It is no longer a rumor that Mauritius has authorized India to set up a military base on the island of Aléga. The information is confirmed by the Indian news site The Wire. This article from July 15, 2022 also talks about an internet spy storm in Mauritius with the help of India.
Another storm will hit the government of the sister island. The Mauritian press has been reporting on revelations by Sherry Singh for several days. The old “Managing Director from Mauritius Telecom (MT)” unveiled on January 1stum July 2022 that a foreign company installed a device on the Safe Internet cable. This tool is intended to control the content of user exchanges. He had pointed it out radio moreduring his interview on Saturday, July 9, 2022, that Indian technicians worked for 6 hours on April 12, 2022 to set up this monitoring device.
Following the revelations by the head of the Mauritian telecommunications services, the Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth denied being the sponsor of this intervention and filed a complaint against the former CEO of the island's telecommunications company Sister, confirmed The Mauritian. The next day, in strong winds, the opposition demanded explanations!
On July 14, 2022, Sherry Singh was summoned to the Central Barracks to be heard on the facts presented.
Finally, at the end of the day, after an unforeseen return trip, the alleged libel candidate returned free and with a smile, without saying a word to the journalists present, notes L'Express de Maurice.
This affair, Mauricio-Mauricienne, could have disappeared from the news without the article by The Wire (India) published on its website on July 15, 2022.
Editor Devirupa Mitra reveals why Sherry Singh resigned from her post on the 1stum June 2022, but also that the ongoing work in Agaléga is aimed at establishing an Indian military base.
Basically, it was these two sensitive issues that connect Mauritius with IndiaMeasure mentioned by the leaders of both countries, like these excerpts The Wire article : “After signing an agreement in 2015, India began modernizing Agalega Island's military infrastructure and extended a $100 million line of credit for defense equipment in 2021. And to continue with the second topic, “There was a security issue and this investigation had to be carried out in Mauritius. I have personally approached Shri Narendra Modi to send a competent team for this investigation. In Mauritius we don't have the technicians for this investigation, but even if we had them, we preferred to use this Indian team of technicians,” Comments by Pravind Jugnauth.
The investigations by the criminal police inspectors are likely to be lengthy and particularly complicated. Gathering evidence isn't easy when it comes to the secrets of power.
