ADDIS ABABA - Thousands of protesters demonstrated in the Mauritius capital Port Louis on Saturday to demand an investigation into an oil spill from a Japanese ship and the mysterious death of at least 40 dolphins that have been found near the site of the spill.
One protestor held a banner with a dolphin covered in oil reading"our lives matter" and another held one calling for the government to resign. Mauritian flags were waved across the packed square of St Louis Cathedral. The government has said it will carry out autopsies on all the dead dolphins and has set up a commission to look into the oil spill. Two investigations are being carried out: one by the police on the crew's responsibilities and one by a senior Shipping Ministry official on what happened to the ship.
