It was covered with a thick haze except the northwesternmost part which is a remarkable headland resembling a horse's head, the ears very distinct.

Haval is just driven around, a very high luxury car, by the way, perceived in Mauritius market here.

Many Mauritians use Haval for electric car as well.

You can't tell him what the American man is.
speaker_15AUDIENCE
And you cannot classify that man to be a Mauritian.
speaker_15AUDIENCE
And when it comes to such, I remember I'm telling you, we are the only people that are changing the name of this country, calling people of that kind to be Mauritian.
speaker_15AUDIENCE
That's right.
speaker_15AUDIENCE
No one should just start misleading people to say, no, I want to post a thing, two, three, but social media, they are spoiling our nation, they are doing that.
Nigel FarageHOST
This guy, who, by the way, was nominated by the Tories to sit on the International Law Commission back in 2021, the Uniparty alive and well, has said that he believes Chagos was a form of unfinished decolonisation and we should exercise the principle of self-determination.
Nigel FarageHOST
So what he means is the Mauritians, who've never had anything to do with the islands, should be given it, and the Portugossians should have no rights at all.
Nigel FarageHOST
This is now our nominee.
Nigel FarageHOST
to the court that gave an advisory judgment that we should give away the Chagos Islands.

The Rav Shalom Shvadran explains what is the connection between Haman and the Eitz Adas.
Moshe ElefantHOST
He says, when we think about other Mauritian, other Mauritian had a whole Eitz Gana, Eid and Tid, anything he want.
Moshe ElefantHOST
The only one tree was what he didn't...
Moshe ElefantHOST
He says, if we think about Haman, and that's what caused him to make that mistake.
CatherineGUEST
I don't know if it was dangerous.
CatherineGUEST
I think because I've done other technical climbs that maybe the Mauritians see this as a technical climb.
CatherineGUEST
I don't know.
CatherineGUEST
I don't think so.

Those killed were named Kisnazumi Munizumi, Munsami Munien, Mardai Panepen, and Sundrum Pavatdan, also known as Angele Kupan.
speaker_0HOST
Kupan, a 32-year-old woman who was pregnant at the time but whose foetus was also killed, subsequently became a powerful symbol of the Mauritian working-class movement and remains so to this day, and there are now various monuments and buildings on the island commemorating her.

CG Ma'am says, I'm going crazy over this China discourse on Chagos.
BeauHOST
Do people realise Mauritius is effectively an Indian protectorate? Hosts an Indian military base and about 70% of Mauritians are ethnic Indians.
BeauHOST
It's interesting.
BeauHOST
I did know, obviously, it's much closer to India, isn't it, than China, just on the map, of course.

Now, my surname, Ukiah, is from Mauritius, and sometimes when I meet people for the first time or they ask about my surname, I say, "Yeah, it's Mauritian." And they're like, "Really? You don't look Mauritian at all." And I'm like, "Yeah, well, my grandad is actually, like, very, very dark.
RedditorHOST
Uh, my dad's mixed race." And then they can't quite believe that.
