I-ETN ikhiqiza kabusha ikheli njengoba lilethwe u-Alain St.Ange emhlanganweni we-IIPT eLusaka, ngoba yavusa isithakazelo esikhulu futhi izihambeli eziningi zacela ikhophi yekheli, elizophinde likhiqizwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi yi-IIPT kanye neNyuvesi yase Zambia kulokho okuzoba yinkomba yombhalo.
U-Alain St.Ange uthi:
“Njengoba ngike ngasho esingenisweni, ngiphuma ezweni, ngenxa yesibalo esincane sabantu abangaba ngu-87,000, elingase lifundwe njenge-microcosm nesibuko kwezinye zezindaba okuxoxwa ngazo namuhla.
“I-Seychelles iyiqoqo leziqhingi ezingaba ngu-115 eziqhingini ezikhazimulayo, eziphakathi kuka-4 no-10 degrees eningizimu yenkabazwe entshonalanga ye-Indian Ocean. Yahlala kuphela ngo-1756 yizifiki zaseFrance, okokuqala kwaba ikoloni laseFrance ngaphambi kokuba inikezwe iBrithani ngo-1812, ikoloni layo lahlala kwaze kwaba yinkululeko ngo-1976. Namuhla, iRiphabhulikhi yaseSeychelles inohlelo lwezepolitiki oluhlanganisa amaqembu amaningi kanye noMongameli ophethe njengenhloko. kahulumeni kanye nohulumeni.
“Mhlawumbe ngenxa yenzuzo yokuba yisizwe esincane, osekuphele umlando waso, silele singaziwa endaweni enkulu yoLwandlekazi i-Indian futhi sisodwa sisodwa, akukho okunye esingakwenza ngaphandle kokuthola izindlela zokuthi siqhubeke nokuhamba, okokuqala njengabafiki, kwase kuba umphakathi, futhi ekugcineni njengesizwe, esinengxubevange enkulu yezinhlanga namuhla ebizwa ngokuthi abantu baseSeychellois, 'imbiza encibilikayo yamasiko.'
“Sibe nenhlanhla ngokunikezwa, ngokomlando, ithuba lokwenza ukuba sodwa kanye nokuba kude kwethu, kube amandla angempela: ukuhlanganisa izinhlobo eziningi zezinhlanga zabantu bakithi zibe yisizwe esiphilayo kodwa esinokuthula. Thina, eSeychelles, siyaziqhenya ngesimangalo sethu sokuthi iziqhingi zethu azizona nje izwe lehlobo elingapheli, kodwa futhi indawo lapho ukuvumelana kuyindlela yokuphila. Lokho kuzinza kuyisisekelo somphakathi wethu futhi, vele, kuyinsika yezinye zezindlela zokuphila zomnotho wethu, imboni yethu yezokuvakasha.
“Ngikholwa ukuthi lesi yisiqalo esibalulekile kunoma iyiphi imboni yezokuvakasha: ukuze sibe sesimweni sokuletha ukuthula emhlabeni ngezokuvakasha, okokuqala kufanele sikwazi, futhi sizimisele, ukuletha ukuthula kithina, ekhaya. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kufanele sitshale ekuchumeni kwesikhathi eside nasekusimameni kwezimboni zethu zezokuvakasha futhi singakhohlwa isisho esidumile: lowo owayezonqoba umhlaba, kumele aqale azinqobe.
“Njengomama wase-Afrika, iziqhingi zaseSeychelles zinezimfanelo eziningi zemvelo, ezisibeka emahlombe namahlombe ngaphezu komncintiswano. Imvelo ibusise i-Afrika ngobuhle bemvelo obumangalisayo, amasiko acebile, amahlathi aluhlaza, ama-savannah amangalisayo, izitshalo nezilwane ezimangalisayo, kanye nochungechunge lwemisebenzi ewumona womhlaba kanye nayo yonke indawo emhlabeni ukuze uyijabulele.
“I-Afrika inamandla angenakulinganiswa okuthuthukisa izimboni zayo zezokuvakasha ukuze ifinyelele esibhakabhakeni, isebenzisa inzuzo yeMother Nature, kodwa ngasikhathi sinye, iqinisekisa ukuthi noma yikuphi ukuxhashazwa kuyasimama futhi kuzoqinisekisa ukuthi ubuqotho bezimpawu eziyisisekelo buhlala buqinile izizukulwane ezizayo zijabulele futhi izizukulwane ezizayo zizuze kuzo. Kufanele sizikhandle ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi asenzi isono esikhulu sokunqotshwa izifiso zenzuzo yesikhashana futhi sinqamule lona kanye igatsha esihlezi kulo nesithembele kulo ukuze siziphilise - ukuze siphile!
“Emhlabeni lapho lingekho izwe elingaqhudelani emkhakheni wezokuvakasha oqhudelana kakhulu, ezokuvakasha ziwukukhuphula izinga lomuntu ngempumelelo, zibe ziqinisekisa ukuthi indlu yazo isesimweni kanye nokuthi imikhiqizo yayo yezokuvakasha ifanelekile. Emazwini akamuva, unobhala-jikelele wengqungquthela ye-UN yezohwebo nentuthuko (UNCTAD) ugcizelele ukubaluleka okubalulekile kwekhwalithi ekuthuthukisweni komkhakha wezokuvakasha ophumelelayo. Ukuphawula kwami kuza ngemva kokuvela okokuqala esidlangalaleni kwekomiti eliqondisayo le-UN kwezokuvakasha ukuze kuthuthukiswe, okubonisa ukwanda kokufaneleka kwezokuvakasha ohlelweni lwentuthuko futhi kubonisa ukuzibophezela okucacile kohlelo lwe-UN ekwenzeni ezokuvakasha zisebenzele intuthuko.
“Sikufeza kanjani lokhu? Siqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi sihlala ngaphandle esigcawini, emahlombe nasemahlombe ngaphezu komncintiswano? Futhi siqinisekise ukuthi imboni yethu ihlala inempilo futhi inamandla esikhathini eside?
“Ukuphendula eminye yale mibuzo, ngithanda ukunethulela isifundo esifushane sezokuvakasha zaseSeychelles. I-Seychelles incike embonini yayo yezokuvakasha. Ezokuvakasha zihlala ziyinsika yomnotho waseSeychelles. Kudingeka siphumelele ngemboni yethu yezokuvakasha.
“Ngo-2009, kulandela ukuphahlazeka kwemikhakha yezezimali eMelika naseYurophu, kanye nokwehla kwamandla omnotho, iSeychelles yabhekana nokwehla okukhulu kwezibalo zokufika kwezivakashi, ngakho-ke, nemali engenayo. Kwanqunywa ukuthi kudingeka uguquko endleleni izwe elisondela ngayo embonini yezokuvakasha, kanye nokuhlelwa kabusha nokuvuselela izikhungo kanye nezinsiza, kokubili abantu nezinye.
“Okwenzeka ngaleso sikhathi kwabeka inkundla yokuvuselelwa kwemboni yezokuvakasha eSeychelles, kwavula indlela yempumelelo esiye sayijabulela.
“Okokuqala, uhulumeni, endimeni entsha yokuba ngumgqugquzeli, ungene ebudlelwaneni obusha nezinkampani ezizimele, manje esezithathela eyakhe imboni. Ukwakhiwa kwebhodi leBhodi Lezokuvakasha lase-Seychelles kwabuyekezwa ukuze kwabelwe iningi lezikhundla zamalungu ebhodi kubadlali bemboni ezimele, futhi lokhu njengoba uhulumeni eqinisekise ukuqhubeka kokuxhaswa ngezimali kwemisebenzi yebhodi kanye nesabelomali sayo sisonke.
"Njengoba ababambiqhaza bendawo manje sebesesihlalweni sokushayela, ukuhlangana okusha okuholele kuye kwavumela izinguquko ezidingeka kakhulu ukuthi zenziwe phansi, lapho, ndawonye, enze i-Seychelles ikwazi ukusebenzisa izinsiza zayo ngokuphumelelayo nangaphezulu. Izinqubomgomo ezintsha, ezintsha zamukelwe ngokuhambisana nenqubomgomo yesibhakabhaka esivulekile kanye nendiza yezindiza, okuholele ekwenyukeni okuphawulekayo kwenani lezivakashi ezifika ogwini lwethu. Izimakethe ezintsha eMpumalanga Ephakathi, e-Asia, e-Afrika, naseMelika ziyahlolwa kanye nama-synergies amasha okuvakasha kwamahabhu amabili.
“Imizamo emisha eklanyelwe ukuphakamisa igama lethu emhlabeni jikelele ihlanganise nezinhlelo ezinjengokuqoka amaNxusa ezokuVakasha aseSeychelles – izakhamuzi zaseSeychellois ezihlala phesheya ezizimisele ukusebenzisa ukuxhumana kwazo nolwazi lwendawo lwezwe lakubo ukukhangisa iSeychelles njengendawo yokuvakasha. Sinezakhamuzi zaseSeychellois yonke indawo emhlabeni futhi njengoba siseZambia, ngisanda kuqoka u-Seychellois Emily Luring izolo njengeNxusa lethu lezokuVakasha lakamuva laseZambia.
“Siphinde sibe nohlelo lwethu lwabangane baseSeychelles - Press. Lokhu okwabantu abangamalungu emithombo yezindaba yamazwe ngamazwe ngokwethembeka, nolwazi olubanzi lwe-Seychelles, kanye nemigudu ebalulekile yokusabalalisa izindaba mayelana neziqhingi.
“Ukudala amandla amakhulu nakakhulu, uMongameli wethu, uMnu. James Michel, yena wathatha izintambo kanye nephothifoliyo kwezokuvakasha futhi wacela isizwe ukuthi sigxile kabusha ohlotsheni lwezokuvakasha lwaseSeychelles: lelo suti eyingqayizivele yezimfanelo, ubuhle bemvelo, isiko, imisebenzi. , kanye nemicimbi eyenza iSeychelles ukuthi iyini. Unxuse izwe lonke ukuthi lime ngemuva kwemboni yezokuvakasha futhi libambe iqhaza ekwenzeni izinto zenzeke.
“UMengameli ukugcizelele lokho okwase kuba sobala: ukuthi nakuba iziqhingi zethu zibusiswe ngehlobo laphakade, amanzi aheha kakhulu, namabhishi aphakeme, lokhu kukodwa akukwazi ukuqhubeka nokwenza isisekelo semboni yethu yezokuvakasha. Umhambi wanamuhla futhi ufuna 'isipiliyoni' mayelana nokuhlangana kwamasiko nemisebenzi, futhi noma iyiphi imboni yezokuvakasha ephumelelayo kufanele ibe sesimweni sokuhlinzeka ngalokhu. Kufanele sifunde ukwandisa futhi sihlukanise isisekelo somkhiqizo wethu, ngesikhathi esifanayo siqinisekisa ukuthi noma yini esiyenzayo namuhla egameni lokuthuthukisa imboni yethu ayingeni ngaphandle kwekusasa.
“Uma sesiwuhlonze umkhombandlela ojwayelekile ukuvakasha kwethu okuzowuthatha mayelana nokukhombisa ngempumelelo konke esinakho, ukuhlinzeka ngemikhiqizo eseqophelweni eliphezulu kuwo wonke umhlaba, nangemuva kokuba sesibheke izimakethe zethu, ezendabuko nezisafufusa, sisasele. ngombuzo wami wangaphambili: Singazihlukanisa kanjani nomncintiswano? Singayiphakamisa kanjani iphrofayili yethu futhi sidale ukuqwashisa ngathi njengendawo okuyiwa kuyo?
“Ukufeza lezi zinto kumele sizilungiselele ukulahla imibono yabantu bendabuko kanye nezikhundla ezigxilile bese siqala ukucabanga ngaphandle kwebhokisi. Indawo ethokozisayo yokuqala le nqubo mhlawumbe ngokubona ukuthi umncintiswano ungase usetshenziselwe ukuzuzisa thina - kanye nezabo. E-Seychelles, sibheke ukuthuthukisa ama-synergies ezokuvakasha nomakhelwane bethu ezwenikazi lase-Afrika. Umkhankaso wethu osanda kwethula 'Ukusuka Kwabahlanu Abakhulu Kuya Kwabahlanu Abangcono Kakhulu' uhlanganisa izici zaseMpumalanga Afrika kanye nezaseNingizimu Afrika nalezo zaseSeychelles, okudale inhlanganisela ehehayo yezinto ezithokozisayo ezizojabulisa izivakashi ezingaba khona.
“Yini esingayenza ukuze senze abantu babe nesithakazelo e-Afrika? Thina, e-Seychelles, sikholelwa ukuthi ukuhlakulela uchungechunge lwemicimbi yamazwe ngamazwe kungenye yezindlela zokuwina ukubamba iqhaza kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nokusakazwa kwabezindaba okubalulekile, futhi muva nje sikujabulele kokubili ngokwanele ngokwethulwa kohlelo lokuqala lwe-Seychelles 'Carnaval International de Victoria' ngoNdasa walo nyaka.
“Lapha sibonile ukuthi izifundazwe zakithi zase-Afrika zibambe iqhaza kulo mcimbi obube yimpumelelo, osekubikwe ngawo umhlaba wonke, kanti, okudabukisayo, abanye abazange bawuhambele. Ngigcizelela ukuthi uma ezokuvakasha zethu zizochuma, i-Afrika kumele yenzele i-Afrika, ime eduze kwabafowethu nodadewethu base-Afrika futhi ngokubambisana senze konke okusemandleni ethu ukuphakamisa igama lezwekazi lethu. Iningizimu Afrika; eZimbabwe; kanye neZanzibar, eTanzania, babekhona emikhosini yemikhosi yaseSeychelles. Bajoyinwa iziqhingi zaseMadagascar kanye neLa Reunion ezivela eqenjini leziqhingi zase-Indian Ocean. Lokho bekuvela e-Afrika njengengxenye yomcimbi womphakathi wezizwe lapho amazwe angama-21 abebambe iqhaza. Njengezwekazi, njengabantu abavela e-Afrika, siphuthelwe yithuba elihle lokubona amaqembu ethu amasiko ehambela ndawonye namanxusa avela kuma-carnivals ahamba phambili emhlabeni.
“Iphephandaba elikhulu kunawo wonke elake laya eSeychelles lakhuluma ngalo mgubho wama-carnival ngoba uhlukile. Isewukuphela kwe-carnival ehlanganisa ndawonye imikhankaso ehamba phambili emhlabeni futhi ibenze babonakale odwendweni olulodwa lwe-carnival eduze namaqembu amasiko oMphakathi Wezizwe. Uhlelo olulandelayo lwalesi senzakalo esiyingqayizivele e-Afrika lusukela ngo-March 2-4, 2012. Kulolu hlelo, simema ukuhlanganyela okuvela kumaNdiya aseMelika, izakhamuzi zaseziqhingini zasePacific ezivela eHawaii, aboMdabu base-Australia, kanye nabaThwa baseGabon, njll.
“Njengoba siletha imicimbi emisha ukuze uMphakathi Wezizwe uhlangane, kufanele siphawule ngokudabukisayo ukuthi ezinye izinkundla ezinkulu sezifikile futhi zadlula: ezimbili ezifika engqondweni ngokushesha umjaho waseKapa uya eRio kanye neParis-Dakar, ilahliwe ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha kodwa ngaphandle kokusishiya nomyalezo obalulekile: Ezokuvakasha nokungavikeleki akukwazi ukuhlalisana!
“Impumelelo emangazayo yakamuva ezwenikazi ukusingatha kweNingizimu Afrika iNdebe Yomhlaba yeFIFA ka-2010, nokuyinto eyadonsa amehlo omhlaba wonke. I-Afrika ikhalela ozongena esikhundleni kulowo mcimbi omkhulu, futhi kufanele manje senze konke okusemandleni ethu ukuwuhlinzeka. Masihlanganise amakhanda ethu ukuze siqhamuke nomlandeli ofanelekayo, ngoba kusemibukwaneni emihle kangaka esihlanganisa sonke lapho ubuhle be-Afrika bukhazimula ukuze bonke babubone futhi buzwakale emhlabeni wonke.
“Kumele silwele ukukhulisa isasasa e-Afrika. Esizindeni samasiko nomculo ngokwesibonelo - lokhu kuzovumela izivakashi ukuthi zibone isiko lethu eliyingqayizivele.
Sonke siyazi ukuthi umculo wase-Afrika uthandwa kakhulu emhlabeni jikelele. Izolo, khona lapha kuleli hholo, sizwe ikhono lomculo waseZambia kanye nendlela yokudansa.
“Ingabe njengezwekazi sihlangene ngempela ukwenza umcimbi wemicimbi yomculo wase-Afrika?
“Ukwenza isiko elidumile kwandisa isivuno kwezokuvakasha futhi kuqinisekisa ukuthi idola lezokuvakasha liyasabalala.
“Ngiphakamisa ukuthi njengesibonelo esisodwa sendawo sonke esingahlangana ukuze sithuthukise lokho okuzosiza futhi okungasiza ekuguquleni umbono we-Afrika.
“Kungemicimbi enjalo lapho singathola khona izinhliziyo, sithonye izingqondo, futhi senze ushintsho lwangempela lube ngcono. Ngabe sonke asigcinanga ezinhliziyweni zethu umfanekiso wegolide wezwe elihlanganiswe ibhola? Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi sonke siyaqaphela ukuthi izinjongo eziphakeme zobunye, ukuzwana, futhi ngokwengeza, ukuthula, kungafezwa ngokwangempela ngale ndlela nangezinye izindlela. Umsebenzi wethu uwukubathola, sibakhulise, futhi sibenze bafezeke.
“Ngaphambi kokuthi sibe nethemba lokuzuza lokho, kunenye ingxenye ebalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwezokuvakasha ngempumelelo esingeke siyinake lapho sisengozini - ukusimama. Lobu ubuso obungaphakathi embonini yethu yezokuvakasha obucela ukuthi sihlole ukuthi siwuphatha kanjani lo mthombo.
“Sezadlula izinsuku lapho noma ngubani phakathi kwethu engakwazi ukungazinaki izingqinamba zamandla asebenzayo, amanzi, nokulawulwa kwemfucuza, okuyikhona okusekela izinga lamanje nelakusasa lentuthuko yezokuvakasha. I-Ditto, siqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi izimboni zethu zezokuvakasha ziyayizuzisa imiphakathi yethu yasendaweni, sithatha zonke izinhlungu ukuze sinciphise imithelela emibi yokuthuthukiswa kwezokuvakasha ezindaweni zethu ezintekenteke nemiphakathi, umthwalo wokwanda kwabasebenzi bakwamanye amazwe, usongo lwezinombolo zezivakashi kumasiko ethu kanye izindlela zokuphila, kanye nesisekelo semiphakathi yethu.
“Ukusimama kumayelana nokuzihlola njalo, ngokwethu, njengoba sisheshisa ukuzuza izinjongo zethu. Kumayelana nokumiswa kohlelo olusebenzayo lokuhlola kanye nebhalansi ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi asifiki ngaphambi kwethu, kodwa silwele ukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke esingakwenza namuhla, sisazoba namandla okwenza kusasa.
“Bantu base-Afrika, bathandekayo, ngithanda ukusho ukuthi lezi yizinselelo zekusasa. Kodwa akunjalo. Lawa amandla adinga impendulo esheshayo necindezelayo kithi lapha futhi manje! Futhi sizozinqoba kuphela ngokubeka kwethu, ngamunye wethu, amagceke ethu angemuva ngokulandelana kwawo, ukulwa nokuntula ukuphepha noma nini nanoma kuphi lapho kusongela khona, futhi ngokuhlanganisa amandla esiteji samazwe ngamazwe ukuphakamisa amaphrofayili ethu ngabanye kanye namaqoqo ukuze kube ngcono. zezimboni zethu zezokuvakasha, sibe silawula ukuthuthukiswa kwalezo zimboni ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zikhula ngendlela eqhubekayo.
“Kulapho-ke kuphela lapho esingathemba khona ukuthi sizokwenza umehluko emhlabeni wethu ngezokuvakasha.”
