Certains ont prétendu qu’il était sous respiration artificielle, d’autres que sa santé était très préoccupante. Or, l’équipe des médecins de Dr Navin Ramgoolam a tenu à démentir ces spéculations. « L’état de santé du Dr Ramgoolam est stable, il se porte bien pour l’heure », a déclaré le Dr Farhad Aumeer, ce lundi après-midi, aux journalistes à Wellkin. Navin Ramgoolam prendra l’avion demain matin vers 7 h à l’aéroport SSR pour s’envoler vers New Delhi où il recevra des soins au All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). Bien que les raisons de ce transfert vers l’Inde soient très discutées sur les réseaux sociaux, cette décision a été prise par Navin Ramgoolam suite aux consultations qu’il a eues avec son équipe médicale. Comment se déroulera ce transfert ? Tout va commencer avec le transfert en ambulance avec tous les équipements appropriés à bord jusqu’à l’aéroport SSR très tôt ce mardi matin. 4 Société Une escorte de la police sera assurée pour qu’il n’y ait pas de retard sur la route. Le véhicule aura accès directement sur le tarmac de l’aéroport SSR où a été dépêché un avion-ambulance. Cet avion aura à son bord un approvisionnement en oxygène si le besoin se fait sentir. Un anesthésiste du ministère de la Santé accompagnera l’ancien Premier ministre ainsi que six autres médecins. Sa femme, Veena Ramgoolam, et un proche, Dhaneshwar Damry, seront également du voyage. Il y a eu plusieurs ‘conference calls’ entre les équipes médicales de Maurice et d’AIIMS pour coordonner ce transfert. Pour l’heure, selon Shakeel Mohamed, celui qui fait le pont entre les deux équipes de professionnels, tout se passe comme prévu. Navin Ramgoolam devrait rester en Inde le long de son traitement qui durera plusieurs semaines, selon son entourage qui reste très optimiste. Pourquoi ce transfert vers l’Inde ? Pourquoi être transféré en Inde pour des soins si l’état de santé de l’ancien Premier ministre est stable ? Tout simplement, par mesure de précaution puisque Navin Ramgoolam souffre d’une comorbidité. Navin Ramgoolam n’est pas sous respiration artificielle mais a juste besoin d’un peu d’oxygène de temps en temps. Son transfert médical en Inde a pour but de parer à toute éventualité d’autant plus que l’AIIMS est l’un des meilleurs centres de traitement au monde. La solidarité est de mise parmi toute la classe politique Depuis l’annonce de l’hospitalisation de Navin Ramgoolam après qu’il a été testé positif à la Covid-19, un véritable élan de solidarité a été constaté parmi les politiciens de tout bord. Samedi, Paul Bérenger, leader du MMM, Xavier-Luc Duval, leader du PMSD, et le ministre Bobby Hurreeram, ont souhaité un prompt rétablissement à Navin Ramgoolam. 5 Société Le président de la République en a fait de même sur sa page Facebook. La majorité des parlementaires, que ce soit du gouvernement ou d’autres partis d’opposition, ont fait part de leur soutien et ont exprimé leurs vœux de rétablissement au leader du PTr. Mais ce qui marque le plus les esprits, c’est le soutien du Premier ministre Pravind Jugnauth à son adversaire politique. Ce dernier s’est rendu cet après-midi à la clinique Wellkin pour rencontrer l’équipe médicale. Il était accompagné du ministre de la Santé et du bien- être, le Dr Kailesh Jagutpal, et du Dr Zouberr Joomaye, conseiller au PMO. Ces derniers ont eu une réunion avec l’équipe médicale de Navin Ramgoolam ainsi qu’avec Arvin Boolell et Shakeel Mohamed. Le Bureau du Premier ministre a fait toutes les démarches pour que Navin Ramgoolam puisse être transféré en Inde au plus vite. Un geste de Pravind Jugnauth qui a été salué par de nombreuses personnes. A noter que des prières sont dites à travers l’île. Aujourd’hui, c’est à Triolet dans l’ancienne circonscription de Navin Ramgoolam qu’une séance de prières a été organisée par la Dharmic Parishad Association au Triolet Ravi Ved Mandir. Demain après- midi, ce sera une autre séance de prières à Grand- Bassin pour l’amélioration rapide de l’état de santé du leader du PTr. 6 Société [Covid-19] 284 cas positifs enregistrés dimanche Le ministère de la Santé et du Bien-être a répertorié 284 cas positifs à la Covid-19 dimanche dont 280 sont asymptomatiques tandis que 4 ont été admis à l’hôpital ENT. Par ailleurs, selon les chiffres du ministère de tutelle, 826 580 personnes ont reçu une première dose de vaccin alors que 763 306, la dose de rappel anti Covid à ce jour. 8 Société Pravind Jugnauth : « Nou pe donn li tou sipor pou li kapav gagn bann lezot tretman en Inde » Le Premier ministre, Pravind Jugnauth, dans une déclaration à la presse ce lundi matin aux Casernes centrales, a exprimé ses vœux de rétablissement et de soutien au leader du PTr, Navin Ramgoolam, qui a été testé positif à la Covid-19. Pravind Jugnauth a déclaré que son gouvernement apporte toute l’assistance requise depuis que ce dernier a été admis à la clinique Wellkin. « Nou pe fer seki kapav pou fasilit so deplasman. Nou pe donn li tou sipor pou li kapav gagn bann lezot tretman en Inde », a précisé le Premier ministre. Il a dit qu’il apporte toute sa solidarité à la famille de Navin Ramgoolam et souhaite que son adversaire politique se rétablisse au plus vite. 9 Société Transfert de Navin Ramgoolam en Inde : Tout laisse croire que ce ne sera pas pour aujourd’hui L’état de santé de Navin Ramgoolam est stable. C’est ce que confirme son entourage en ce lundi 6 septembre. L’ex-Premier ministre et leader du PTr a décidé de se rendre en Inde pour des soins sur l’avis de ces médecins pour ne prendre aucun risque vu qu’il souffre d’une comorbidité. Ses proches demandent aux journalistes de ne pas spéculer sur son état de santé. Si Navin Ramgoolam souhaite avoir des soins plus spécialisés c’est par mesure de précautions, disent-ils. Et ces derniers précisent que l’Inde est plus équipée comparativement à Maurice, surtout du fait que la Covid-19 s’attaque aux voies respiratoires. Selon nos recoupements, le Bureau du Premier ministre a déjà donné son aval pour qu’un avion de l’Afrique du Sud, spécialisé dans le transfert des malades, puisse atterrir à Maurice. Ce vol de transfert devrait vraisemblablement avoir lieu demain si tout se passe comme prévu. Une communication officielle de l’entourage de Navin Ramgoolam est attendue dans l’après-midi. 10 Société Alan Ganoo : « Nou tou priye bondie pou ki li regagn so la sante... » « Nou tou Morisien sinpatiz avek ansien premie minis. Li tris kan noun aprann sa nouvel la. Nou tou priye bondie pou ki li regagn so la sante... », a déclaré Alan Ganoo, ministre des Transports terrestres et du métro léger, en parlant du leader du PTr, Navin Ramgoolam. C’était lors d’une visite de site dans le cadre du lancement de la 3e phase du projet Metro Express, reliant Rose-Hill à Réduit, ce matin, le lundi 6 septembre. « Le gouvernement a fait tout son possible, hier, pour répondre à ses 'requirements', et à ce que ses médecins ont demandé », a-t-il dit.

  • Mauritius: the Not So Perfect Democracy
    VOLUME 10 NO 1 33 MAURITIUS: THE NOT SO PERFECT DEMOCRACY Roukaya Kasenally Dr Roukaya Kasenally is Senior Lecturer, Media and Political Systems, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Mauritius e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Mauritius has come a long way since independence in 1968, when observers predicted that the ‘overcrowded barracoon’, as V S Naipaul referred to the island, would fail to achieve peace and economic prosperity. As a result of its success in managing diversity and capitalising on protected markets and guaranteed export prices Mauritius has emerged in recent decades as a democratic and economic model for its peers on the African continent. However, with the onset of globalisation Mauritius is now entering a period of democratic stagnation as islanders confront the rise of ethnic and dynastic politics, the advent of political cronyism and patronage, the marginalisation of minorities, and growing disenchantment with and cynicism about the political class. This article highlights what can be considered the numerous deficiencies and flaws in the highly celebrated Mauritian ‘picture perfect model’. Due attention must be given to addressing these if a social, economic and political implosion is to be avoided. INTRODUCTION It is hard to find any literature or indicators1 that do not commend Mauritius on its economic performance and political stability. There is no doubt that the island 1 Economic indicators: Upper-middle-income economy, GDP per capita, US $8 588 (World Bank indicators 2010); growth rate, 2.1% (World Bank 2010); Index of Economic Freedom, 75,ranked 12th worldwide (Heritage Foundation / Wall Street Journal 2010); Human Development Index .701, ranked 72nd worldwide (UNDP 2010).
