Fiji's Frank Bainimarama, in an exclusive interview with Graham Davis for Sky News, has proposed a summit with Australia and NZ to resolve the impasse over his refusal to hold elections for 5 years.
ANGLO-SAXON WORLD vs FIJI ...essentially, this is what the fuss is all about. Yes, Fiji's erstwhile colonial masters just can't let go of yet another of their former areas of influence. No doubt both the UK and the US would rather maintain closer ties with Fiji by pressuring the Aussies and KIwis to do all they can to maintain the links. But forcing Fiji to hold an Election now makes no sense whatsoever given the successions of elections and coup d'etat in recent years since Independence.
Further... .....Mr Bainimarama, I feel, is the right person to take Fiji forward. We only have to look at Britain's former colonies in Africa to realise the mess they have been left in. Many of these countries have massive oil reserve, gold, diamond and iron ore; and yet most of their citizens live in abject poverty. British and foreign companies are systematically looting the whole of Africa. And this is exacerbated by corruptions and coups after coups by the Africans themselves. NO NO
"Do you have any plan ? FB..."No not really " Where do you taking Fiji to ? Russia or Idia or China ,Sir Lanka ? who is going to take responsible for killing of those CRW soulder and few civilian.living children fatherless and women widow and worrying who is going to provide for them
Bainimarama may have had good intentions when the coup was staged, but it is clear now to the international community that his aim to end discrimination in Fiji is merely a distant dream. He has taken no steps towards reforming Fijian society or implementing a democratic system. There is something very wrong with that!
@ codfj... you do sound like a sad and sick individual. Please, if you have something sensible to say, do so, this is the forum for public comments on just about any subject you care to name. People may not agree with your views but being abusive says more about your personality than the people you're trying to demean.
He can have good reasons, But the international community doesn't think so, EU,South Pacific Forum, US,NZ,AUS all oppose his current regime, now he's kissing China's ass and accepting loans from them, China see's it as a mutual friendship, but Frank see's it as something else, Fijians - Indo-Fijians relationships are strained at a political level which is understandable because it's the Fijians country. Fijians/Kai Dias have "Vei Maliwai" on a non political level.
