Khalifa Coast Guard Base Smoke Screens into PP “Kan-Kan”
The Week of July 15th Lt Colonel Goes PublicOn the week of July 15th, 2010, Lt. Colonel Laurencine of the Seychelles Coast Guard went on SBC TV to tell the People of Seychelles that the UAE was sponsoring a Coast Guard base worth $15 Million to be built at Ile Preservans.
In the international press, UAE Press, Africa Intelligence and others announced a day before SBC took to the proposed Coast Guard base that UAE was to build a $15 Million military installation at Ile Preservans.
Joel Morgan looked on at a contract signing ceremony as two unknown UAE citizens signed off on the contracts and looked at each other and shook hands the same week Lt. Colonel Laurencine went about rerun after rerun, over the new base to be built by the UAE.
In his interview on SBC, Laurencine was used by PP to say that helicopters were coming, a plane was donated and the facility would have the latest radar, navigation-high sea monitoring systems in place to fight against piracy and terrorism. During the week of July 15th, 2010, the Lt. Colonel “sold the beef” about anything that was secretive about this new base. The Lt. Colonel went public like he was going to Bollywood. SBC even filmed the base site, so that went public. You could easily sketch what he was describing on a little piece of paper and it would resemble what Regar published but with more detail.
Week of 23rd July, Regar Goes Public with a Little Picture
On the week of 23rd July, Regar went public on the front page of its paper with a picture of the plans of the base still at the drawing board to accompany an article titled: “Naval Base for Sheikh Khalifa”. Regar asserts in the article that the new naval base is for Sheikh Khalifa’s use. The base as asserted by Regar, is referred to as the “UAE Port”, in discussions with Government of Seychelles. Through independent testimony, Regar says that it has learned that as part of this base deal, “Sheikh Khalifa will also have the use of present coast guard base to accommodate his yachts and helicopter”.
Weekend 23rd July Joel Morgan blows a Fuse and Orders Search of Regar Office
On the weekend of 23rd July, Joel Morgan, the new Minister of Home Affairs, goes on SBC and says that Regar has divulged State secrets which prevent it from doing so under the one party State Security Act et al.
Well Mr. Morgan, to come to Regar’s rescue and all Seychellois defence, Regar published this information reasonably relying on Article 28, of the Seychelles Constitution, which duly states in part: “The State recognizes the right of access by the Public to information....”
The Constitution of the 3rd Republic overrides any one party state law Minister Morgan is trying to impose on Regar. To attempt to impute improper motives on the part of Regar, to destabilize state security, is ridiculous and even I have to come to their rescue of a half brained, half witted attempt at nothing more than Kankan on a national stage.
Who Gave Regar the Information?
That is no one’s business except for Regar. Who gave the information from within the Government? Well, that is Minister Morgan’s problem. Why because every day, Seychellois are seeing that the “Sell Baby Sell” politics of the James Michel administration is taking root in Seychelles and Seychellois will become a displaced people in their own country.
What’s Wrong With The Base?
The base is designed in the UAE with basketball court, volleyball court, football field, as if we have all the land in the world to spare. There is also a mosque positioned in the base. A little detail that reveals a lot about the intentions of the financier and the PP administration of James Michel.
What Does it Reveal?
Well, for starters, if you take a close look at the Mosque on the plans printed in Regar, you will notice, that: 1. It is a mosque and labelled as such 2. It is not a multi religious structure 3. It points to Mecca the Muslim Holy City in Saudi Arabia. In fact, it is the only building that points and faces that direction. All other structures are squared off in the base compound.
A Word of Advice to Minister Joel Morgan
Minister Morgan, I have watched you parade along for a long time. I have remained silent in your escapades because at times, you handled some serious issues facing our country that were very sensitive indeed, such as the piracy & hostages’ issue. I commend you for your personal efforts in those challenges. Your work would have made John Wayne bend his knees and shiver.
However, in regards to searching the Regar office and alluding that this little article turned the world upside down on July 23rd 2010, you are going off into Alice in Wonderland. I urge you to quietly drop this matter before it becomes an international fiasco. All it does is deliver your political head on a silver platter. Your credibility in the fight against piracy will be shot eternally, affecting Seychelles relations with international partners indefinitely and setting the fight against piracy in the region, back years, to our mutual detriment.
I urge you Minister to think carefully. Abandon this fiasco not because I support you personally or PP, but only because you are one of very few intelligent people in the PP government. It would be a shame to lose you at this critical time, when PP is suffering an all time brain drain.
If you have any doubts of my wise words to you, finally Minister, remember well, the founding principle of the Republic that is now resonating in each Seychellois heart today:
Sesel Pou Seselwa!
Do not forget this little detail Mr. Minister. Leave the Free Press alone, no matter who it is.
May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellois!

That article reflects my (and probably a lot of Seychellois) thoughts. LEAVE THE PRESS ALONE in other words PA TOUS NOU REGAR!

Morgan was smart once, until he joined the SPPF to feather his own nest. That he has done and today he is a millionaire, having partnered with Albert & Mukesh at Intelvision, and also having a monopoly on DSTV let alone having acquired state land on Praslin on behalf of his wife. Add a pension for life, and Morgan is laughing all the way to the bank.
As for free press in Seychelles, it is coming and coming too fast for Michel's liking. The papers need to continue their barrage and print as much as possible to discredit this Government whenever they are in the wrong. Let the lawsuits ring out loud and clear to the world so that the EU, the Americans and everyone else out there who believe in democracy and press freedom will realize that they are still dealing with a communist bastard in James Michel. The leopard has never changed his spots.. he has only acquired a camel hair coat and hiding behind Khalifa's riches. That will end soon once Khalifa realizes that he is not loved in this nation made up primarily of Christians. The cries for ISLAM CAMEL GO HOME is already ringing throughout the land, and Khalifa will regret the day that he set foot in OUR country. Sesel y pou Seselwa and we must all (SNP, DP, Opposition, Boulle supporters etc..) fight to take our country back. Michel MUST be defeated in the next election. It's that simple.
To the above anonimouse,
Please rest assured ki Morgan i bez pli malin ki tou sa bann Kouyon Koosoopap ki dan l'opposition met ensemble. And just remember that Morgan is the Law and not above the Law.
Have a good day in the meantime.
You guys should be ashamed of yourself for insulting Islam. This has nothing to do with religion but all to do with a foreigner using his billions to buy our country. You should respect every religion, especially Islam which is a respectable one.
Please grow up! If you want to be politicians, behave yourselves.
Well Tiklor, I can't say I agree that Morgan is not above the law as are many of the PL top cats, but that's another discussion. As to the intellect of the members of the opposition, I don't know why you are so keen to bring this up along with your Koosoopap theorem which seems to follow you everywhere you go.
Now let's see if the PL has the balls to touch Regar or try any more of their typical dirty tricks. Remember, even Michel got a gorze of that 'delo kaka' and it's left a bad taste in his mouth. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Remember, it's not only the opposition that are pissed off by Michel's ass-kissing of Khalifa's hairy backside. And before you come with the crap that Khalifa needs us as much as we need him, go suck some eggs and you may get the intelligence of a chicken.
In the meantime, keep driving that imaginary Maseratti of yours.
Reply to the forth post.In fact Mohamad you should be ashame of yourself being a muslim.We as no muslim we don't reduce our women to slave,we don't allow our innocent girls under age to be rape by old perserve men,we don't stone our women for adultry,nor do we chop the hand of a thief for stealing.IS there somewhere is UEA or other Arab muslim countries were they allow churhes to be built?Are of nationals no muslim force to veil when they go in those despotic and archaic states?
We are a christian land but still we open minded and accept over religions but when a ignorant camel who went aground of our shores think that because of his petro-dollars he can shit in our rivers,bull dozed our virgin mountains,and biuld an illegal state within our state with his own illegal army.Then a independent nation we are going to let him know that though we small we have human brains and not that of a camel or donkey as Michel and we as Seychellois we are going to bring order in our house and will not allow a camel to turn our lust vegetation into a desert.
SESEL POU SESELWA DONKEYS.
Jeanne D'Arc
Show me one country with islamic majority where
- there isn't widespread corruption
- where women are not surpressed and have less rights than men
- where it is illegal for a couple to have sex if they're not married
- where there aren't fanatic islamists that indirectly control parts of the country
- where violence isn't widespread
- where women aren't encouraged to hide parts of their body
- where the husbands of those do not practice double moral
- where other religions are accepted as 100% equal.
Then I'll agree that Islam is a religion of peace and respect. You bastards can't even respect your own(ref. shiite and sunni) and you claim that you are peaceful?
Patrick X
Sesselwa don't let you get tick way by those Religion.Because we know who there are and we know how there treat they own peoples.Like modern slaves.
Johnny
Now show one Christian country where these same things dont exists. And I mean practicing Christians not those who uses the name of Christ only for politics to make excuse of Sodom and Ghomorrah.
Oh, there is no one with such a majority. Sorry!
Corruption - Vatican City child abuse cover up
Women surpressed - Many Christian community in USA
Illegal for a couple to have sex if they're not married - Many
Christian community in USA
Fanatic control - Nigerian Christians
Violence - Nigeria/Uganda Christians
Women encouraged to hide parts of their body - Many Christian community of USA
Husbands of those do not practice double moral - Everywhere in world
Other religions not accepted as 100% equal - Just because most Christian borns dont believe there own religion, so all religion is 0% equal for thems.
If you want to use the name of Christ start by practicing his teaching. The most important one -Turn the other cheek.
Well,i will answer you with a question,show us any christian states wherein,women are digged into a hole with only their heads out and be stoned_.Tell us one christian state where raping under age girls is legal and not crime.Tell us one christian state where women have not the same equal rights as men.Tell us one single christian state where they don't accept other religoins.etc etc
As to priests who had abused sexually children ,these are criminal acts and punished by law.while in a country like UAE raping girls is a legal practice and in some instance those girls who had the guts to complain are even sentence to prison.
Jeanne D'Arc
Show us the state with practicing Christian majority? You know the ones who actually goes to church on Sunday and obey the Bible.
When they was real practicing Christian states there was slavery, crusade, massacare of natives everywhere, colonialist, burning women as witch (remember Jean D'Arc?), torture.
Church of England was form to give a man many wives and behead the ones he is finish with.
And how many women are priests in Catholic church?
But what is your point? Seychelles is not going to be an islamic state. Why do you want to make a religious conficts?
wE were victims of colonialism too,colonilism is not synonym to christianity .Secondly to have a beleif doesn'T NECESSARILY means practicing it ,i would prefer to be a no practicioner as a fanatics who thinks that blowing oneself is holy.
My point is that we don't want a camel who sponsor terrorism to illegal set up an ilegal islamic kingdom in our sovereign land and think that he have more rights than Seychellois.
Jeanne D'Arc
Why you don't get lost man,ki malin i malin sa zako blan!May be you are also a dickhead like Morgan and the rest of those oppressor.
Johnny
So this is MSR. Will come to power and accuse UAE of sponsor terrorism? Ha ha ha you will be a real tin pot government and we will be real toast.
But remember this, Kalifa is richer than you. By the principle of capitalism he has no more rights than you but he has more privilege than you.
The hotel dont give free lunch to poor guest but it gives free lunch to rich buisnessman so he will bring more business.
If you cannot accept this then be a communist.
You're all a bunch of a**holes, fighting over islamists and sunnis and shiites... any religion is a piece of crap, all made up to control the dumb masses like the dependent herd they are. While you praise your beloved christianism your little country is going bankrupt, your utility companies are privatized and bought by foreigners, your little work projects go bankrupt and the little amount of smart people that happenend to develop despite all odds puts all their hearts and minds in an effort to emmigrate somewhere far far away so as to have a chance to earn their living in a dignified society.
Immigration was never a priority to Seychellois.For example,Seychelles is one of the few countries in Africa where its citizens does not need visas to travel to Europe,even in many countries in Asia.The reason for that is because we don't abuse those advantages.
If you dreaming of seeing Seychellois leaving their country in order to give illegal immigrants like you this would never happen.
If our industries are being sold to foreigners is because we have a herd of donkeys who illegally selling,gifting,our land ,industries,passports to illegals like you.
We will not leave our land in your hands but rather make sure that illegal immigrants like are put on plane and deported.
Jeanne D'Arc
What a load of crap. Same old same old. Seselwa are tired of drink your kaka water sister.
PL will be here forever. So go to your false asylums and false marriages to become burden on other peoples.
They not just stone there cut the nose and the ear of there wife.CNN just show it yesterday.
Dear Jeanne D'Arc,
I'm afraid you got it all wrong. Maybe it's my fault since my English is not so good, but instead of explaining myself again let me show you how the arguments you used to refute my statements are completely mistaken. Visas are issued by countries so as to control the population arriving at them. If Seychelloises aren't required visas to move to Europe it is because most emmigrants from SC are "high quality" (smart, educated workers), not because your people don't abuse "the power to emigrate to Europe".
I don't dream of living there and I'm not an "illegal" either, I only learned of the existence of your little country 3 months ago when it was reported in the news that people in SC where happy because the IMF had given them a good rating in their economic evaluation. I liked the flag of your country and thought it might be good to look up how a whole nation could be so foolish. Then I found out your country has half the population of my city, so I read the education paragraph on your country's resumee and it has a "brain drain" subsection...
I can only feel sorry for you when I read your SC Nation newspaper, I hear in a newscast about the khalifa's naval station, etc. And then I read the comments where the emmigrants and politicians are described as stupid monkeys and the fool masses convince themselves they are not to blame for not listening to the educated people from your own land, trying to put some sense into your life and then leaving, frustrated, in search of a better future. I'm pretty sure the immigration you get must be 99% the crappiest black pirates from Somalia, but you should realise you can't blame them for your misfortune. Whether you vote your leaders or just play an 80.000 people dodgeball game and the last one standing is president, they represent you and act according to your interests. If they want to build that guard base it is because most of you would rather have a share of those $15.000.000 than keep your dignity.
You wrong again.Indians for example are also highly educated but because their mentality of abusing visa waivers program to illegal immigrate to those counties which hosted them many countries have change their rules to avoid this abuse.like Singapor,MAlaysia ,Australia etc,these countries have now revoke their visa waivers for indians.
If you look at the history of Seychelles you we find out that this mentally is almost alien to us,for example,if immigrantion was part of our tradition then we could have all taken BrItish passports before independent in order to immigrate to Europe,we didn't.
Now the reason of this brain drain you refering to,there is nothing to do with immigration but the failure of PP which has decided to favored foreigners rather than Seychellois-Most of those Seychellois abraod would like to come back to help developing the country but they refuse to be dictated by a donkey call Michel and refuse to work for peanuts while foreigners are earning for the same jobs more than a minister.
Jeanne D'Arc
I reply to insidious comments made:
1. MSR is not anti Islam. We are pro Freedom of Religion in Seychelles.
However, we cannot dismiss the fact that Seychelles is a tolerant Christain founded State that tolerates all other faiths.This is manifested in the Constitution of the Third Republic.
Religion only becomes an issue to myself, or MSR when there is a hidden but overt political objective, to make another religion other then Christianity a dominant faith in Seychelles.
This is currently the situation with Sheik Khalifa and UAE attempt to build a mosque in the Coast Guard Base, when we have virtually no islamic soldiers in Seychelles. It happens when the largest Mosques in the Indian Ocean is being contemplated to be built in Victoria Seychelles.
This is the will of Sheik Khalifa in place, not the population of Seychelles.
As for Sheik Khalifa's money, well that belongs to him. Seychelles belongs to Seselwa! He has taken possession of many properties in Seychelles in violation of our laws. We will have to correct that using political power, which trumps his fat pockets.
My next article will highlight that. The situation is as bad as the Delo Kaka deal.
Christopher Gill
Why KHalifa does go to Commores Island and biuld there.The island is an islamic state and one of the poorest in the region.
Jeanne D'Arc
Is James Michel president of the Comoros ? I didn't think so. One nice thing I can say about Sheikh Khalifa is that he knows a fool when he sees one.
Hello Christopher,
Let us ask ourselves how did Christianity become the dominant religion in the middle of Indian Ocean?
Was it by the indigenous peoples of the Indian Ocean Rim voting and inviting it in?
Or was it by migrant Christians who provided civic development projects under Church vehicles, which got lots of land for cheap and converted individuals by helping them directly?
So Kalifa is a muslim and he support his religion as much as possible. What is wrong with that?
The Christian faith cannot sit on its complacent ass and legislate against religious competition when it feels threatened.
As Christians we must make our faith vibrant and relevant if we want to preserve its popularity.
The last century has taught us that a Secular state leads to an Atheist or Agnostic state which promotes an atheist or agnostic population.
We can also see that the human race is not yet mature enough to adopt this concept and still maintain morality and ethics.
It did not work for One Party Communism and it is not working for Secular Democratic Capitalism.
So if you want to preserve our culture make our faith relevant again. Don't degrade it further by just using its name in dirty politics of convienience.

"Why Khalifa does not go to Comores and build?"
Answer: 1. It is already Muslim, 2. It is not that beautiful and beholds nothing like Seychelles.
Christopher Gill
The reason why Seychelles is a christian state in the Indian Ocean is simple and none of your rediculious argument is relevant.
First,Before the French settled here,this islands berlong to nobody,it was not inhabited nor was it claimed by any of those countries surrounding it.
Secondly,as there was not indiginous of these islands wand belong to nobody,we can't say that the French colonized us becuase this nation called Seychelles thus Seychellois was created by the French.
Now What is wrong with Khalifa is that he is trying to annexe our land to illegally turned it into a islamic state.His action is a criminal act just as Saddam Hussein invassion of Kuwait,it annexation of a soveriegn state something illegal against all International law.In fact we should call on UN and other international bodies to officially stop Khalifa the from trying to annexe our land which a member of the UN.
On religion competition,Seychellois are proud by christian ,it is not only our religion it is also part of our history.For example ,we are called John,Tikolor,Rene,Michel not Kalifa,ali,osama etc .You could imagine how stupid it would be to change our names into Alibaba,Osama etc this will make must lost root of own history and roots.our roots is not in Mekka,but originated mostly from European and African.
one more thing,booby,Michel is bringing two Australian to supposedly see if there were not people who lived on our islands beofre us.You know what it is another attempt to fasify history and of course when those two Kangarus would end their findings they would tell us that beofre us Arabs lived on these Islands therefore trying to bring Seychellois with relation to Arabs and Khalifa in order to justify Khalifa annexation of our land.
Jeanne D'Arc
Well Jeanne D'Arc , if you qualify indians as "highly educated" then we have no bussiness discussing politics or economics since, unfortunately, i cannot but have the worst impression from a society who drinks and bathes in the same river where they go No. 1 & 2, throw away their garbage and let their deceased relatives rot away...
At least seems that your country is already on its indian way, Seychelles appeared today on national news over the poopy water scandal.
