Does SADC realise that there will be nothing of importance to report this time around.. ?
Tell them to enjoy their few days in "paradise"
We can organize a fishing trip for them on election day...
Good work SFP.
These elections will not be legitimate if 25,000 opposition supporters are denied their right to choose the party and legislators to represent them in the national assembly. The national assembly will not be legitimate until free and fair elections are held, after electoral reforms.
It must be pointed out to SADC that when SPPF boycotted the 2008 elections, they had access to SBC to campaign for a boycott.
While both Parti Lepep and MDP have campaigned against the boycott, the real opposition have not been given access to SBC to campaign for a boycott.
Freedom Party on the move!
AGENDA:
1. Democracy

We have addressed the SBC on Facebook about the issues that we have a National Assembly election - for the 45, 000 Seychellois living out of Seychelles, beside any Creole speaking person for two days the recorded TV program was failing/not available. This evening we visited the SBC msin site. First they had posted three TV program of 27/9/11. It the government trying to underline the fact of the Liscencing issues of those three publications - Ansam publish by Mr Philippe Boulle, Hon Wavel and Mr Ralph Volcer - Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly. Next Le Seychellois Hebdo - under Regar Liscence, then the publication Boycott by Mr Christopher Gill. Shortly after another TV link appeared - same news again.
No news of the 28th Wenesday or Thursday 29th.
Can we get some debate - views.
Dear Mr President JA Michel - we listened to your speech.
It is time we change this practice, meaning - that what led the Opposition to opt for boycott. The views thy have address and presented - if the those like the Commonwealth, SADC, COI know anything about real politic - we have the result in Lybia outcome.
Again - given the outcome of things, what cause and led Mr David Pierre to step in as Opposition Leader.
We have other greater responsibilities in the world - what rights has those supposedly elected to legislate, debate and pass laws in the name of the Nation.
We say it once again the same crap - the so call coalition who return in 1991 to take part in the multi party pocess, what took place and the results.
It is more than high time we have another TV Station.
