Admiral Dom Vasco da Gama (c. 1469 - 1524)- I Count of Vidigueira, 6 th Governor and 2nd Vice-Roy of India
The fleet under his command left Lisbon harbour on July, 8th 1497 and after having passed the Cape of Good Hope, Mozambique island, Mombasa and having obtained an experienced Gujarati pilot at Malindi, first sighted the Malabar coast of India on May, the 18th, 1498. The arrival at Calicut was three days later. (Where it all started)

Versaille the royal residance, the Senate where Seychelles French side of history was made 250 years ago. French Republic 45 years ago when Seychelles French families remigrater to France - our Exile/refugee community began cultivating those important contacts conncetions 30 years ago.Many of our Seychelles friends and acquaintance visited Paris and lived on Boulevard St Marcel Paris 13em not far from the former Bastille - the very many discussions, events.

Picture of Slazburg where we had been living, Richenhaller Strasse, beneath the Castle. Our decision to get involved and start some kind of organization for our Seychelles Community in Europe, the Von Oswald family. On 5th June 1977 we were told - read  of the Coup d’etat in Seychelles.

The chateau of the Sechelles family in France

Above are two picture Amsterdam 1100 - 1400 A picture of Nijmegen after the historical battle - the classic film a bridge to far. Beside the Mauritius colonial heritage, the Dutch East Indies, later South Africa their role in our history. The Seychelles families, community have played and contributed very importantly to numerous issues in corporate and political which contributed to events of 1991 in Seychelles History. The Seychelles Airport and Harbour was reclaimed by the Dutch, the Phase lll Development was also done by them. We have addressed our problematic to the International court of Justice.We have requested to the Dutch government for our Conseil to be based there.

The above is the Royal arch in Bruxelles and Aux Armes de ...we have seychelles families, the community there who have been at the forefront of community struggle - battle to return democracy to Seychelles. Their important role to lead the Opposition and Government in Exile, their support for the SIROP - Alliance/SNM etc exile return program, their contributions to our vision to build due infrastructures for our Seychelles EU community - the, there being of FECAS-ECSVS. As well as the EU Commission our community’s contribution - in put that it be there. Our reason.

The Seychelles nation, ancestral/French, British conflict with the German. We have a large community across Germany before the unification. History has done us great injustice - during the Cold War the great efforts by many German and Seychellois to contribute to change in Seychelles. Importantly the leading German politicians who supported and contributed to our very many efforts, their Trade Union. We have very great respect for late President F Mitterand. Our community appreciated the single mindedness of the German to solving problems. Should the truth be told the unique synergy - contribution our community made which led to events of the Berlin Wall, Germany reunification, the issues of the Treuhand. We trust the German nation and their archaic institutions in their hearts of heart will remember in their history the unique role we played. Any nation that cheat and lie in their history always encounter problems

With out having to refer to our Ancestral French historical and archaic heritage. The Seychelles community in EU took a page from Spain history, events leading to General Franco era, the similar situation in Seychelles - the British did not quite understand why our community working and friendly relation with the Spanish people. We thank this nation inspite of the bitter wars with France their support to our community effort the past 30 years. Other Spanish speaking communities who have supported us across the EU. We have a community in Spain, the decision for the Spanish government and Seychelles to base the largest  fishing fleet and their contribution towards our nation fishing industry

Above is a picture of ancient London and a picture of Buckingham Palace. We do not need to go into our colonial History. We have many Seychellois of British decent their sadness at their treatment. The Seychelles was meted the same fate as the other African colonies. We have been severely betrayed which resulted to event of 1977, the bitter exile and suffering. We mean no disrespect to the Monarchy. There are some 7,000 and by far the largest Seychelles community in EU, the old East African community. Most of the leading exile politicians  took exile in Britain - it has been from here that we led our fight and bitter war to return multi party to Seychelles. The very many historic and important issues. Particularly British - French, continental rivalry. Britain role, politic in the EU , the Commonwealth which have affected, scared our community and nation. Other  important British Institutions which have influenced our history and affected our nation, EU community is the Church of England,  the Archaic - Fraternal Establishment. Again like the German Nation the role our community have played to rebuilding Britain economy after its collasp - Independence process of its colony and our community contributions to Britain wealth and economy today,  their denial. From Reunion Island there have been great state man, scientist, personalities - the British deny that from Seychelles anybody out standing can be found, instead the very terrible treatment. The issues of the many East African communities in Britain, the Mauritian some 60,000 above, the Illois - Diego Garcian community. Importantly many of our leading individuals from Seychelles buried in British soil - how they died. Our Seychelles British community have suffered from social traumas.

Greece and Seychelles have had a long relation in modern time and their community in EU with ours, their very many help, support, corporate work. they have for a very long time been involved ion the economy of Seychelles - the effort of Greek to build a more dynamic economic relation. We have a Seychelles community there scattered. After events of 1991 our British community turned to them for support and encouragement. Their experience in Britain. The know and are aware of our French European archaic and fraternal heritage. They equally understand the British culture and ways of doing things. We have had their support at EU Commission level too.

There some issues in the world not many would understand or even try. It is not about racist issues. We began re linking our EU community heritage with the Scandinavian well over 50 years ago. They came to Seychelles took part in the building industry and for a time ran the only cold storage facilities and smoke fish business. In Britian in particularly those who think they are a special people - we have learnt to treasure and value our ancient European heritage.They have come to our rescue and help during the Cold War era and the puting together of the SIROP - later Alliance exile return program. Again the USA- the White House and many other who did not know the true values of our Seychelles ancestrage and connection. Over the past 30 years our community and nation have build a very good relation with the Scandinavian countries. We have communities scattered there. They have a unique role in the EU Institutions and functioning. #We have integrated some of the archaic values in our EU community coat of arm. To our British Seychelles community please take the time to value our treasures.  They also take the  issue of Tolken Ring more seriously than the greater British people.
