Message of Opposition Leader Wavel Ramkalawan for New Year 2005-‘Let’s work together to overcome the challenges in our way’

Mr Ramkalawan

This comes in Mr Ramkalawan’s New Year message, the full text of which reads:
“Our thoughts and feelings at the New Year are sombre because of the catastrophe so many of our people have faced because of the natural disasters that have hit us in the past few days.

“The events since December 26 have been the most severe we have faced in our modern history. I take the occasion to extend the most profound sympathy for all those who have suffered injury and loss in so many ways. The instances of suffering, hardship and distress are many and serious.

“The occasion calls for us all to show compassion, solidarity and support for those who have suffered misfortune. I hope and pray that the calamities are behind us. In that spirit I express the best wishes for a Happy New Year to all the people of Seychelles. I hope you may be able to celebrate the occasion of New Year's Day with your loved ones and friends while we remember those who are in distress.

“Let us look forward to 2005 as a year when we can work together to build our country. “I hope we will have the courage to work hard to recover from the setbacks we have faced recently and to overcome the challenges that are in our way.
“May the blessings of God be on us all.”
