The government claims that online platforms pose a threat to national security, so access will be temporarily suspended.

Writes UNN with reference to Reuters.

The government of Mauritius has ordered all Internet service providers to block access to social media ahead of the elections. According to the Prime Minister of the African archipelago, Praveen Kumar Jugnauth, online platforms pose a threat to national security after many wiretapped conversations were leaked in recent weeks.

On November 10, parliamentary elections will be held in Mauritius, and Jugnauth will try to maintain his party's absolute majority.

The Indian Ocean island nation's telecommunications regulator promises that approximately 1.4 million residents will be able to use social media again on November 11.

Britain has agreed to transfer sovereignty over the Chagos archipelago to Mauritius after decades of negotiations. The US military base on Diego Garcia will remain, and Mauritius will be able to launch a resettlement program on other islands.
