Mauritius reels from worst riots in decades after woman shot by police

Mauritius is experiencing its worst riots in decades following the shooting of a woman by police officers. The unrest, which has persisted for days across the island nation, initially erupted in response to ongoing water shortages before escalating into widespread violence.

In direct response to the escalating civil unrest, Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam has implemented a strict national curfew to restore order and curb the ongoing disturbances.
