Last week, on Thursday 30th October, Barry Faure spoke at the National Assembly on the Assomption Island project. His statement helped clarify some of the confusion around the new government’s plans: 🔹President Herminie has not announced a military base. That claim is misinformation. 🔹Ambassador Faure referred to a small Seychellois coast guard base, focused on maritime security within Seychelles’ waters. 🔹Faure said that the immediate priorities were: (1) the pause of the hotel development, and (2) an independent investigative commission. But an official stop notice has not yet been confirmed. 🔹Faure mentioned that Seychelles may accept help from “friends”. Though what this means in practice remains unclear and will need clarifying. The clarifications brought by Barry Faure matter - but many questions remain. 👉 Swipe to see his various statements AND questions that need clarifying. We remain committed to stopping destructive development on Assomption and Aldabra. #ProtectAssomption #ProtectAldabra #FriendsofAldabra
