After 27 days of the hunger strike by Mauritius Greens, since its beginning on 6th October , it was officially ended on Friday, 1st Nov 2013, after receiving a response from the Country’s Prime Minister accepting at least 75% of their demands on Thursday the 31st October 2013.
The government has accepted to:
- Integrate the objectives of the former project (Green Reparation Foundation) in the existing Nelson Mandela Centre ;
- Extend the number of members of its council from 5 to 10 ;
- Appoint council members on recommendation of the Verts Fraternels
- Support the board of the Centre to sensitize the former colonial powers to contribute to the fund
- Empower the centre to organize fund raising activities
We congratulate the Mauritius Greens upon receiving this great success and equally thank the Mauritius Government for taking into consideration their requests.
