O knihe

Seychelles. Discovery the Economy, Governance, People and Tourism. A Book on Seychelles. This Book gives you the whole information on Seychelles. After having dominated Seychellois politics for nearly 40 years, on September 10th the Seychelles People's Party (Parti Lepep in Creole) lost the parliamentary elections in the small Indian Ocean archipelago. The election victory of the opposition (the Seychelles Democratic Alliance Linyon Demokratik Seselwa) constitutes a dramatic political shift in the country, and can be regarded as a major step in its development towards a consolidated democracy. The recent parliamentary elections were preceded by a presidential election in December 2015, which produced a razor-thin victory (50,15percentage of votes) for the incumbent president, James Alix Michel. After his party's defeat in the parliamentary elections, Michel who has been president of Seychelles since 2004 announced his resignation, and his intention to hand over powers to the vice president, Danny Faure. The resignation of the 74-year old president announced via a surprise address on national television came as a major shock to the island nation. The People's Party and its predecessor, the Seychelles Peoples Patriotic Front (SPPF), have controlled Seychellois politics for virtually the entire post-independence period. Seychelles obtained independence from the United Kingdom in 1976, but within a year after the attainment of sovereignty, the Marxist, headed by its charismatic leader France-Albert Rene, staged a successful coup d'état with help from socialist African countries like Libya and Tanzania. Between 1977 and 1993, Seychelles was ruled as a single-party dictatorship, and human rights abuses were commonplace
