    LINYON DEMOKRATIK SESELWA Lakaz Seselwa, Mont Fleuri Mahe, Seychelles E-Mail : [email protected] Tel: (+248) 4 321122 LDS REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO NATIONAL UNITY AND DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT LDS is fully committed to National Unity. We are the main political force in Seychelles today because parties striving for democracy, justice and protection of the rights of all Seychellois have come together in unity. This is not only in the formation of LDS but goes back all the way to the return of multi-party democracy in our country. In its first statement on the Covid emergency, LDS called for an inclusive high level body to forge a unified national response to the challenges. This was taken up again recently with the motion brought before the National Assembly by MNA Bernard Georges calling for a process of national consultation , which was backed by all LDS members and approved by the whole Assembly. These efforts embody the spirit of National Unity but unfortunately were ignored by President Danny Faure. As a candidate in the forthcoming Presidential election, Mr. Faure has proposed the formation of a Government of National Unity. It is a proposal he is fully entitled to make, but this should be done in a forum within his electoral campaign, not in an address as Head of State on Constitution Day. LDS will make a unified national response to the present crisis, to ensure health and safety with economic recovery, the urgent priority of its Government. But it will also remain committed to the democratic process, stability, effective government without corruption and misuse of state resources.

    EISA PRE-ELECTION ASSESSMENT MISSION SEYCHELLES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION REPORT 09-14 December 2015 Page 1 of 20 Table of Contents Page 2 of 20 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Page 3 of 20 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND POLITICAL CONTEXT The Seychelles islands were occupied by France in the 18th century, and the French brought in African slaves. Britain took over from France in the early 19th century, and ruled the territory until the Seychelles became a independent in 1976. In 1960s, two main political movements were created: the Seychelles People's United Party (SPUP), which would later become the Seychelles People's Progressive Front (SPPF), led by France-Albert René, advocated for independence from Britain, and the Seychelles Democratic Party (SDP), led by James Mancham, which represented the interests of the business and land-owner class, wanted close ties to Britain. Britain introduced elections in 1966 that the SDP won. A new Constitution came into force after the 1970 elections, which the SDP won again as well as in 1974. Britain agreed to concede independence within the Commonwealth on 29 June 1976, and James Mancham became President, with France-Albert René as Prime Minister. A military coup d'état deposed James Mancham on 5 June 5 1977, and as a result France-Albert René became President. The Seychelles became a one-party state, under the rule of the Seychelles People's Progressive Front (SPPF). For 15 years, the Seychelles was a socialist welfare state, with close ties to the Soviet bloc. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the SPPF decided to re-introduce multi-party politics with the approval of a new Constitution in 1991.

  • Seychelles 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    SEYCHELLES 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution prohibits discrimination on any grounds as well as laws establishing any religion. It provides for freedom of religion, including the right of individuals to change, manifest, and propagate their religion. Although the constitution prohibits compulsory religious education, some non-Catholic students in public schools providing Catholic instruction did not have access to alternative activities during those classes. The government regularly consulted with the Seychelles Interfaith Council (SIFCO), an interfaith group composed of Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Baha’i, and other religious groups present in the country, on issues directly affecting religious groups, such as a possible amendment to the Registration Act that would impose new criteria for registering heads of religious groups and establish mechanisms to detect financial fraud and terrorism financing through religious groups. SIFCO met with newly-elected President Wavel Ramkalawan and called for greater consultation of religious organizations in the lawmaking process. The new President called on religious leaders to help rehabilitate moral values and morality in the country. SIFCO organized at least three religious services prior to and after the elections for the candidates and the general public. SIFCO also organized a conference on the Truth, Reconciliation, and National Unity Commission (TRNUC), an independent, nonpartisan government body investigating alleged human rights abuses related the 1977 government takeover and subsequent presidency of France-Albert Rene, to communicate various religious groups’ perspectives on forgiveness and to reinforce the commission’s national unity objective. There were no reports of significant societal actions affecting religious freedom. The U.S. Embassy in Mauritius monitored religious freedom in Seychelles and engaged with SIFCO to promote freedom of religious expression.
