As well as articles on the Ukraine war, there is an article on “Why People are out on the streets”, about the recent mini-rebellions in Mauritius. There is the witty regular column “Jabaljas ek Bulbak” who comment on the political situation. There is an article on Israel’s new attacks on Palestinians, and a comparison of the attitude of the West and the media to this conflict and the one in Ukraine. There is also the open letter LALIT sent to Finance Minister Padayachy calling for him, in his up-coming budget, to force the sugar cane bosses to use their land and infrastructure to produce food crops, and then preserve them and transform them – in the interests of food security, job creation, and stabilization of the Rupee by bringing in foreign exchange.
