The Department of Information have tasked Ms Betymie Bonnelame, former English Editor and Mr Rassin Vannier, former French Editor, with rebuilding the SNA over the next six months, before the agency fully resumes its operations.
The new administration hopes that Seychelles can once again open itself to the world, allowing a broad public free access to news from the archipelago.
The SNA officially began operations in April 2014 and was shut down in December 2024 when the former government decided to cease its operations.
