Many army officers say they are unhappy about James Michel policy of allowing Arabs to have a free hand in Seychelles. They say that they pledge to defend the motherland from all foreign forces and James Michel the President has allowed Arabs a free hand with perks, privileges,tax free status.
This group of officers believe in the principle of Sesel Pou Seselwa, and feel the principle has been sabotaged by James Michel of financial expediency in the face of an economic collapse in 2008, and subsequent IMF Reform.
The other group is made up of Michel Loyalist who believe they must serve the Commander in chief at all cost, even if it means breaking the sacred principle of Sesel Pou Seselwa and turning a eye to the increasing presence of Arab (UAE) influence in Seychelles internal affairs.
The situation is growing tense.
Only this week it was reported that a high profile embassy in Seychelles, alerted the government of James Michel to an imminent coup on the occasion of Carnival.
SPDF forces were mobilized, and rumors of a ship entering Seychelles waters with heavy loads of arms and weapons was rife across the country.
Panic set in and many stayed away from Carnival.
Michel Has Run Out of a Terms
James Michel says he has served two terms and the first one belong to Rene. When Rene " pas Baton" it was Rene ' term of office. Mr. Michel will have a tough time convincing even the soldiers that support him of this argument, as the President in Burundi has used the same argument to steal another term in violation of the Constitution there.
Mr. Michel, do not take Seychelles down the road to Burundi. Hang your hat, call it a day, let the younger more energetic generation build Seychelles. You and Mancham are both expired political goods.
Old lions never know when they have teeth problems until they are all missing.
Sesel Pou Seselwa!
May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellois!
