SEYCHELLES Embraces National Reconciliation


The National Assembly of SEYCHELLES has approved a motion tabled by Leader of the Opposition W. Ramkalawan to create a Committee on National Reconciliation intended to address past wrongs, victimization, political murders of the past since June 5 , 1977 wherein Seychelles entered the One Party State era.

This era brought with it isolationism, internal strife, educational system was turned upside down, alliances were forged with rouge states such as North Korea, Cuba, Communist Vietnam, and Socialist Tanzania. Catholic primary and secondary schools were closed down, and students were offered only State Education. The private bus operators were nationalized, private immovable property was confiscated or acquired in the name of Socialist Redistribution of wealth.

As the strife build up internally, resistance to an unelected government of France Albert Rene grew. After 48 detainees at Union Vale shanty prison dubbed : " Chateau Vallon" were detained for 14 months without charge, many were then exiled to United Kingdom, where a resistance to the dictator France Albert Rene was built up. Numerous coups were planned, many were the back drop for soliciting funds from foolish benefactors. Key politicians of the time benefited from this over seas. But one coup attempt almost worked. Mike Hoare with his band of Rhodesians and South African ,mercenaries, almost succeeded. 

On the home front, France Albert Rene faced down a Military Mutiny, of Seychellois soldiers against Tanzanian occupying officers. He succeeded in quashing them, killing them, those that were not killed, were jailed,The quality of their lives, forever compromised because they opposed Rene. Rene in turn used their presence to demonstrate his might. Look at them, look at those who resist me, look at those who support me. See where they are. The politics of" Ek Nou Pa Ek Nou" was born and took deep roots in SEYCHELLES. En suite, the murders, victimization followed to stamp out resistance.

You Cannot Kill Freedom

Rene try to break the will of his people who opposed him. He failed badly. In 1991, he announced multi party politics for the following year. When he made this announcement, one young party stalwart, fresh off the boat from Cuba said to him:" you tell us to go up the kill, we go. Then you tell us to walk back down and walk in our own shit." Walk in the shit he did, and Rene cunningly invited the resistance overseas, to come back to SEYCHELLES without conditions. As they came back, Rene had new stock of political food to stock for bad times ahead. The economy was flagging. Property values destroyed, hotels in a deplorable state. Seychelles, a Five star destination had a Two star communist product. With the arrival of Freedom loving Seychellois, with their sense of free speech, intellectual know how, the island nation entered a new period of dynamism, which Rene could never have imagined, but he held his fingers on the trigger of AK-47 all along.

Facebook Revolution and Blogs

The suppression of the press, access to media, is a critical component of ruling by FEAR FACTOR. So long as the public does not have information, access to free independent ideas, FEAR FACTOR reigns. With the advent of the Internet, access to information became second nature to the people,of SEYCHELLES. Within a few years, half of the population had become active journalists posting, commenting, editing on Facebook, blogs. A new revolution of information liberty had engulfed the power of the STATE to control access to information, the state had lost control to information dissemination. It was now the people power of information that exposed ideas, murders, victimization, disappearances, and who did what. Fear Factor had been neutralized, the people revolted, sent Le Pep into a minority position in the legislature, while holding on to the Executive Branch by merely a judicial ruling.

Seychelles On Road To Reconciliation

The SEYCHELLES is on the road to reconciliation. It is a welcome move that merit the credit of all sides. What merits demerit, is that it took so long to move in this direction, because two key Le Pep leaders and coup plotters had to be protected: Rene and Michel. Mancham for his part, has been a historical door mat since the advent of multi party democracy.

As word hit the business community of this passing motion, markets were robust and encouraging. Investors were delighted that SEYCHELLES was on the right path.

As markets rocked, murderers and killers had a sleepless week. 
Now they will know what it is like to have sleep less nights.

Congratulations to W. Ramkalawan for giving the speech I have been waiting to hear for over 40 years. 

Congratulations to Honourable Simon Gill for raising your hand in support of the motion....you have come a long way from those early days at the bottom of that mountain.


Stay focused, do the right thing!

Seselwa Pou Seselwa!



May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellios!

Onarab Ramkalawan is serious about reconciliation and forgiveness. It now remains to see how serious Rene, Michel & Co are. The victims can only forgive if the perpetrators accept acknowledge their wrongdoings and seeks forgiveness from the victims. All the intentions from the NA seems good from the surface. I know LDS means business, I sincerely hope PL are serious too. If we humans cannot forgive each other, how can we expect God to forgive us !

My notes correspond to the reality around us.
If Wavel does something that is good we must welcome it. Here he has done something required of him for many years. Better late then never. His hair had to turn white to deal with this issue. Remember, he is the person that derailed national reconciliation, when Mancham tried. I give him credit because it shows how we learn to do the right thing as we grow older. This is wisdom.
I trust President Faure will take the path of wisdom as well. When he does, we will congratulate him as well.
For now, we wait, but ever mindful, power is useless if your people are not at Peace with each other.
Sesel Pou Seselwa!

Now is the best opportunity for us to start unchaining ourselves from the burdens of the past,close the wounds festered to generations and declare to future generations that we will no longer be prisoners of resentments of the past.Now is the right time to say good-bye to animosities.Most importantly,radical improvement in good governance and democracy must begins now not tomorrow.Seychelles today stands at the crossroads.We must march forwards not backward..this is the chance to do so.

In the past 39 years we saw too many chiefs and not enough indians.
Agree The Priest leaned a hard way however he was in the minority,it was impossible for his demands.Now he is a "Wiser Millionaire Priest"
Gill will not cave in LDS demand,I can hear his tone! Even he raised his hand,he might throw his head if you don't pay attention! He is a very unpredictable dude especially when he sees Wavel. Wonder who is the cat and who is the mouse!

well ;Ram is not know only By Mr Gill for his flip floping and stoogery towards Pl and his lack of seriousness.He has proven lack moral values and leadership traits throught the decades as Opposition Leader.... So you can understand that due to his past in actions and flip flopping that makes it is difficult for any Seychellois who has been following RAm for the last decades to simply and over night put their fate in a guy like him.....The fact that he has became a multi multimillionaire without working justified the people^s caution towards RAM ..
The people does not have anything to prove to RAM ,while RAM has everything to prove to the people.
This is his chance to show that he can change and do good for the NAtion after decades of sucking tax money which had make him rich .richer than many hard working Seychellois.

JIMBO did it under pressure from SPPF.

WHY?

He wanted his money back from Chez Richard and Company.

After he did received a large amount in 2009 if my memories is clicking he went on a ladder and spit on the rest.
By De Way did you get some compensation?

THE REST IS HISTORY.

The murder of Mickey Mancham was not involved in the compensation of Chez Richard.
Perhaps Dr. Ferrari and gros Lipey can shed some light on this as we are now under national Reconciliation.

Yes he did get a huge sum of money and DRF approved it.
Actually there is a copy of the amount circling around.

Also circling around is a picture of our International Airport with a leaking roof.
How they fix it? With DUCT TAPE! First I thought it was in Philipine! Amazing! Sesel Sa!

Good afternoon loving Seselwa Down Under and and good day to all citizen of Seychelles.
Yes I can see a better Seychelles on the horizon, it will take time but there is hope ahead.
My family left 30 years ago and that time was a attitude like Si our pas content ou capable allez, avion i la!
So we did,it was really tuff to leave friends and families. We survived, even better.

Ref: Duct Tape by Anonymous 10:04
You are right,Tape all over, on second floor roof, with gutters, with their own vehicles and most of all with the umbrellas and clip boards.
Hope not with their planes. Better rename it as Duct tape Airport.

Faure is proving to us that he is on the verge of following in the footsteps of Michel......He appointed the Daughter of Mason family ..the same family who has created a monopoly and destroying the tourism industry in Seychelles at the helm of SCCI -------his is crooked Faure.....

Have you read the income tax Pl wants to impose on Private businesses .....300 percent higher .........which must be called State organized Robbery........I would prefer PL tax these Foreign big companies their far share ,,,,,instead of being proviligd and creating financial leakage .Reduce dependnecy On EXPAT workers thus reduce fianacial leakage ,That Pl embers to the likes of Mitsy pay their import duty and fee instead of ordering big poluated cars disguise as car for ministry purpose for his son.Investigate all corruption cases perpetruated by Michel ,Glenny ,David savy and make them pay their debts and shares.........
etc..etc..etc..

i said also well done Mr Gill for the positive comment!
For sure Dr Ferrari will have to tell the truth as well.He is responsible for my family to leave....and yes regarding Glenny, David and all....we need to start doing a good cleaning and get them to return what belongs to seselwa and stop manipulating our people.Enough is enough!!
If Mr Faure is playing with words, i think he should think twice this time.
Once we get the truth then we will all move on and our country is small we can do it if we are all sincere.
thank you and I want to come back to my country as well.

Dr. Farrari has a lot of explaining.
I have been told by a nurse at the hospital he handled my father Mickey Mancham and ensuing death. This lady was in tears when she recounted to me what happen according to her.
My step father Peter Gill who was a brilliant Seychellois creole started the export fish business. His company was name Le Bon Poison.
Dr. Farrari acquired this business, drove this hard working man to financial collapse. He was left with no other option then to try his luck in a foreign country, USA. Ferrari he told me always, was a very jealous and vindictive man. This DNA he passes on to another generation, until he apologizes to us and this country.
Lenin said- " terror (fear) is necessary to sterilize a society of its opponents". This is what we went through in Seychelles. Any one, with an opposing view, a better idea , was told to leave, or be murdered. Today's, many little Lenins exist all around us. Look around you, you will see the attitudes prevailing and this sickness, as healthy as ever.
When I pray each Sunday, I pray for those who have hurt all Seychellois. I pray for myself as well, because I need prayers to temper my soul, that I too can find peace, for Peacd ought not to belong to only the dead, but we too, the living deserve Peace.

Sesel Pou Seselwa!
