Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>In case the Comoros cannot, for whatever reason, host the 12th Indian Ocean Islands Games scheduled for 2027, Seychelles is simply ready to step in and organise the Games, President Wavel Ramkalawan has said.<\/b><\/p>\n

The head of state made the comment yesterday to simply clarify a statement made on September 9 during a special appreciation and reward ceremony held at State House to thank members of Team Seychelles for their participation at the recently-held 11th Games held in Madagascar.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, President Ramkalawan said, based on facts and past experience, Seychelles will host the 12th Games in 2027.<\/p>\n

After media outlets in the region repackaged what was said by President Ramkalawan, Ibrahim Mze Mohamed, president of the Regional Olympic and Sports Committee of the Comoros, addressed a formal statement to the president of the Games International Committee (CIJ) Antonio Gopal, expressing the displeasure of the Comorian authorities following the statement which he has describedas \u201cunfriendly and inaccurate on the Comoros\u2019 inability to host the Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the statement dated September 24, 2023, Mr Mohamed said President Ramkalawan\u2019s declaration \u201cdefeats the spirit of solidarity, mutual support, and fraternity which lightens up the heart and unites the people of the Indian Ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Mohamed added that the Comoros remain confident on CIJ\u2019s decision to award them the right to host the Games in 2027, adding that that there should be no negative influence on the cardinal values of the Olympics which are the prime guides the IOIG charter.<\/p>\n

In his statement, President Ramkalawan noted that \u201cthe last time the Comoros were supposed to organisethe IOIG, they could not and another country had to take over, while in 2027, if they cannot, Seychelles is simply ready to step in and host the Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Ramkalawan however added that \u201cwe are relieved by the assurances given by the Regional Olympic and Sports Committee of the Comoros and we wish them the very best in their preparations\u201d, concluding that \u201cSeychelles will participate in what will be a great meeting of the youth of the Indian Ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n
