Seychellois Overseas Still Cannot Vote!

The Electoral  reforms passed with much fan fare by the SNP and SUP. They did press conference along side PL and presented a document called : Electroal Reform Recommendations.

The Seychelles Freedom Party ( SFP) demanded that Seychellois citizens overseas be given the Right to Vote. The premise for this demand rests squarely under the Treaty of the Universal Human Rights Charter, which Seychelles signed right after the 3 rd Rublic Constitution was passed by Refersndum.

This demand caused great division in the opposition. SNP remained silent, let the provision slide into the abyss. It's leader Wavel Ramkalawan, carpet traded this provision in tea breaks with  Simon Gill his close friend in PL. On one occasion we saw them slapping each other's back in the car park, and laughing. I immediately thought, Seychellois Right To  Vote was being swapped for something. Sure enough, the Right To vote has been ignored. Not one political entity, today, is speaking about this issue. Ask yourself why?

Sesel Pou Seselwa!

May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellois!

FOR OUR FALLEN HEROES

--------------------------------------- The rivers that flow through my land are stained by the blood of our martyrs The majestic mountains that overlook our islands Are dotted with birds whose wings flap as light as a zephyr For they are the birds that carry the message The message to our youth, heralded from a different age I greet the radiant morning sun That shines on our fertile valleys But i am naked and i am on the run I hide behind the walls and in the alleyways of tears For i am dead, and i am the one who was slain By the evil jackals and hyenas you so perversely trained Each flower that falls from our regal flamboyant tree Represents the blood that you spilled so copiously In the drains of Victoria and the gutters of St Louis My voice echoes through every corridor The fibres of my body stretch around our shores From the tranquil Bel Ombre to the serene Cote D'or Though i was Seychellois, proud and free Your foreign guns silenced me, but they could not silence my dignity For still i fly over our farms and orchards as a bird, as a honey bee I will continue to pollinate every flower and every fruit tree Like the Paille-en-Queue, and the Colibriat liberty I still fly unhindered over our rivers and above our sea You have killed me but you could not kill my identity For I am Davidson Chang-Him, Alton Ah-Time, Hassan Ali I am Gerard Hoarau, Simon Desnousse, Berard JeanieI am Jean Guillaume, Tony Elizabeth, Michel Hoffman I am Mike Asher, I am Gilbert Morgan And all the others you have killed out of spite In the eerie darkness and in the dead of the night I will continue to fly over and guard our beautiful islands But I will haunt you and i will haunt your children For like a phoenix my blood has risen from the ashes, and from the sand And i have become whole again, as i was when In my youth, in my prime, you decided to cut me down But you possess no soul and for your villainous crimes, my blood will choke you and you will drown. For i am the islands For Seychellois i remain. Anonymous~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rupert Simeon Insults All Praslin Community in SIB Forum

When good,hardworking men and women are down, out of luck, having a tough time, making ends meet, face a tough ruthless business environment, a government that cares for its people, will lend a hand,give some solid real advise, help good people up.......not kick them in the balls and have a good laugh.

A Kick in The Balls For Praslin

This week SIB held a business forum, led by Rupert Simeon. Instead of lending a hand, to up lift hard working men and women of Praslin, Mr. Simeon, decided to kick them in their balls ( figuratively) and make their walk just a little harder, and longer with his insults.

Praslin Faces Monopolistic Practice

Unknown to Mr. Simeon, but highlighted by those attending the business forum, Praslin Island is facing a severe economic downturn caused directly from monopolies in practice. These monopolies are in the construction industry, the supermarket industry, the tourism Industry.

The vertical and horizontal integration of a few companies have made entry into business and survival, virtually impossible for any new player. The island is facing an economic and financial lock down and lock out.

Mr. Adrian Uzice Speaks Out!

Mr. Adrian Uzice, a boat charter operator, attended the loan financing brief presented by Mr. Simeon. He ask Mr. Simeon a simple question: " If I borrow scr. 400,000.00 to purchase two outboard engines, to solve my mechanical problems with my existing machines, how will I pay back the loan with a monopoly in place and ( cartel by Destination Management Companies , like Mason's Travel, and Creole Travel - who operate boats for excursion with over 400 person capacity).?

Mr. Simeon replied: " If you are in business for Ten years, and you cannot make it work, you have failed, go do something else".

This statement, directed to Mr. Uzice, was callous, insensitive to the realities on Praslin today,

If we follow Mr. Simeon' s instructions, Christopher Gill will have to shut down Iles Des Palmes, William Rose will have to close down his ferry business, Luc Grandcourt will have to go bait his hook with Lapo - Cabo , most of Praslin including Lemuria that sells rooms for euro 175.00 will have to close down.

Fishermen toiling for 25-35 years, looking for ice will have to stop fishing.

Mr. Simeon sounded like a Plant for Lalyans Seselwa in the JJ Spirit line up. He literally destroyed the credibility of the ruling government before the people of Praslin.

Close SIB Down Now!

Government is wasting more money with Rupert Simeon and SIB. SIB gets a budget of Eight a million toupees what does it do for Eight Million toupees per annum? nothing.
Today we have a engaged minister of investment. He can handle the dossier of Rupert Simeon and we can save Eight Million Rupees a year. In Ten years, that is Eighty Million. 
Fire Rupert Simeon Now!
Praslin Demands it. 
Then Mr. Uzice can offer him a job baiting hooks for Tourists, if he can do that.

Sesel Pou Seselwa!
