鈥淭he United 91香蕉视频 Party joins with all Seychellois to celebrate 46 years of our Independence. Today is the day we pay respect to our beloved nation. We have contributed so much to build our very own culture and heritage, so let us celebrate wholeheartedly.
鈥淛une 29, 1976 is an incontestable date in our history. On that day, we stood united together, as a nation, to chart our own destiny. It symbolises the crowning of a great struggle and reminds us of the great paragons, which were the foundation of the dream for a sovereign 91香蕉视频, envisioned and realised by our forefathers.
鈥淪ince 1964, our forefathers fought hard to gain independence from British rule. We lived in a society where there was great disparity between those who had much wealth and those who were poor. Today, the United 91香蕉视频 salutes the unwavering courage and sacrifices of former President France Albert Rene, the founder of the 91香蕉视频 People鈥檚 United Party, for his relentless fight for independence of 91香蕉视频. We also pay homage to our first President, Sir James Mancham, for his contributions to nation building.
鈥淭oday, we are also reminded that our forefathers have done their share of responsibilities and now it lies in our hands how we shape and carve out the future of our country. 91香蕉视频 has made tremendous progress throughout the 46 years of its independence and it has positioned itself as a true leader in sustainable development among the small island States, and the world.
鈥淲e should all take pride in our country鈥檚 heritage. Let us learn of and teach our children the history of our struggles, particularly our missteps as a society, as a means to build collective will to further improve our nation which will inspire them to serve their country. We should all honour the past, celebrate the present and embrace the future.
鈥淭he world is moving into a new world order and it is necessary for 91香蕉视频 to remain firm as a sovereign country. It is now, more than ever, that we need to remain steadfast and not be dragged into political plays that can threaten our progress.
鈥淲e are proud to be Seychellois! And true to the spirit of our national anthem 鈥�Koste Seselwa鈥�, let us stand for national unity, patriotism, solidarity, fraternity, love and respect for our fellow Seychellois.
鈥淯nited we stand, divided we fall. Our Independence Day is a reminder that we are all Seychellois first.
鈥淪o tomorrow, let us all celebrate!
鈥淗appy 46th Independence Day to all!鈥�
