Mauritius Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights Report of the Working Group on Minorities The Working Group on Minorities (WG) undertook its first visit to Mauritius since its establishment in 1995. The visit took place from 7 to 10 September 2001 and the Group went to the main island of Mauritius as well as to Rodrigues Island. In addition to meetings with authorities, the mission also met with representatives of minority communities, journalists, representatives of NGOs and leaders of political parties. The report of the visit ( E/CN.4/Sub.2/AC.5/2002/2 , 3 April 2002) notes that the two primary issues during the visit were the constructive accommodation of the various ethnic groups on the main island of Mauritius, and plans for the autonomy of Rodrigues Island. With regard to the first issue, attention focussed on the legislation and its implementation in practice, including the representation of different communities in political and social life, and on the issues of languages and education. Concerning the second, the Group held discussions with representatives of the local population of Rodrigues Island. Information is provided in the report on the history of the country as well as on the current structure of government. The report notes that four main ethnic groups have constitutional recognition - Indo-Mauritians (68 per cent of the population), Creole (mostly Afro descendants, 27 per cent), Sino-Mauritians (3 per cent) and Franco-Mauritians (2 per cent). The religious composition of the population is mainly Hindu, Christian or Muslim, with approximately 3 per cent of the population adhering to other belief systems. English is the official language but the most commonly spoken languages are French and Creole.

Navin Ramgoolam crashed to defeat in the 11 September general election as Mauritius's history of shifting political alliances continued. A new alliance of the Mouvement Socialiste Militant (MSM) of former Prime Minister Sir Anerood Jugnauth and the Mouvement Militant Mauricien (MMM) led by Hon. Paul Bérenger took 54 of 60 constituency seats for the island of Mauritius, leaving Labour with six Members. Two other seats representing the neighbouring Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues were won by local parties. Still to be allocated are up to eight "best loser" seats. Dr Ramgoolam came to power in December 1995 in an alliance with Mr Bérenger which removed Sir Anerood's government by sweeping all 60 constituency seats on the main island. Mr Bérenger left that alliance in 1997 and recently agreed with the MSM to renew an electoral alliance that won the 1991 election but broke up in 1993.

This is how the Promenade des Anglais came to be built - and named. After the incorporation of Nice into France, the railway from Marseilles was extended. That of course really put Nice on the map, and as a result, Nice became the first city to have a tourist-based economy. Until then, people travelled for economic, religious, or cultural reasons. Now, for the first time people travelled for pleasure. They came south to "get away from it all" and "to get away with everything". The modern tourist industry was born. The eagle's head on the coat of arms, which had swivelled from left to right depending on whether Nice was owned by France or Italy, now became permanently facing to the right, and so it remains to this day - to the relief of the Ni¯ois. In heraldic conventions, a left-facing eagle denotes an illegitimate branch of the family.

Africa : Mauritius Mauritius History Arab traders knew of Mauritius as early as the 10th century but never stopped to settle it. Portuguese naval explorers stumbled upon it in the wake of Vasco de Gama's voyage around the Cape of Good Hope in 1498. Still, apart from introducing pesky monkeys and rats, the Portuguese did little to influence the island. This was left to the next wave of immigrants, the Dutch. In 1598, Vice Admiral Wybrandt van Warwyck came ashore and claimed the island for the Netherlands, christening it after his ruler, Maurice, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau. It was another 40 years before the Dutch began to settle the country, preferring instead to use it as a supply base on the route to Java. The colony, however, never really flourished, and the Dutch departed for good in 1710, leaving in their wake the extinction of the dodo and the introduction of African slaves, Javan deer, wild boar, tobacco and sugar cane. Five years later, French captain Guillaume Dufresne d'Arsal claimed the island, renamed it Žle de France and gave it over to the French East India Company to run as a trading base. Popular settlement began in 1721, and within 15 years the first sugar mill had been built, along with a road network and hospital.

Later on during the 16th century the islands were frequented and some were even named by the Portuguese. In 1742 the French took possession of Seychelles, and they landed on Ste Anne Island to start permanent settlement in 1770. They ruled Seychelles for 40 years. In 1771, a year after settling in, Pierre Poivre started the first plantation industry in Seychelles with a view to compete with the Dutch in the European spice trade. During that period Seychelles was also being used as a transit point for slaves from Africa, India, Madagascar and other countries. A few were retained here to work for their masters. The geographical location of Seychelles also made it ideal for both the French adn the British during their respective reign of the islands to send all those who they wanted to get rid off for various reasons (Isolation, punishment). To name just a few the Dauphin of France, Louis XVII, son of Louis XVI, King Prempeh of Ghana, the archbishop Makarios of Cyprus (later upon his return to his country became the President of Cyprus).

Looking back, looking forward: The future of Mauritius' economy may lie in its past Return: Local News Mauritius promotes itself as a hub for Indian Ocean trade. Ships from around the world deliver their cargo in Port Louis and load up for onward trips to Asia, Europe, Africa and America. American and French companies send agents to Mauritius, anticipating big profits from trading with the region. Mauritius develops a Freeport to encourage international trade and to position the island as a regional warehousing and processing center. These descriptions sound as if they were lifted from a modern day report analyzing the Mauritian economy. But in fact this actually describes the Mauritian economy as it was 200 years ago, when the island was a thriving French colony, known as a key stop for international ships along the lucrative trading routes to India and China. Mauritius has indeed evolved and changed as the island marched through history, shedding its French and English colonial powers and turning itself into a prosperous and diversified economy that is often held up as an economic success story for Africa. Yet much of the country's current success, and the models on which it pins its economic future, have roots in history dating to the later part of the 1700s. Many of the same initiatives used to develop the Mauritian economy then opening up a Freeport for trade, developing the island's port infrastructure and its internal roads, diversifying trade beyond the colonial powers and positioning the island as a center for regional commerce are being applied anew as Mauritius repositions itself in an extremely different world economy.

Africa : Reunion Reunion History The island of R©union has a history similar to that of Mauritius and was visited, but not settled, by early Malay, Arab and European mariners. The archipelago, comprised of Mauritius, Rodrigues and R©union, was christened the Mascarenes by Portuguese navigator Pedro de Mascarenhas, following its European discovery in 1512. In 1642 the French settled the island when La Compagnie des Indes Orientales (the French East India Company) sent its ship, the St-Louis , and the King of France named it Žle Bourbon. There was no great rush to populate and develop the island and, from around 1685, Indian Ocean pirates began using Žle Bourbon as a trading base. Until 1715, the French East India Company was content to provide only for its own needs and those of passing ships, but then coffee was introduced, and between 1715 and 1730 it became the island's main cash crop and as a result the economy changed dramatically. The French enslaved Africans to do the intensive labour required for coffee cultivation. During this period, grains, spices and cotton were also brought in as cash crops.
