BREAKING: #MauritiusOilDisaster 🇲🇺🇯🇵 Japan's #TBS reports that 🇲🇺GoM has demanded 🇯🇵GoJ to pay approx. 3.2 billion yen (1.2 billion MUR) for "漁業支援費" (fisheries assistance cost). Final compensation amount for #Wakashio owner is still to be determined news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/502bf…
This "fisheries assistance cost" will be allocated for the purchase of 100 near-sea fishing boats from 🇯🇵Japan and 🇱🇰Sri Lanka. The economic & ecological damage is still being assessed for full compensation.
CORRECTION: Japanese media has deliberately reported that 🇲🇺GoM has DEMANDED 🇯🇵GoJ to PAY. But in fact it was a REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. Japanese media has falsely reported that GoM is demanding this "assistance cost" as compensation. Japanese public is going furious.
