Ua hōʻike ʻia kēlā hoʻoholo i kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka grandeur d'esprit a me ke kūlana politika ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Pelekikena Michel. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ka hoʻokahuli aupuni i ka makahiki 1977 i koʻu noho ʻana ma Ladana e hele i ka Iubile kālā a ka Mōʻīwahine. He mōʻīwahine ʻo Queen Elizabeth II nona kaʻu i mahalo nui a aloha nui ai. ʻO ka manaʻo o ka Pelekikena Michel e ʻike iaʻu e komo ana i kāna ʻahaʻaina Iubile Diamond pono e manaʻo ʻia he kōkua maikaʻi i ka mea e hiki ke wehewehe ʻia ʻo "ke kaʻina hana ho'ōla."
TODAY: ʻIke paha ʻoe i kekahi mea kālai'āina i kēia hana?
JRM: He holoholona kālaiʻāina ʻo Pelekikena Michel, a ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo nei ʻo ia i ka hoʻolālā politika maikaʻi. Ma ke koho ʻana iaʻu e pani iā ia, ke hoʻouna nei ʻo ia i ka ʻōlelo a mākou e hana nei i kēia lā ma Seychelles i loko o ka ʻuhane o "entente" a me ka hui aupuni. Ke hōʻike nei ʻo ia i ka makemake e hoʻokō i ka ʻuhane o Seychelles First. ʻAʻole i manaʻo ka nui o ka poʻe e piʻi aʻe ʻo Pelekikena Michel i kēia pae o ke alakaʻi a manaʻo lākou ua hānai ʻia ma lalo o ka malu o kahi dictator, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke lilo i kanaka ponoʻī nona, akā ua manaʻo ʻo Pelekikena Michel e hoʻoholo waiho i ka hoʻoilina hoʻomau. He mea koʻikoʻi kēia hoʻoholo, no ka mea e hoʻopilikia nui ʻia i ka politika Seychelles i kēia lā a me ke ala e hiki mai ana.
I kēia lā: ʻO ka mea nui paha e like me ka hele ʻana i Lākana ʻo kāu mau hana hou ma Kairo e ʻike ana i ke koho Pelekikena ma ʻAigupita. He mau manaʻo?
JRM: Ua paʻa maoli au i ka kono aʻu i loaʻa mai ka Pelekikena o ka Hui ʻApelika e alakaʻi nei au i kahi hui o 24 mai ka Hui ʻApelika e nānā i ke koho Pelekikena Pelekikena o ʻAigupita. ʻO ka lilo ʻana i ʻāpana o kahi hui he kuleana ponoʻī ia, akā ʻo ke alakaʻi ʻana i ka hui he hōʻoia i ka hilinaʻi a me ka noʻonoʻo kiʻekiʻe.
"Ma muli o kou ʻike nui a me kou kūpaʻa i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka demokala a me ka maluhia ma ka ʻāina, makemake wau e noi ʻoluʻolu e alakaʻi i kāu Mea Hanohano e alakaʻi i ka ʻAmelika Observer Mission ma ʻAigupita," i kākau ai ʻo Mr. Jean Ping, ke Komisina ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
I ka ʻōlelo ʻole ʻana o nā Mana o ʻAigupita i ka manaʻo o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pūʻulu o nā mākaʻikaʻi mai ka AU a ua hāʻawi aku i kahi kono no hoʻokahi mea hōʻike mai ka hui, ua mākaukau wau e ʻae i ka hoʻokūkū i ka wā i hāʻawi mai ai ka Pelekikena o ka AU i ke kono iaʻu.
ʻO ke koho balota kahi hanana kūʻokoʻa i ka mōʻaukala o ʻAigupita. He kanalimakumamālua miliona poʻe koho pāloka ma ka heluna kanaka ʻoi aku ma mua o 90 miliona no ka manawa mua i hāʻawi ʻia i ka manawa e koho pololei ai i ko lākou Pelekikena.
Ma ka hōʻike hope loa, i loko o ke kiʻi nui loa, ua ʻike au ua hoʻonohonoho maikaʻi ʻia ke koho balota, ʻike maopopo, a pololei hoʻi - kahi manaʻo i hōʻike ʻia e Pelekikena Jimmy Carter o ka Carter Center a me Pelekikena Mauritius Cassam Uteem o ka Electoral Institute of Sustainable. Demokalaka.
I kēia lā: Ma mua o kou lele ʻana i Kairo, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua kipa ʻoe i ʻAmelika. He aha ka hana ma laila?
JRM: He malihini au no ka Hoover's Institute of War, Revolution, and Peace o ke Kulanui ʻo Stanford e komo ana i kahi "Think-Tank" - "Global Hotspots, Insiders Briefings." Ua hoʻoholo ka Institute e kono i kahi koho o nā pilikino i hāʻawi ʻia i ka Gusi Peace Prize e launa pū me kahi hui o nā kamaʻāina ikaika a koʻikoʻi o ʻAmelika e pili ana i nā pilikia like ʻole o ka honua. ʻO wau, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hopu wau i ka manawa e hoʻopuka hou ai i ka pilikia o ka nele o kahi US Embassy ma Seychelles, ʻoiai ʻo ka US i "ikaika loa" e hoʻomau i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā drones mamao me ʻelua o lākou. i hāʻule iho nei ma ko mākou kahua mokulele honua.
Ua ʻōlelo au, ʻoiai e hoʻokipa mau ʻia nā mākaʻikaʻi o nā moku Naval US, me ka ʻole o ka noho diplomatic kūpono ma Port Victoria, aia ma ʻaneʻi kahi kiʻi o ke kiʻi o "Gun Boat's Diplomacy" i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ke kumu o ka "might is right." Ke kāhea aku nei au i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hāʻawi i nā Seychelles me ka mahalo honua e pono ai a e ʻike ʻo ia "ʻaʻohe ʻāina liʻiliʻi inā hoʻopuni ʻia e ke kai." I koʻu kamaʻilio ʻana, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi poʻo mua o ka FBI a me kahi US Naval Admiral i nā moʻolelo. Ua haʻi aku au iā lākou ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi manawa e hui ai me ka US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs - Mr. Johnny Carson ma Wakinekona, DC, e hāpai hou i ka hihia me ka US State Department.
I kēia lā: He aha ka mea i hana ʻia ma Wakinekona, DC?
JRM: ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa ka manawa e komo ai i kahi ʻaha kūkā a Mr. Grover Norquist - ʻAmelika lobbyist, conservative activist, a me ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu a me ka Pelekikena o ʻAmelika no ka Hoʻoponopono ʻauhau - i hoʻonohonoho i ka lā aʻu i noho ai i ke kapikala ʻo US, akā wau. Ua loaʻa iā ia ka manawa e ʻai ai i ka ʻaina awakea me kahi hoaaloha lōʻihi, ʻo Mr. Arnaud de Borchgrave, ka mea aʻu i hoaloha ai i ka makahiki 60 i kona wā he Luna Nui no ka "Newsweek," a me ka mea kākau pū o ka puke kūʻai maikaʻi loa, "The Spike. ʻO De Borchgrave i kēia lā ke kākāʻōlelo kiʻekiʻe no ka Center of Strategic and International Studies.
Wahi a Osborn Elliott - he Luna Hoʻoponopono mua o "Newsweek" - ua hoʻokani ʻo De Borchgrave i kahi kuleana i nā hana honua i ʻike ʻole ʻia e kekahi mea nūpepa ʻē aʻe. Ua hiki iā ia ke paʻi i ka manaʻo o nā alakaʻi he nui o ka honua. … ʻOiai ʻo ia i pili pū me nā poʻe hana kulekele nui, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻopili iā ia iho me nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa a ma kēia ala i hāʻawi nui ai i ka maluhia a me ka ʻike honua.
Ma hope o ka ʻaina awakea me Arnaud, ua hele au i ke Keʻena Mokuʻāina e hui me ke Kakauolelo Kokua o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Johnny Carson. Ua haʻi aku au i ke keonimana me ka maopopo ʻole ʻaʻole wau i hauʻoli i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana ʻaʻole hiki i ka US ke loaʻa i ʻAmelika ʻAmelika ma Seychelles ma muli o ke kaohi kālā - e kuhikuhi ana ʻo Cuba he Embassy piha piha ma Port Victoria. Ua ʻōlelo au, ʻo ke ʻano o ka USA i Seychelles i hāʻawi aku ai i ka Pelekikena Hu Jintao i ka hōʻoia ʻana i kāna ʻōlelo ʻana me ka ʻike maopopo ʻana i ka pilina o US-Seychelles, ʻaʻole ʻo Kina e hōʻike iā ia iho he "hoaaloha maikaʻi." ʻO ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana e like me kaʻu i hana ai ma mua, "ʻaʻohe ʻāina liʻiliʻi inā hoʻopuni ʻia e ke kai," ua haʻi pū wau i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa i waiho ʻia e ka ʻAmelika ʻAmelika mua ʻo John Price no ke kumu i pilikia ai ke kūlana o kēia manawa o ka uhi ʻia ʻana o Seychelles mai Mauritius. ʻaʻole mahalo i ko mākou mana aupuni.
I kēia lā: Manaʻo ʻoe he hopena paha kāu mau noi i ke Kakauolelo ʻo Carson?
JRM: I ka manawa o ko makou halawai, ua mele mai ke Kokua Kakauolelo o ka Mokuaina ia'u i ke mele kahiko e pili ana i ke kaohi o ka puu dala, oiai ua loaa ia'u ka manao ua hoopa ia a ua hoopilikia ia e ka'u mau hoopaapaa.
Mai koʻu hoʻi ʻana i Seychelles, ua hālāwai au me Kauka Reuben Brigety II, ʻo ia ka Hope Hope Kakauolelo o ka Moku'āina ma ka Bureau of African Affairs, nāna i haʻi mai iaʻu ma hope o koʻu hālāwai ʻana me kona luna, ua hoʻouna ʻia ʻo ia i Seychelles e loiloi i ka nīnau. o U. noho diplomatic ma ka honua. Ua hui pū ʻia ʻo Kauka Brigety e ke Aliʻi Michael Baker, ka Luna Hoʻomalu o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagaskar, a me Comoros, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Madagascar, a me Mr. Troy Fitrell, US Chargé d'Affaires ma Mauritius.
Hiki iaʻu ke hoʻoholo wale i kahi mea e neʻe ai a ua lawa ka US e ʻae i kahi i hana hewa ʻia a hoʻoponopono i ke kūlana. ʻO ka hoʻoholo e pani i ka Embassy ma Seychelles he ʻoiaʻiʻo nō ia he "penny naʻauao paona naʻaupō" hoʻoholo, i ka nānā ʻana iā Seychelles e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano hoʻolālā a me ka pili ʻana iā Diego Garcia. ʻO koʻu manaʻo ua mahalo ʻo Pelekikena Michel a me Kuhina Adam i kaʻu mau hana ma kēia ʻano.
I kēia lā: E hoʻi pololei ana ʻoe i Seychelles mai Ladana ma hope o ka hoʻolauleʻa Iubile?
JRM: Makemake au e olelo ae. Eia naʻe, e haʻalele pololei ana au iā Lākana i Lusaka, Zambia, no ka hālāwai o ke Kōmike o nā Lunakahiko o COMESA, ʻo ia hoʻi, e like me kou ʻike, ʻo ka Makeke Kūʻai no ʻApelika Hikina a me ʻApelika Hema. Aia nā pilikia koʻikoʻi ma ka papahana, me ka kūkākūkā e pili ana i kahi papahana o ke aupuni democracy, ke aupuni maikaʻi, a me nā ʻoihana kaua, e loaʻa ana nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole ma ka ʻāina o ʻApelika. He manawa lōʻihi koʻu ʻae ʻana e hele i Lusaka no kēlā ʻaha kūkā a manaʻo wau ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻokuʻu i ka hui i kēia hola.
I kēia lā: Aia ʻoe ma Seychelles no kā mākou hoʻolauleʻa La Lahui ma Iune 18?
JRM: ʻAe, ua hiki koke mai nei au, akā he 2 pule ma hope aku e lele ana au i Brussels kahi i kono ʻia ai au i kahi ʻaina ʻahaʻaina Round-Table e ka American European Community Association kahi e haʻi ʻōlelo ʻia ai ʻo Mr. David O'Sullivan. , Luna Nui o ka European External Action Service, nona ke kumuhana "The New Diplomacy: Objectives, Achievements, and Added Value."
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo Mr. David O'Sullivan ke Kakauolelo Nui o ke Komisina ʻEulopa ma waena o Iune 2000 a me Nowemapa 2005. ʻO ka EEAS, ʻo ia ka Luna Nui, mālama i nā pilina pili aupuni me nā ʻāina āpau o ka honua.

He hui nui ia, ʻaʻole hiki ke hala.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- I ka ʻōlelo ʻole ʻana o nā Mana o ʻAigupita i ka manaʻo o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pūʻulu o nā mākaʻikaʻi mai ka AU a ua hāʻawi aku i kahi kono no hoʻokahi mea hōʻike mai ka hui, ua mākaukau wau e ʻae i ka hoʻokūkū i ka wā i hāʻawi mai ai ka Pelekikena o ka AU i ke kono iaʻu.
- Many people did not expect President Michel to rise up to this level of leadership and had thought that having been brought up under the shadow of a dictator, he would have found it impossible to be his own man, but President Michel seems to be determined to leave a sustainable legacy behind.
- I was certainly touched by the invitation I received from the President of the African Union that I lead a group of 24 from the African Union to observe the Egyptian Presidential Election.
