To follow up from Taivo, it comes from here:
http://www.lalitmauritius.com/news.asp?newsid=496
And thus is in the French creole of Mauritius, which according to the CIA doesn't have a particular name except 'Creole':
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/mp.html
It's clearly about an election. It appears to be LALIT's (the organisation behind the webpage) position on the topic of electronic voting machines. The article is from 13 December 2004. My guess, from trying to pick out the words, is that it's about corruption with the EVM during a Mauritius election. If you post this on fr.answers.yahoo.com more people may be able to help you.

It is one of the twenty or so English-based Creoles in the world. It is not Neo-Melanesian (Tok Pisin from New Guinea). Besides that, I'm not sure which one. Something says I want to guess Torres Strait Creole from Queensland, but that's just a guess. I see a bit of French influence here, so it's more likely a Caribbean or West African Creole. Maybe Cameroon Creole.
EDIT: I should wake up before I answer questions. LOL. This isn't an English-based Creole, I was fooled by some of the bigger words. This is one of the dozen or so French-based Creoles. Most of them are in the Caribbean or West Africa.

many of the words do phoenetically look french. the man who said that it was creole is probably correct. if you took the text from a website, dont forget that native speakers use abbreviations and mannerisms that make typing quicker. Some of the words might also seem less translatable because they are proper nouns. "parfwa" would be pronounced the same as "pourfois" if it was french. unfortunately, plugging something like this into babel fish probably wont work.
