St. Ange Brings Turkish Airlines To Seychelles!


Representatives of Turkish Airlines are in Seychelles holding meetings with relevant authorities ahead of the start of they new service to the islands at the end of September this year.  Fatih Mehmet Kursun, their General Manager for Mauritius, Madagascar and now Seychelles accompanied by Dr. Taner Erim, the Manager International Relations and Agreements for Middle East and Africa and Yakup Gozubuyuk, their Expert for International Relations and Agreements for Middle East and Africa paid a courtesy call on Minister Alain St.Ange, the Seychelles Minister responsible for Tourism and Culture at the Ministry's ESPACE Offices in Victoria.

Discussions that centered on the arrival date of the airline's first flight to Seychelles at the end of September was also the opportunity for Turkish Airline to review their target source markets for Seychelles as well as conditions presented to them for their operation in Seychelles. Present also at the meeting was Sherin Naiken, the CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board who confirmed to the Turkish Airline delegation that their marketing and sales people were already actively working with the Tourism Board in countries already identified as target markets for Seychelles.

Turkish Airlines are launching their Seychelles service with three flights and are hoping to increase the number of flights to the islands in the near future. "We are happy to see the arrival of Turkish Airline to our shores. We are a mid-ocean tourism destination that remains dependent of adequate air access to make our tourism industry work" Minister St.Ange said as he was presented with a replica model of the plane that will be on the Seychelles route from the end of September this year.

This move may just save Seychelles in the 3 rd quarter.
It could had done wonders for us over the years.
But someone was blocking Turkish Airlines from coming to Seychelles.
When you get a major airline like this, backed by crazy money - don't block it, go for it!

Three flights a week.
260 passengers per flight
780 seats available per week.
3120 seats per month extra capacity from Europe.
37440 seats per year....... Option for additional flights daily if DEMAND exist.
This is a GOLDEN Ticket for Seychelles.......PLUS
Increase CARGO capacity to and from EUROPE.
Excellent job St. Ange. Who can critic this.
The move frees Air Seychelles to now focus on the lucrative Paris market and Exponential CHINA market, where the sky is the limit.

Condor will add another flight per week as well from September.
Qatar is running three flights a week and re- establishing service.
This has been a result of St. Ange responding to demands of the TRADE and literally going to these companies on his knees begging for Seychelles.
This Minister works. He works hard for Seychelles.
He does not work on excuses.
We should all recognize his contribution.
Those of you in SNP playing your tribal politics and remaining vindictive towards St. Ange, you have only yourselves to blame. Because you stayed silent when you should have raised a voice.

Ok, when LDS takes over we will consider allowing St Ange to continue as Minister because we do not have the attitude of ek nou pa ek nou. LDS attitude is The Best Seychellois for the job and the best remuneration to keep the Seychellois interested, motivated and valued. An LDS majority in the assembly will ensure the government is lean, efficient and effective. We have a lot of catching up to do - with LDS we will get there sooner and quicker with the right results to benefit Seselwa instead of the large foreign hotel owners. Well done Mr St Ange for rescuing our tourism industry after 3 full decades of mismanagement and paying lip service by the Rene government. You have done a great job, you have been a visionary, long may it continue.

Before LDS takes over anything, it's leader needs to bury his arrogance.
If he keeps that as his top hat, he will never take over anything.

All 'LEADERS' have come to realise that the label 'Arrogant Leader' aimed at Father is a perception. We can only give Father Wavel a chance to lead with his team of LDS Leaders. Time will tell if Father is up to it. Should Father fail us we will VOTE him out.

So far we have 2 main parties, PL & LDS. There are other parties such as SPM and banned Martin Aglae (no Valid party name), but they are just distractions and have been introduce to cause confusion. I have supported SPPF/PL for the pas 35 years...They have manipulated me and have been 'good' to me materially - unfortunately, they have failed the whole Nation. I have come to realise how they operate. They are very smart at blackmailing to keep a grip on power. I feel very ashamed to have been associated with SPPF/SPUP/PL..... Hopefully Father Ramkalawan will lead ALL Seychellois/se to a bright future in spite of you two having your personal differences.

Anonymous said...

Arrogance is not a perception it is a fact . Similarly, the numerous fraud cases he has committed are fact not perception.
LDS has a lot of potential we have called for unity of the opposition for a long time.
Unfortunately, Ramkalawan is too arrogant to lead this humble country any where.
Therefore, we will go in circles. It is his arrogance that commits him to Fraud and he feels ok with it.
Simple,
All the support he enjoys he will convert it to lollipops when these " Leaders" turn their backs for a second.
It is a sad and pathetic stalemate for Seychelles. We will waste another 5 years.

Ramkalawan has forgiven JAM publicly at the LDS rally yesterday. Can you not find it in you to draw a line, forgive, unite and move forward for the sake of a united Seychelles. Once RAM is forgiven, we will expect him to behave like a statesman. I will be the first one to call for his removal / resignation if he does not change his attitude.

Anonymous said...

Start calling for his removal because - 1. Ramkalawan remains arrogant, and self interested, focused on financial opportunities politics brings, not seeking a better condition for our people, one and all, 2 Ramkalawan has no right to forgive Michel for anything.
James Michel has not sought forgiveness from any one for any thing.
It is time we stop the sophistry in the opposition and speak frankly and earnestly.
It is time we stop fooling the Public and frustrating the affairs of state and risking our economy and enhancing greater loss on our people.
We want a better life as Seychellois. We are tired of betting the lives of just politicians that take our hopes, dreams, suffering, pains and convert them into their own ROI- Return on Investment.

Read my post at 2:20.... Ponder over the words I suggested. Forgive and move on. If RAM does not behave whilst in power, he will not last 39 months - never mind 39 YEARS. The ball is now in your court to move on or get stuck in the present/past ! I used to be as stubborn like you until December just gone when I decided to throw my weight behind LDS for the sake of Seychelles & all Seychellois. It will be easier to remove RAM & LDS if they fail to keep to their words and promises they have made to US.

Anonymous said...

Now read my words carefully.
We can support LDS, this is not an issue.
We do not have to support a worm for a leader.
A worm that slices to the lowest depths wherein the ply of evil dwells.
It is impossible for any Seychellois who loves Seychelles, and believes in the sacred founding principle of " Sesel Pou Seselwa" to support Ramkalawan as a leader in politics in Seychelles today after December.

It is Ramkalawan we learnt from court judgment who wrote to the Tamils promising them seats in government, promising them Tamil as an official language, and promising a Tamil National Day in Seychelles. This is treason. He has betrayed the scared principle of Sesel Pou Seselwa while in opposition. We do not have to wait for 39 months to see Ramkalawan betray us once more. SPPF Pl can pardon him, because it is convenient to them. The Fabrike judges can pardon him. Dismiss his case, because it is convenient to them.

Any one who loves Seychelles and believes in Sesel Pou Seselwa, needs to hold Ramkalawan accountable, no different then you would hold any one else. He is a traitor to Seychelles.

His arrogance permits him to betray Seychelles. Your silence perpetuates the Fraud, he bathes in so comfortably.

An exchange of opinion and ideas on a " leader" of a political party is not an argument.
If we reduce our ideas and opinions to the level of argument, then we fail each other.
If we fail each other, we then fail our country.
What is before us is of historical magnitude. For our. People, for our country, we must get it right!
At times, getting things right can be uncomfortable.
This is such a situation.
We have a leader of a opposition party, who has done the ultimate betrayal- of his people, he profess to represent and wishes to set them free.
He has offered to dis empower his own people, empower the Tamil Indian Communtiy, basically give away our country for a fee pieces of gold in the form of election donations and a few votes.
This is fundamentally offensive. It is unacceptable. I place my life in the way ward of this disgrace.

Ok, we shall carry on discussing and not argue !

The problem with us nowadays, we will find every possible opportunity to twist words and writings around to discredit achieve our own agenda.

This seems to be the case with the famous 'tamil latter'. There is nothing wrong or offensive with the 'tamil letter' if it is taken at face value and understood in the spirit it was meant. ie Tamils/Chinese/Arabs/Aliens....have the same opportunities in Seychelles as long as they are bonafide Seselwa.... They can be a Racine/Importe - as long as they are not fake and have obtained their citizenship above board. RAM did not guarantee high positions to anyone - but he guaranteed the opportunities would be there subject to their abilities .... RAM suggestion is much better than the current situation of 'ek nou, pa ek nou'. You know full well that all the 'ek nou' does not have the mental capacity to run and guide this country. I would say the mental capacity is surely lacking in PL. You could practically count on one hand how many qualified people are there within the PL government. On the other hand we have a solid team of LDS professionals who have worked very hard to make a real difference. LDS have managed to UNITE whilst PL are trying all the tricks in the books to DIVIDE & RULE. to be continued.....

rather than focus on RAMs letter to the Tamils, why don't you focus on the Sermon he delivered live over Radio Sebel back in the days. Why don't you focus on the 3rd October when he was clubbed by toto macoutte...Why don't you focus on the last 2 decades of his life that he has dedicated to the struggle of freedom. My friend Mr Gill, we are all humans, me included. We will never be perfect, we will never be angels. HOWEVER, a little word of advise, focus on good and you will reap good benefit. Focus on negatives and you will have headaches.... You are a bright man Mr Gill - I hope my little advise on being positive will will help you a long way. Be Positive, Look at the glass had full rather than half empty. Vote Bien - Vote LDS (NOT LSD)

-ALL boat onwers ,,posssing a baot larger than 10 memters ,,be it private oor else must be made to hold a skipper license like it is done in western world ..to avoid accidents etc .......

That all fishing baots that go days ,weeks long fishing should be made equipped with GPS system ..and anyone not equipped should be help3ed or sanctions --we cannot allow baby sit adults ,thy must be made responsible...

1:22..... Unfortunately or fortunately, whatever the case may be.... we are a very young and small nation. Seychelles were only (officially) inhabited by a settlement from 1770 onwards... Everyone who have arrived and continue to arrive in Seychelles are still stamping their identity in some way or other. I am not sure how old you are; if you go back 50 years we did not have a Hindu Temple, Bahai Temple, Mosque etc... we have evolved and we will carry on to evolve. What is the real traditional Seselwa way of life... are you advocating we stick to Kalou - Bacca instead of fine wine ! My friend we have to accept that Seychelles is very unique and multicultural. We cannot expect the Muslims to partake in our alcohol drinking habits, nor can we expect Hindus to join us for a beef steak. We should learn to have mutual respect and tolerance. This is the Seychelles I used to know..we used to respect and tolerate our difference whilst loving our neighbourhood and our SEYCHELLES.

The essence of childhood is lack of accountability for the actions of a child. I child can make a mistake, he/ she will not be responsible under the law for his/ her actions. This is a condition of minority. As adults, we are all responsible for our actions. A sign of responsibility, is embracing ones actions, and not passing them off as benign when in fact, they hurt others.
Rams letter to the Tamils did not provide mere opportunity to Tamils. Tamils under PL enjoy more opportunities then bonafide Seselwa
Rasin. Tamils run shops, change money, own construction companies, and they are the fastest growing immigrant group. They now seek political influence and power in our country, while retaining citizenship with India.

The Tamil letter written by Ram highlighted Ram' s intellectual racism and preference for Tamils. He offered them- 1. Seats in Consul of Ministers, 2. Making Tamil a Fourth Official language, which will require constitutional amendment and usurpation, materially altering what is Seychelles as defined by the Founding Fathers and the Preamble of the Constitution, 3. Create a Tamil National Holiday, which is contrary to the Constitution and our very national identity as a Seychellois.

Because PL team lack intelligent people, does not give Ram the right as a politician to offer Posts to Tamils. Is Ram and yourself saying we Seychellois who are not PL, are incapable, and not intelligent. Is this what you and a Ram are insinuating? While we are all imperfect, I cannot agree with you more. However, imperfection is not a justifiable reason to attempt to sell our patrimony to the Tamils for thirty pieces of silver from the money changer, before an election, and a stoke at power for 39 months as you put it.
What is more outrageous , is RAM has told the judges that he found nothing wrong with this letter and attempt at political bribe and Cohersion towards/ in conspiracy with the Tamils Indian Community.
Ram should run for office in Kerla. If you love your country, you should ask him to simply resign from politics and do the decent thing .
This solicitation by RAM is nothing short of a disgrace. This is the good in this bad act.
Have you ever ask why the PL have not address this issue much?
They do not address it because they like RAM right where he is. He is their chosen opponent, and they know they can make a deal with him. Any time, as he eloquently demonstrated, with his dirty deal with the Tamils.

Now now Mr Gill, RAM did not promise that much to the Tamil. He just explained they had the same chance as everyone else. Its pointless arguing when the facts are black and white. I get the feeling that you may be part of the Volcere, Francourt & Aglae group hence you hanging on to the Tamil issue like a dog with a bone ! I had already forgiven you for crossing the floor, but I am having my doubts now.

Indeed the facts are clear. The letter is clear.
It is specific.
You sound like you belong to PL yourself, ignoring the facts, then you place that on me.
I don't belong to SPAM or Volcere. The insinuation is another PL mentality you demonstrate by imputing association because I raise a valid point which you cannot reply to.
It is this type of mentality that screwed up Seychelles in the Rene era, and people like yourself remained silent, as the Tamils moved in slowly to replaced those of us exiled, those of us who lost our land, lost our business, lost our lives, our families. Then we had to rebuild, in an entire generation, we rebuild with pain, while people who think like you enjoyed life casually, insinuating things about others without facts, fomenting a politic of division, not based on facts. The letter speaks for itself. I will load it for you to clean your pot yourself.
It is not a bone. It is a fact. There are others. This is only one issue.

The sad thing about your comments is you cannot even place your name to it.

Please Mr Gill, go ahead and load the ORIGINAL 'Tamil Letter' with its translation. I will comment on each and every sentence declared on this famous letter. Like I said previously, rather than focus on twisting the Tamil Letter, why not focus on the good that Father Ramkalawan has done for us to get LDS where it is today.

By the way I am not a fan of FAR for my obvious reasons. To this day Seychelles is suffering because of 5th June 1977. However, in spite of all these, FAR has done some good and we need to acknowledge the good he has done and reject the bad and evil he advocated during his time. All I am asking you to do is be fair to RAM and acknowledge the good he has done, acknowledge the suffering he has gone through and of course reject his bad points and move on. Do not get stuck in the past.

Unfortunately, you are way way off the mark NOT associating me with those exiled, lost land, business and beloved families. Yes, I agree it is very sad that I cannot place my name for you to identify me. I am just someone who follows and observe Seychelles Political scene from a distance. I form my own opinion reading all the posts, blogs, newspapers and talking to people I know on the ground. I do my best to align myself with Fairness, Justice, Freedom & Respect.

The impugned leaflet



The leaflet reads:
“Beloved Tamil hearts you are more than my life and I, Ramkalawan who likes you all write this note to you.

There is a strong rumour that I will send all Tamil people out of this country and it is a wrong message and I completely deny as rumour.



My grandfather hailed from the State of Uttara Pradesh in India who migrated and settled in Seychelles.

While I was a religious preacher and as an Opposition Leader I have participated in all wedding ceremonies, birthday functions and funerals of all Tamil origin and I participated with my full heart; I prayed God with my full hearty and Blessed all.

I merge myself and live together with Indians and Tamils.

If all of you join together and make me as President, I shall declare Deepavali as Government holiday.

Those who are eligible from Tamil and Indian origins will be suitably placed positions in my cabinet; principal secretaries.

To flourish all trades of the trading community, my government shall do the necessary and I rule accordingly.

All suitable consultations shall be made and resolve those stumbling blocks amongst small traders.

My Government shall find a solution to VAT very soon.

Those of you brothers who are afraid of this party in power since last 38 years need to join together now and support my arm; I will be one amongst you when I rule this country.

If I come to power, suitable tax concession arrangements shall be made for those people whose income remain less than Rupees 10,000.00.

Laws of GOP and Immigration will be simplified.

My government shall ensure that Seychelles Rupees is not devalued.

My Government shall take suitable and necessary steps to develop the religions, language and race of all Indians and Tamils.

A time slot will be allocated to Tamils in Television and Radio (video and audio).

While recognizing those long serving Indians and Tamils in Government service, I shall streamline the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education;

If we come to power, our government shall not disturb those private employers in employment sector and never disturb at any time;

To improve the economy of Seychelles (country) we shall do all the necessary infrastructure.

The above are not just words with decorations I request all of you to support me and other parties who join me and I humbly request you to do so.

You should also be instrumental for this country to have a good rule flourishing like a flower.

SUPPORT RAMAKALAWAN AND MAKE HIM VICTORIOUS .”

I cannot see where it says Tamil will be an official language or Tamil national Holiday. All he said that Deewali will be made a holiday and they will be given a time slot on the radio. If the catholic, 7th day adventist bahai and other religions get a slot on the radio why cannot the tamils that are Hindu get a time slot. If christmas is a holiday why can Deewali not be made a holiday. Seychelles is a multicultural, multi religious society. It does not belong to the christian church.

“Beloved Tamil hearts you are more than my life and I, Ramkalawan who likes you all write this note to you. I don’t see any problem with this declaration.

RAM has not said he loves the TAMIL more than the Christians, Bahai, Muslims etc….

There is a strong rumour that I will send all Tamil people out of this country and it is a wrong message and I completely deny as rumour.

Ram is only explaining that contrary to rumours, he will not be sending Tamils back to India on winning the election. What is wrong with that…..?



My grandfather hailed from the State of Uttara Pradesh in India who migrated and settled in Seychelles.

What is wrong with acknowledging your grandfathers origin, unless he is lying. I cannot verify if his grandfather came from India. However looking at RAM, he looks to have traits of Indian in him the same way I would say Mr Gill has traits of Indian in him as well. (But my opinion may be wrong or it may be correct, only God knows).

While I was a religious preacher and as an Opposition Leader I have participated in all wedding ceremonies, birthday functions and funerals of all Tamil origin and I participated with my full heart; I prayed God with my full hearty and Blessed all.

Surely it is not an offence to partake in such ceremonies and celebrations.

I merge myself and live together with Indians and Tamils.

Oli Problem la ?

If all of you join together and make me as President, I shall declare Deepavali as Government holiday. Oli Problem,

Muslims have such priviledge when its their Christmas or IDD. (I can post proof that Muslims are currently allowed time off under this present Government) Surely, this must be extended to Hindus/ Tamils/ Bahai etc....


Those who are eligible from Tamil and Indian origins will be suitably placed positions in my cabinet; principal secretaries. He did not propose ek nou pa ek nou to join his cabinet.

What is wrong with qualified Seselwa with Tamil Origin joining the Cabinet. We used to have Honourable Chamry Chetty as our finance Minister back in the days. Oli Problem

To flourish all trades of the trading community, my government shall do the necessary and I rule accordingly.

I am not sure what this sentence means so I cannot give a fair opinion. Maybe if Mr RAM can interject to explain himself further on this point.

All suitable consultations shall be made and resolve those stumbling blocks amongst small traders.

Oli problem dialoging with businessman of Tamil Origin who controls 95%+ of our small village shops and larger convenience stores ?

My Government shall find a solution to VAT very soon.

Oli Problem ?

Would you rather he penned off “SUPPORT MICHEL & WE SHALL CARRY ON IN DARKESS FOREVER”

Mr Gill this is my take on this famous ‘Tamil Letter’ Let us move forward and not waste our time on this. We have wasted almost 4 decades under a one party state. Let us all come together for a better Seychelles. I respect a lo of your views, the same way I respect a lot of RAM’s views. There are some of yours and RAMs views that I do not support as well, but they are not ‘show stoppers’ ! I hope you will read the above in the spirit of fairness and unity. Hopefully we can meet soon for a one to one mature discussion.

IO show an article on NATION today ......entitled ..Celelbrating the first five indains who were brought to Seychelles by the first French settelrs in 1770.
I am disturb by this article because firstly Onezime tries to demonized our history by wirrting that (the first inhabitants of Seychelles were SEVEN SLAVES ,and five indains).We all learnt in school thzat the first sdettlers in Seychelles wwere * French and over 1000 salves...

2)the five indainssince set foot on Seychelles soil in 177070 .nearly 4 centuries ago ...had long no contact ,connection with their indain families in india ...nor do they speak hindi ,,and had became 100 percent Seychellois .....
2)in the Seychellois culture ...ethnicity was never an issue ,for th majority of seychellsoi are a breed made up of a mixture of white ,African indain ..thus we donot identifiy ourselves with any wethnic groups from anywhere.

3)None of the decents of th3ese five indains ever ask Pl nor indain ambassador to use their story to create fake clelbrate of ethnicity ,,in roder to artificially promote ethnicity groups in our country like in india..

It is true that since Michel came to power ..he has been abusing our national medias to artificially< promote indains invasion of our country ,,with tamil tigers ,paksitanis ...in an attempt to artificially create ethnic groups in our land ..so that in a the future we could be faced with ethnic conflicts like we see in indai ,Sir lanka and elsewjhere


Nor did any family members of the five indains ever ask pl or indian ambassador to celebrate anything in their names --$
Nor were they present on PL/indain ambassador faked celebration...
The fact is ,,since Michel too koffice ,,,there are more ifake indain /Seychelles celebration than Seychellois won celebrtation such as Bais ste anne Pralin religious feast who was before coup detat the most popular feadt before Assumption on la Digue and the regatta on Mahe ,,Communism destroyed it...
Now pl is trying to replace Seychellois genuine feasts ,celebration by fakes ones ..like tamil tiger hindu religious procession...some even want to make their language ,culture etc which have nothing to do with Seychellois ..as national events ....

we must stop pl and their colonizators now.

PlMichgel has been trying to artificially create ethnic groups in o our country to divide us .modify our nation......

Seychelles has been a melting pot for centuries. It is not an ethnic grouping society. If you follow Ramkalawan disgraceful suggestions in the letter to the Tamils- soone we will have a Filipino national day, a Nepal National day. They will enjoy seats in parliament, accelerated Immigratikn process for their families, special protections to flourish when they do not need it.
This is a disgraceful letter that shows Ramkalawan will take power at all cost. We must prevent him at all cost.
I support LDS today. But I have serious reservations about Ramkalawan playing any role in our politics any further .
It is time to go father. Tend to your religious flock and leave politics to more ethical and dignified people.
Today LDS should be led by Philippe Boulle . No one else is better qualified.

You will see.

Our Almighty has created us in different races, colour, ethnicity, build etc in order for us to recognise His unparalleled power. It is unfortunate, that as a Seselwa nation we used to accept this and respect others values and cultures. We can all be Seselwa from different origins and cultures.....why can we not accept this. Why do we want to try and impose our way of eating and drinking on say a Seselwa Muslim or Hindu........ Why should we get them to change and start drinking alcohol and beef ? We should respect their culture and they should be tolerant to our style as well. Somehow I get the feeling that there is an underurrent trying to engineer and impose the NWO upon us !

You sound like you wear your pants inside out.
From what point of departure do we stand?
Are we a Nation?
Are we an independent and unique people?
Do we have a distinctive identity different from all the countries of Africa, different from all of Asia, different from all of Europe?
Answer those questions and then you can answer your own inside out question.
It is for Seychellois themselves to decide what they want to eat, what they want to believe in, and what to wear.
It is not for inward arrivals and Fabrikes like the Tamils who keep a sectoral identity and do not integrate with us to tell us what to believe in, what to eat, what light to turn on and turn off.
What Ramkalawan has done is ignite a sectoral flame that never existed in Seychelles.
Yes my grandfather was Tamil.
Yes my great grand mother as French.
But I am neither French or Tamil.
I am a proud Seychellois, who will defend my country, defend my patrimony and will not lower myself and my country for a few pieces of disgraceful silver.

Sesel Shall Remain Pou Seselwa!

Ramkalwan deserves a good Tamil spanking with a bamboo came.

You want to compare Tiny micro speck Seychelles to the USA,, the richest country in the World?
Are you nuts?
In Seychelles in the dry season we do not even have water to bathe our Rasin Children.
We suffer from load shedding if we use the electricity at the same time.
India is worlds largest population. Give them a visa, fast track their passports as Ramkalawan says .
India is a global power. They are a huge and great Narion. We must work with India when we can, but there must be mutual respect for who we are and what we are.
On the India National a day, only citizens, and descendants were invited to India Flag raising. Did they invite you? No.
They highlighted their national identity and they were proud of it, and showed they will fight to preserve who they are.
Why don't you fight to preserve who you are, instead of defending a bozo like Ramkalawan where he cannot be defended.
I am speechless sometimes at how stupid people can be in Seychelles.
Comparing Seychelles situation to the USA.

SESEL POU SESELWA- Christopher Gill said it!

Mr Gill, when it comes to personal morals and principles we can compare ourselves to anyone, be it America (who incidentally are one of the most ignorant population on this planet). Basically, we all eat and talk with our mouths, be it Seselwa, Indians or Americans. HOWEVER, we cannot compare our landmass with the USA. So let us compare apples with apples and jeanmalak with jeanmalak. We cannot compare jeanmalak with apples !

And to 6.55, I cannot understand where your Man Gill in bez moin. I am quite enjoying having a a civilised discussion with Mr Gill. I hope Mr Gill sees it this way from his side too.

Perhaps you misunderstand the root of my protest.
Allow me to highlight the deeper thoughtful points you seem to misunderstand.
The Ram Letter To Tamil is offensive because Ram offers special treatment to Tamils based on a sectorial classification.
This is similar to the way Seychelles was run under colonial French Administration. White French Administers from Ile De France were given hundreds. Thousands of acres of land to develop with permission to import slaves to labor. This sectorial preference system is how Seychelles was founded as a colony.
From time to time, sectorial groups in Seychelles have tried to impose this type of thinking. You will recall the Planters Association who fought against the Right to Universal Sufferage. They wanted land owners only to have the Right to Vote in Seychelles.
Our move for Independence ( SPUP) and the move to Free Association ( Democratic Party) with UK was fought Seychellois Right To Vote was granted, and the Seychellois people embarked on a march of Self Determination once and for all, by hook, or by crook.
On June 29 th, 1976, we became a Self Determined Micro Nation State. It is only on this date that we could say legally- a Seychellois people existed.
This Right To Self Determination is a UN Human Charter human right, which is usurped by Ramkalawans Letter to Tamils offering them power, national day, in exchange for their support, and worse, for an Anglican Priest, offering to run his government under the laws of Tamil God : " RAM" and to run his administration under the principles of Ram a Tamil deity.. You neglected to include this in your post, which demonstrates intellectual: DISHONESTY and political opportunism at the expense of defending Seychellois Self Determination. It is for this reason that your defense, and RAM's assertions are a NATIONAL DISGRACE.

Sesel Pou Seselwa! Believe it! live It!

" If elected by your Tamil support and love, I promise to run the government and my administration by the virtues and laws of Tamil God Rama" .

Do you have a reasonable, moral explanation for this before I post this disgraceful letter unedited as you did?

Sesel Pou Seselwa!

Mr Gill, I asked you to post the original letter for me to comment on each and every sentence. I did not post the 'original letter' . I thought it was you who posted it. Nevertheless, I commented on each and every sentence to what appeared on this blog. Now you are asking me to comment on a specific sentence which I did not come across previously. I will quote this sentence that you are referring to for clarity:

" If elected by your Tamil support and love, I promise to run the government and my administration by the virtues and laws of Tamil God Rama" .

If he did write this, we will have to reconcile the virtues and laws of Tamil God Ram to see if it fits in 100% with our laws. If it does reconcile 100% with our laws then, oli problem.

If the above sentence was indeed in the original letter distributed to the Tamils Seselwa, and it fails to reconcile with our laws by .00001%, then we ought to seek clarification to understand RAMs thinking behind this.

We have to carry out full investigation and due diligence before jumping to conclusion. A well read and educated Seselwa Racine like you would surely accept this proposal ! 1.22

Mr Gill, I hope to see you at GAP this afternoon. I will be wearing a yellow LDS T-Shirt, Blue Shorts, Cowboy Hat. Hope to meet you in person for a good discussion. 1.22

So I did not see you at the LDS Rally in GAP.

Now, you know the famous saying 'when there is no wine, we will settle for water'. We find ourselves in this situation when you think LDS should be headed by Mr Boulle, who I will describe as our 'WINE' . Most of the opposition, as it was during November/December 2015 wanted Mr Ramkalawan, whom I will describe as our 'WATER'. It goes to show that we will have to accept WATER instead of WINE on this occasion. Hopefully you get my drift.

We can have a 3rd option which is worst than the above 2, it is called 'URINE' or 'PISAR' in creole. So, rather than keep chasing our tail, let us not delay the LDS win, when we can start drinking water instead of the current consumption of 'PISAR' from the existing PL lot in the National Assembly. 1.22

Any one other then Ramkalawan in the leadership group is better after this Tamil letter.
This is our wine and water packed in the right flask that does not leak for the people of Seychelles.
In December we voted for Ramkalawan not because we wanted him. We gave him a chance, and we did not know about the Tamil Letter.
Now we do.
We know now the flask leaks, with Ramkalawan we will lose wine, water, any thing we put into this old worn out flask.
It is time we give someone else a chance to move the envelope forward. Hence I suggestion another leader in the group.
I see viable contenders principally are- 1 Pillay, 2. Boulle.
The change will bring on board, opposition who do not trust Ramkalawan as leader, as myself, and bring on board PL willing to move, but do not trust Ramkalawan.
We all know, we have good reason not to trust Ramkalawan, without airing all the dirty laundry.
The reference to pisar is inappropriate language coming from a leader, which makes my point again.
