Protest in Mauritius over oil spill, dozens of dead dolphins

Al Jazeera, 30 Aug 2020
Hundreds of people are protesting in the capital of Mauritius over the government's handling of an oil spill from a grounded Japanese ship and the alarming discovery of dozens of dead dolphins in recent days.
More than 1,000 tonnes spilled out when a Japanese ship struck a coral reef in July.
The Indian Ocean island nation depends heavily on tourism, and the spill has been a severe blow on top of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, which has restricted international travel.
