Rene A Candidate For A Little Respect

Rene with AK47 getting ready for the coup d'etat.France Albert Rene is a potential candidate of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation For Retired Dictators Award in Africa. The Foundation is founded by cell phone magnet Mo Ibrahim. It has quite a noble objective. The Retired Dictator’s Award gives an African leader $ 5 Million to leave in peace and take a rest and allow his people to flourish without him. France Albert Rene, although no longer President of Seychelles, is still in charge of Seychelles. He pulls James Michel’s strings and does his utmost best to keep Michel on track, although the latter’s mental fuses are not always in place.

Example, most recently Michel went to Italy to announce he founded the “Sea level Rise Foundation”. Michel on this presentation ignored a grammatical rule. No one told him anything because his adviser’s are known to be too drunk to pay attention. Too bad for the People of Seychelles.

Here is the rule Mr. President: The adjectives come before the noun. The proper name of the Foundation should read the “Rise in Sea Level Foundation” not “Sea Level Rise Foundation”. Reminds me of the Strategy 2017 book being presented upside down in the last rally they lied to the People in. But then again Butler Payette was not paying attention to have Michel turn the book right side up. Can’t blame Rene for trying to hold on to power till his last breath, I suppose.

Anyways, nowadays, Dictators are being paid by Mo and his Foundation to leave their People in Peace. That is the point.  Mo wants a better Africa and he understands that the Dictators are big causes of Africa’s problems. By accepting Mo’s Award if offered to him, France Albert Rene tacitly will agree with Mo that he is a problem for his People. However, the chances of Rene being given this Award are slight indeed. There are other contenders like Rene’s friend and comrade Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Mo upon research will find that many of Rene’s People have been able to succeed in spite of him and Rene has been able to succeed in spite of himself as well, lording over us with the barrel of a gun for over 30 years. The extra $ 5 Million in the bucket will be of no value to Rene.

It’s not even enough money necessary to buy back Mont Fleuri District in the next election.

Mo will be reminded of Rene’s own possible thoughts on retirement which is discernible from observing his actions: “he, who lives by the gun, cannot retire without a gun”. While Mo runs a Foundation off the sale of his cell phone empire for $ 1.4 Billion, he would be surprised to learn what France Albert Rene is worth today. If I were Mo, I would ask Rene to set up a Foundation. Call it the African Children’s Fund, and use some of that money he “earned” in his career as a Dictator and Curtailer of Human Rights, Acquirer of Private Properties and Seller of Beachfront Land to Foreigners, Outer Island Exploiter of The First Degree, The Father of Seychellois Exodus from 1977-1992 and Beyond, to help the needy children of Africa and Seychelles. There is plenty to go around. If Rene agrees Mo, don’t let him trick you. He can be tricky. He is known to train men to shoot rabbits, and then they end up shooting other men. The monies tendered for the Foundation Awards should be denominated in a hard currency and not Seychelles Rupees. Because in Seychelles Mo, you cannot even buy a sack of common Portland cement with Rupees after Rene. So it goes Mo, it would not make any sense to give Rene any Dollars for such an effort.

In any case Mo, Rene and SPPF are on the way out anyways. So don’t worry about it. The “Friends of Freedom” have their eyes on them. They cannot even take a girlfriend to Farquar Island anymore without us knowing about it. As his twilight looms over him and creeps in during his semi-retirement, rest assured Mo, Rene cannot retire. For the body of which he is the head has no other. Should he depart us too early, because of your financial inducement, the body will run like a chicken without a head. If you do not believe me Mo, come visit Seychelles... when Rene rests in Australia.

Give Mugabe the Money Mo....the People there need it more then we do. Charity begins on the Continent. Remember Mo, we are Rich in Seychelles. Rene told us so. Our Dictator will not need your $5 Million.
