Une terre sans partage

Toutes ces splendeurs de la nature

Sont là pour nous confondre.

Même le ciel majestueux

Et l’harmonieuse rondeur du globe terrestre

Ne sont que trompe-l’oeil

Pourvu de richesses abondantes

Et sous un dehors captivant,

Professant démocratie, jurant droits de l’homme,

Le monde n’est que barreaux de fer

Solidement fixés, serrés, vissés, soudés.

Mesures combien efficaces

Pour la ségrégation

Des peuples,

Des races,

Des croyances

Des cultures!

Nous sommes aujourd’hui témoins,

ô combien impuissants!

D’un monde en détresse,

D’une humanité refoulée,

D’une terre sans partage.

An Appeal

Dear Reader

65 years ago Mauritius Times was founded with a resolve to fight for justice and fairness and the advancement of the public good. It has never deviated from this principle no matter how daunting the challenges and how costly the price it has had to pay at different times of our history.

With print journalism struggling to keep afloat due to falling advertising revenues and the wide availability of free sources of information, it is crucially important for the Mauritius Times to survive and prosper. We can only continue doing it with the support of our readers.

The best way you can support our efforts is to take a subscription or by making a recurring donation through a Standing Order to our non-profit Foundation.
Thank you.
