One of the worse man made environmental disasters is taking
place at Anse Cachee in the district of Takamaka with the approval of
government; police officers are even provided to guard and protect the
disaster.

| The raping of Anse Cachee |
A group of foreigners have established base at Anse Cachee
and have made use of heavy machinery to inflict irreparable damage to the
environment and the disgust of the residents. Heavy machinery was used to
remove the vegetation from the beach front; something that is punishable by law.
Furthermore, they have destroyed the corals which gave the beach its unique
identity and piled up boulders onto the beach. It is atrocious. The turtles
that nest there are now being obstructed by a huge container.
What is even more disturbing if that the activity is taking place
right under the nose of one of the most ardent supporter of the environment,
the well-known Miss Lena Desaubin. It may well be that the foreigners are using
part of her property for their activities. If that is the case, she will be
guilty of colluding with them in destroying our environment. Though the beach in
question is secluded, the residents of Takamaka are extremely upset. Though
access to beaches is a right to every Seychellois, access to this particular beach
is being denied by a very elaborate security detail.

| The supposed Environmentalist; Lena Desaubin |
A very well-known lawyer of the ruling party has been
spotted on site talking to the foreigners; they are setting up base for
filming. The same lawyer is busy campaigning for Parti Lepep; promising that
our environment will be protected and our right of access to our beaches guaranteed;
yet he fails to put an end to the destruction of our pristine environment. Can
there be something we do not know about?
The government must conduct an immediate enquiry and inform
the public why this atrocious act is permitted to take place; breaking all laws.
Why is it that the police is guarding the place?
