Had our community in London/Britain had the resources as is the norm with many exile/ethnic communities this historic thread would have been written very different with 3/4 person imputing , discussion and the finally writing. Our reason for writing this Blog the state of our Seychelles exile Community in 1997 and our older and main stream communities across Britain. Much more important the very nature of that Voluntary Repatriation Program titled SIROP part of the version available online and those who attributed their version of how Seychelles changed form a one Party system to Multi party in 1991 - how it changed Europe, Germany Reunification, the USSR, the COMECON, this very Britain, Africa, the Indian Ocean China Asia, the Arab world , North Africa and Latin America and yet.

In London/Britain those who had know what about that SIROP program - how the world and the media wrote and explained Princess Diana Death - we visited the Families and acquaintance and our community and how they grieved and each their respective views and our own plight and ongoing situations.

Barack Obama leaves a mixed legacy: impressive handling of the US economy but terrible missteps in foreign policy
This is Saturday 30/7/17 - the first Saturday after we have turned 69 years old - thinking of the past 20 years since that relative and former lady friend of Mr Ralph Volcer came to Britain and his own aspiration, ambitions and contributions in Seychelles politic , aspects of our exiles politics - In particular all those Children born in Europe, East Europe, former USSR, Africa and parts of the world boys and girls today in their 27 years old, questioning about our own goal, achievements - for the past 30 years much of what we have undertaken have been influenced by Spiritual values and during the Blair era use to think aloud "why is it that politicians believe in prayers and they dare not stand in the Commons and or Lords and attribute some of their works to their respective faith and belief." This Saturday thinking of that Seychelles the African Union context and current development and state of our politic in the future, the untold issues of President Obama Empowerment of Blacks in the world and this include Seychelles, individual like former President Mancham who have know other issues, aspects and yet not publish, likewise former President FA Rene, the like of Dr Navin Ramgoolam - the like of Hon Pat PiIlay and Leader of Opposition Hon Wavel Wankalawan who know and yet what they tell the mass. Part of belief is you do good things on this earth you may/will eventually get rewarded by Mankind/humanity or God one Day. We have looked up a few article on this subject given that all of them do not know/lack more knowledge of the Obama Presidency what they have written and what the world have come to accept and believe.
We have written several threads and emails stating had then President Gorbachev had a proper economic concept for the changing COMECON, Warsaw Pact and USSR the World and its economy would have been very different and its impacts on that SIROP Program - the last time we went Home to Seychelles was in 2009 and that was when the first gatherings of BRICS took place

We overlooked to address the issues of all the very many piano we have come across visiting Societe Emmaus and the variety and quality - this said as she prepares to return Home, the state of things with our 25,000 exiles/refugees families and their fate. In Mauritius they have began the construction implementation of the Metro Express project, again the concept of this project within that SIROP program some 30 years ago and the new Port Development and residential South of Mahe and the oppositions and those involved in the Development and in Mauritius the Societe Beau Vallon with their equally impressive Development project at Grand Bay. Today's young generation demand more accountability and yet they lack the in-depth and greater understanding of Economic Development and as such what they can cause - Beside the Seychelles Stock Exchange has failed and is failing this was not the Project we had planned 30 years ago.
