Why are thousands of people marching in Mauritius?

This is because the people protested that the government had mishandled the oil spill of the Japanese cargo ship, and the follow-up treatment was "negative", which led to the pollution of offshore coral reefs and environmental damage. Therefore, more than 10,000 people, including some leaders of the opposition party in Mauritius, took part in the parade that day. Protesters, holding the Mauritian flag and various slogans, staged a March in the capital Port Louis.

Mauritian Prime Minister Jagger Nath said that the investigation is still in progress. He appealed to the public to believe the findings of relevant institutions. As of August 29, the number of dead melon whales in the coastal area near southeast Mao has risen to 39, and the local fishery department believes that whale death has nothing to do with oil spill.

Extended data:

Mauritius officially started the sinking of the Japanese cargo ship Ruochao, which leaked oil.

On the 20th local time, the sinking of the Japanese cargo ship Ruo Chao, which ran aground in the southeast of Mauritius and caused fuel leakage, was officially launched.

"Ruochao" broke into two pieces. According to Dona, director of Mauritius Maritime Bureau, the first half of the cargo ship was towed to the sea off the coast of Mauritius 13 nautical miles (about 24 kilometers) that day, and the sinking operation began. Dona said that because there is still nearly 30 cubic meters of mixed oil in the second half, this part of the hull is still stranded in the sea area.

The National Crisis Committee of Mauritius 19 decided to tow the first half of the cargo ship Ruochao to a distance of 13 nautical mile from the coast of Mauritius and sink it. It is reported that the owner of "Ruochao", Japan's Changpu Steamboat Company, will launch an international tender and select a contractor to handle the stern part.

The "Ruochao" ran aground in the southeast waters of Mauritius on July 25th, and all the crew members were evacuated safely. On August 6, the hull of the cargo ship broke and a large amount of fuel leaked. According to local media reports, the cargo ship carried about 4,000 tons of fuel, and at least 1000 tons of fuel leaked into the nearby waters. On 12, Mauritian Prime Minister Jagger Nath announced the end of hull pumping.

Mitsui Co., Ltd., the operator of Ruochao, and Changpu Shipping Company, the owner, apologized to Mauritius for this incident on the 9th. The Japanese government sent a team of six experts to assist Mauritius in the aftermath.
