We have addressed the issues that since 2013 - those at the EU Commission and African Union representative in Bruxelles would have wish that we visit them and discuss the Economic future of that SIROP program given it is incomplete and the relation to Regional Indian Ocean Economic workings, dynamic, Asia, the African Union, Gulf Region and Europe proper.
We have explained our reluctance and the call for help from President Obama on this/these issues and President Bill Clinton.
After our visit to Vienna, this January we have seen how - the economic Landscape of Europe have suffered and the deep anguish of the people. Addressing these on our Forums and Blogs to you in Sechelles, Seychelles, Mauritius and the Region.
There was supposed to be important momentum in that Senate debacle and what we have addressed about first lady Natalie deep/burning anger over this issue and her personal position and reaction. This have done very little to spurn President JA Michel instead he has/is developing a Bunker politic/position - as Most politicians when they are faced with choice they do not like. Yet this very President J A Michel had been the one who have courted this idea for the past two years as against former President FA Rene and the Oppositions.
We had detected the frustration middle of 2013 - the challenge facing the Opposition in Seychelles, since the change in 1991, the vast and many lost opportunities - the terrible Seychelllois politic of infighting, making political mileage and the self defeatism psychology.
Most important just as they have/rather swallow the lies of the International community, the Commonwealth and OAU that they forced/compelled President FA Rene to change Seychelles One party System - when many had been importantly involved, yet did not have the guts to stand up and say what they knew or in the Assembly and explain themselves .
We/that SIROP program had been the driving force/synergizing simply because either they did not get the victory ought right they had wanted in 1992/3 or that we would do like so many African politicians join everybody and tell any lie that was judge good enough and good enough to make money. The equation of the fact that they had all been for a Military change must not be ruled out - the hypocrisy at the core of our politic.
In October/November 2012, the decision to put online that Programs against those who knew about it in bits and pieces, kept secret from the Nation, electorate what they knew and our National media - their objectives. Because of Mauritius important Protocol with Sechelles Seychelles - we judge, though the high politicians in the Region and the world knew the issues, the people and citizens knew too little - to work a Protocol as have been signed between Mauritius and Seychelles - the people, its citizens need to be engaged and committed. Equally the powerful thinking behind that historic Protocol - both Mauritius and Seychelles, regional nations, Reunion, Madagascar, Comoros, Madagascar, Sri Lanka in the face and after that 2007/8 global meltdown needed to radically rework the many old complex nation bilateral, business and international workings. These are the strong reason we put that Program online - in spite of the massive abuse and gaps, accountability and interpretation involving the global communities.
President JA Michel and this need to be spell just as/like many of the regional Leaders and the of North Africa - had become accustom to what we would term "spoon feeding in economic and big business workings " the discipline and synergy which drives economy and big business - the dysfunction, the corrupted explanation and those who can and have link to a given entity/party that can drive their respective issues who they work these out the explanation, then then give the their people and media. We have been involved in this process for the past 21 years when President FA Rene accepted that program - the communication which was required to be applied, his decision to step down and the taking over by President JA Michel - everybody in Seychelles our Opposition media know how things work, then the way they react and respond including the Church and Religious institutions.
We had reached the point of utter frustration too - and the lists of collateral fall outs and their cover-up and distortions. Particularity the issues and benchmark coming for the African Union and the COI and RIM Association.
The project for a Senate did not loose momentum - between our person State House, President JA Michel and those who supported this concept in Seychelles and the Region, African Union - the International community and Europe. It required the change of mind/approach to working by those in Sechelles Seychelles.
Should one be call, required to go into the details of the SIROP program and the aspect that have been implemented - the need to note, the manner the Opposition have worked, yet the very important benefits, they their families, party members and communities etc., have benefited. The battle on our hands to implement each of them.
We addressed - President JA Michel that the next development required, the similar approach used by President F A Rene with that SIROP program and the return of Multiparty - the Party had totally opposed this move and very many others - yet it needed to be done if one had any wisdom or grey matter left. The question of failed and loss opportunity when it come to those that carry out self or internal changes. By the way we have worked with several Nations in the Region and heir Heads of State, we are not inventing or day dreaming on this topic.
President FA Rene, reacted very reserved when the announcement of Lady Natalie Michel came. Indicating he was concerned.
Let us say for the benefits of the thousands of different point of views and arguments - we have got him at this very late hour to come forward and express in strongest language and view his concern - leave the political debacle of the elections looming, we had the last election and the Opposition posturing - nobody had dared to stand in public and fight their election ticket on a Senate/Two tier Parliament - it could have been very simple and they would have entered history book.
Politic is about brutal business, money and what share of the pie. That SIROP program is very alive and important - how many economic Program can boast/say this and there are many out there in the face of the last global meltdown - former President FA Rene was at the core of this Program and President JA Michel without that Program would have been a nobody - it was handed to him by President FA Rene and the SPPF.
We could have used other dynamics to drive forward the agenda of a Senate in Seychelles - the fact that President F A Rene have uttered and spoken out over the issues he judge need to change - the nation and all those concern need to get down and compel him to formulate his view - let us be blunt - the Power they have over the workings and the decision process is significant - meaning it is very essential, everybody take due note.
Another example of the politic in Seychelles, the process President JA Michel changed the Technical School system, buildings and resources to that University of Seychelles. The Privatization process - the move towards a Senate and two tire Assembly need to be approach to a great extent along this line - once they have made up their mind and announced their intention the rest is a great deal easier to put into place.
It is very sad and terrible to note the way we use the Social network in that nation - former President FA Rene - knew all the Heads of State in Africa, North Africa, gulf Region, Asia - Latin America, we had impacted with that SIROP program - his respective role as high parties to implement and the need to monitor and communicate with other in the given communication possibilities. Hence he must be very acutely aware of events in North Africa and the Gulf Region - the need for Seychelles to change.
Another much more important and burning issues - after 23 years, the influx of migrant and new communities in Seychelles, they have a right to vote and explain their wish how they see events and development take place and shape in Seychelles - the only way froward beside setting up special committees specially for them or creating NGO - it is to have a to tier Parliament - with room to include those new communities and Migrant which is making up that new Seychelles.
Finally there is the wisdom - this the Oppositions distaste, come 2016, assuming they/we take over the nation affairs - what will they do with the SPPF Opposition, the sheer discord, division and bogging down system they will used and deploy and protests - bad enough the fledgling government will have its hands full - if it came to this they would not last one year in Office. What alternative - send them all in exile or lock them up or send them to the Islands. We all need to be sensible here.
There is the need to stress - the mechanism that were used to get Mr Alan St Ange to Join the government and Mr Pierre to work as the only Opposition so to say. It was because of the Opposition attitude - they too are far to prone to "spoon feeding".
The position of former President J R Mancham - President FA Rene ought to release the completed minutes of his first meeting with former President Mancham. Particularly his position what he had contributed to bring about Multiparty change.
Given the Seychelles government, the SPPF became our important partner in implementing that SIROP program - if we cannot get the International community to organize a proper review of that SIROP program - the muck stinks to much, then they ought to table motion to cal for accountability of every single Opposition in that SIROP program - the people have a right to know.
The stench will be 20 times greater than that little coconut coup d'etat of 1977.
President J R Mancham could have pressed for two tier Parliament - yet his utter opposition and resulted is his being push out of the Opposition and loose the Leadership of the Party he founded - these are very serious and fundamental issues.
In Africa, North Africa, Latin America and Asia when a former Head of State comports as President J R Mancham have done/did - it would be the people who would try him and the outcome everybody would know the conclusion.
Further more he had wanted a change that would have seen and taken us back into bondage of certain powerful Nations to dictate their politic and policies.
Former President J R Mancham fail to see with his great insight and judgement - had the people of Seychelles had a two tier parliament the nature and quality of issues and debate which would have started and taken place - including his participation.
Reflection
As the land of Seychelles and that or whatever percentage who still believe and believed in FA Rene Marxist/Socialist dream - revolution, " reflects and review" upon events of our nation and history past 40/50 years, the important necessity to note across all generation and for centuries - mankind/ group, of human have needed and will need to have, hold a belief - the process of destroying that belief which a people or group of people hold very dear - the sanctity - committing a much greater crime - being unable to replace that belief with something more substantial, solid and longer lasting.#
The need to note - the Seychellois, after the revolution and the exile/ethnic , political cleansing - were of a high percentage of African decent, the way they learn to function , exist and believe in a leader in Africa and the process leading to Africa Independence - those like Kenyatta, Nyerere, Kaunda, Sengor, Mobutu Seseko others and Nelson Mandela. North Africa, the process. In India Nehru and Gandhi, In Mauritius Ramgoolam Senior. In Asia the nation liberators and freedom fighters from colonial yoke and bondage. In that Seychelles the black populace belief in FA Rene and his version/brand of politic and Socialism. The same process in Latin America, the America many centuries earlier and the West Indian nations.
To replace it with what - infernal media, Drug and Consumers society and greed. To work just to make the Indian merchants rich and build larger bank accounts.
We are not unique on this planet earth - hence our preference to saying, we come from "Mars, Jupiter or Saturn" in former East Europe and Soviet Russia the belief as white people/civilization, that was instilled, implanted in them after the Second World war, their respective society, culture, economy, science, art and much more. Those who have come with the West - to be differentiated from Central European Values. Those nations today and their children life and future, society - those involved in that revolution and the process of dismantling what the people had come to hold dear as such sanctity to replace it with what, greed, consumer society, drug, mass media and the worse kind of corruption. In Central Europe the mega economic, social political, cultural and financial crises of 2007/8 with nobody being able to come forward or offer alternatives. With just 20 years of changes a large majority of the populace call for the return of their old life and system/society, simple life. For them the Western dream and belief having failed - those that undertook the Revolution the enormity of this failed adventure and belief belief, values having undertaken the process of dismantling, destruction and being unable to replace it with something better and longer lasting.
The originality of that SIROP Program - why the combined Opposition, made up of former President JR Mancham, Dr Ferrari, former Ministers and leading exile executive failed in changing that Seychelles because they did not have that alternative vision as had been contained in that exile/refugee program, president FA Rene had become aware - which they had hijacked not knowing the depth and width of it. What we have been writing, had this Program been allowed to be put in place as had been planned, Europe and East Europe would have been very different - along with the rest of the world. Important reason we took much of the paper work in that suitcase to Angers - Loire those who understand the greater European, France history, civilization and history connected with/to Angers. The Vatican under Pope John Paul ll and Pope Benedict, had grasp the importance and enormity related/involved in that program, so too President F Mitterrand. It had to otherwise it would not have had the depth to contribute importantly to the change and collapse of the Communist system, the Soviet system in the Indian Ocean and Africa. { Lady Thatcher who had been a very sensitive person had grasped a brief glimpse of the issues and compared it to Weapon of Mass destruction, take control of the world and society, driven by others rants to exclaim - the phenomena, mechanism, dynamic, synergy, possibilities - but is was not nuclear or mass human destruction. That was lady Thatcher in instance. Upon her exist today's Britain.}
One of our big - handicap, we are not given to big oratory and long intellectual writing, just any garbage to impress, con and manipulate, crap as is expected, so to say norm of an individual with the ability to contribute and impute in such important passage and process of human civilization. The duty and obligation to reflect and write an adequate paper upon the SPUP/SPPF/PL 40/50 Anniversary.
