Letter from Africa: quirky museum reveals the Seychelles’ rich history
David Smith shuns the beaches, sailing and diving for which the Seychelles is famous and heads to a museumIn one of the world’s smallest capital cities I found the world’s heaviest nut. I was on a gruelling assignment in the Seychelles, inspecting the star exhibit of the otherwise modest Natural History Museum in Victoria. And there it was inside a glass case, a prime specimen of coco de mer, hauled up on scales in 2001 and found to weigh 18.03kg.Coco de mer palms grow abundantly on the nearby island of Praslin. The nut’s appearance is invariably compared with an often concealed part of the female form. An early French author likened it to “the anterior and posterior parts of the body of a negress”. General Charles Gordon said the nut represented “the thighs and belly …

Seychelles gets tough with Somali pirates
Facing threat to tourism and fishing industries, islands plan to build special courts and jail to combat growing piracy menaceThe Seychelles, promoted by tourism brochures as an untouched paradise, is building special courts and a maximum security prison to combat the growing menace of Somali pirates.Pirate sightings or attacks were reported almost daily near the islands late last year, including the kidnapping of the British couple Paul and Rachel Chandler.Facing a threat to its two main industries, tourism and fishing, the Seychelles cabinet last week agreed tough new anti-piracy laws. It also plans to build a £320,000 jail by the end of this year that will be capable of holding up to 40 pirates. It will make the Seychelles, along with Kenya, the main centre for the prosecution and detention of pirates in east Africa.The move follows international frustration last year when the Seychelles repatriated 22 Somalis, claiming it had insufficient evidence to bring piracy charges against them.The expanding range of the pirates, displaced from waters further north in the Gulf of Aden, has hurt the Seychelles as a yachting destination. It also resulted in a 30% drop in income from the fishing industry at one point last year. The Taking Stock tuna industry conference in Victoria last week heard that nine European fishing vessels have left the Indian Ocean because of security fears.French ships are protected by navy marines, while their Spanish counterparts have hired private guards and requested mounted heavy armaments.Joel Morgan, the environment, natural resources and transport minister, said that a major incident would be disastrous for the economy. “In late November you would have sightings of pirates or attempted chasing of vessels by pirate boats almost daily,” he said.”The pirates are getting better equipped, using better vessels, getting bolder and better organised.
