[wanabidii] ARCHIVES - Soldiers From Tanzania Help Defend Seychelles, Aide Says

VICTORIA, the Seychelles, Dec. 30— Tanzanian troops are helping man airport and coastal defense positions after last month's coup attempt by mercenaries, Maj. James Michel, the Seychelles Information Minister, said today.

Major Michel, who is also Chief of Staff of the Seychelles Defense Forces, said Tanzanian soldiers, who had been training the Seychelles Army since 1977, had ''almost all gone home'' before the mercenaries attacked the airport on the main island of Mahe on Nov. 25.

''But right after the attack Tanzania sent combat troops and they are now supplementing our own defense forces at the airport and coastal defense positions to help us counter any future aggressions,'' Major Michel said. ''They will stay as long as is needed.''
