas légion ces temps-ci. En voici une que LALIT voudrait partager car il s'agit d'une nouvelle donne importante dans la lutte des classes et dans la lutte pour l'émancipation des femmes à Maurice. LALIT est le seul parti politique qui a, ces dernières décennies, mené une campagne en faveur de la dépénalisation de l'avortement. Finalement, le mois dernier, le Parlement a voté une nouvelle loi sur l'avortement qui remplace celle datant de 1838 et qui (…)

Maurice : Bérenger's MMM Split Down the Middle on Abortion Decriminalization

LALIT — 2012-07-13T03:00:00Z

MMM Leader Paul Bérenger has had a most suspectrole on the question of the partial decriminalization of abortion. First, he refused to meet the Common Front in Favour of the New Abortion Law, a broad, secular Common Front grouping together women's organizations, unions, human rights and students activists, and the MFPWA. As it turned out, the Common Front's ideas are supported by over ¾ of Parliament, and ¾ of women (DCDM Research). But Bérenger refused to receive a delegation.
Then sans (…)
