There is really no wars or fight going on here mate, it's the real definition of peace I can say!
The island is in fact not so small, it's a big island with over 1.3 million inhabitants. I understand that you were bored on an island you stayed, which one was it>

Here it is different in Mauritius, it's like in a big city.
