On 13 January 2026, @victoria_duthil and Lucie Harter (@seychellesatheart) gave their depositions as part of the public inquiry into the Assomption Island hotel development. Here are some clips from their depositions. They touch upon: 🇸🇨 The reputation of Seychelles, and why protecting nature is central to it 🌿The urgent need for a full 1-year biodiversity assessment 🚪Why there has been so much secrecy around the island if there is “nothing to hide” ⚖️Unequal planning rules and regulations: easier for some, harder for others 🥔A system stuck in a cycle of blame 🔐Concerns about the membership of the new task force 😶The fear of publicly speaking out about the Assomption development There’s still time to get involved. If you have information and/or documents about the development, you can submit them directly to the Commission: 📩 secretary@assomptioninquiry.com 📞 (+248) 280 9574 More info on their website: assomptioninquiry.com You can watch the inquiry sessions online via @sbc.sc’s YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@SBCSeychelles/streams This process will shape the future of Assomption and Aldabra.
