...smuggled Red Chinese weapons sweep sleepy Port Louis, but so far nothing has been proved. Berenger, who holds a degree in philosophy from the University College of North Wales in Bangor and is a veteran of the Paris street riots of May 1968, openly admits that he wants to overthrow the present Mauritian government. The M.M.M. claims about 10,000 hard-core members, but its program has wide appeal to the island's young and unemployed, who still number...

...clearest general guides to handling civil disorders is that of the U.S. Army. It places "full firepower" at the end of six escalating levels of force to be employed in riot situations -and then only when failure to use it would lead to the "imminent overthrow of the Government, continued mass casualties, or similar grievous conditions."
