Mauritius in the news

Strawb,

  That's a tough one. Most of the breaking news comes from L'Express or Le Mauricien, and both are published in French/Creole. The site newsnow.mu used to offer English-language news, but it seems to have been taken offline for some reason (check their site for the cryptic notice).

  Frankly, your best bet is to find someone you trust to translate the local papers for you (e.g. my wife, whether I want to hear it or not). Or learn French.

  Note: As the size of the English-speaking ex-pat community expands, the demand for a reliable English-language news source will increase. Here's hoping someone with the time and means will "do the necessary" since we really need to know what's going on behind the scenes, especially in political circles. Scary stuff!

You do have stuff written in English in L'Express.

It's hard to find something that is not biased here!

Try theindependent.mu it is an English newspaper. If you register free, you get it thru e-mail.

Cheers!!!

Thanks! The independent seems quite good.
