1/10 Mauritius ranks 8th among 56 Commonwealth countries for youth AI readiness in the Ayre Index, ahead of every other African member. Encouraging news. But before celebrating, let’s look at what this ranking measures—and what we still need to build.
9/10 Kreol Morisien deserves a place in this effort: voice tools, transcription and access to services. Support local datasets and testing, with consent and privacy protections. Inclusion also depends on the language people use every day.

Des dizaines de journalistes tués à Gaza étaient aussi des combattants du Hamas ou du Jihad islamique. Les organisations de défense de la presse commencent, discrètement, à revoir leurs listes.

🚨 GAZA PHOTOGRAPHER ADMITS HE WITHHELD OCT. 7 FOOTAGE
Prominent Palestinian photographer Motaz Azaiza says he filmed Israeli hostages being abused by crowds on Oct. 7, but deliberately did not publish the footage because he feared Israel could use it to identify and target those involved.
He also delivered unusually harsh criticism of Hamas:
• “Show me one Palestinian in Gaza who was protected by Hamas’s weapons. No one.”
• He says Hamas had a chance by Oct. 11, 2023 to accept a deal involving disarmament that could have prevented massive destruction and loss of life.
• He describes a Hamas-run WhatsApp mechanism used to intimidate journalists, circulate their personal details, and coordinate attacks against anyone who crossed the organization.
• Gaza photographers, he says, learned to lower their cameras whenever civilians criticized Hamas because publishing such footage could make them targets.
Azaiza was named to TIME’s 100 most influential people and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Now he is describing, in his own words, how much of Gaza’s story never made it onto your screen.
Fauda « manque de pudeur » en reconstituant les attentats du Hamas, nous explique Libé.
Le problème, voyez-vous, ce n’est pas tant la barbarie des faits que l’indélicatesse de les montrer. @libe au sommet de son art. 😂
1/...Aujourd'hui dans Libé, on apprend que la saison 5 de Fauda, cette série israélienne qui suit une unité d'élite de Tsahal, laisse vraiment à désirer, selon @theoddore.
Déjà, deux épisodes reconstituent "sans immense pudeur les attentats du Hamas".
Ah, la pudeur...
The White House is reportedly considering a plan to BUY the Chagos Islands — potentially bypassing the UK and disrupting Keir Starmer’s proposal to hand sovereignty to Mauritius. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇲🇺
But senior figures in Trump’s circle fear that transferring control to Mauritius — viewed by some US officials as increasingly aligned with China — could create espionage and security vulnerabilities.
