Fiji's Prime Minister Bainimarama Remains Dependent on Military Oppression (2010)
Paradise for the Few (2010): As Fiji's Bainimarama continues to refuse to hold elections, this report gains unprecedented access to the military leader. Speaking candidly of his aims, he is showing no signs of loosening his grip.

Since coup leader Commadore Bainimarama took control of Fiji in 2006 it has become a political pariah, sliding rapidly down a slippery slope into economic quicksand. Bainimarama may believe that, "the military's the only entity that can bring about reforms", but with 45% of the population falling below the poverty line, the nation is struggling. Father Barr explains how the church is trying to empower those trapped in squatter camps to, "overcome their culture of silence". Yet recently twenty church leaders were charged with organising meetings in breach of public regulations. Bainimarama is frank: "they were politicised so I needed to silence them". Ignoring international pressure to hold elections and censoring the media, the dictator is determined to keep democracy at arms length.

Bainimarama was fully dependent as a military STRONGMAN but he forgot that one day he will be the victim of the same laws that he was playing with .

That's what all were saying about Sitiveni Rabuka.
Does anyone notice ? Lucky S. Rabuka. 2 Coups 2, 3 times PM . {no offence}
I like this man
Bainimarama needs to be investigated first for the deaths of CRW soldiers. You just can't swept it under the carpet. Yes, immunity is granted for taking over the government (Coup) but not the murder on both sides.

"critical stance"?? "Constructive way forward"??? like how speight and rabuka did?
Why is it just Australian press that are pushing hard on Fiji? The rest of the world see that there's progress but Australia 🤷♂️
They reckon Fiji was better run when it was under the British.

Y'all needed a 3 party coalition to defeat one party 😂 FFP still has the most votes. If it wasn't for Sodelpa joining the coalition of NFP and PAP, FFP would have won the elections.

It's over now😂😂😂😂GOD bless fiji
He is now reaping what he sow !!!

infrastructure has gradually improved over the years just so you know. Any other government will go the opposite direction due to extreme Fijian mentality. I'm a Fijian and would know.
Remains dependant on anti corruption .

What about the CRW soldiers they also had families but they were used by Bainimarama left high & dry and when few realised they would be killed so that Bainimaramas involvment in 2000 coup be hidden in secerecy then CRW committed mutiny .

Charge Bainimarama for treason against Qarase. Bainimarama is a shame for Fiji for the past 16 years of living in hell. Remove the military we do not need it. It is a waste of money.
Great leader!

Suck him😂😂😂
1. Best man to bring about the right changes to Fiji 2. This man brings equality to all races in Fiji. In his eyes all people are equal in the sense that religion, race and colour dont matter, all shall share the fruits of the nation equally. That is a true character of a true Christian. In fact, even in the Methodist sect of Christianity, God does not differentiate between race or culture, in his eyes every human being is the same. Im sure God did not tell any particular race if this part of the land, air or sea belongs to you specifically, it is humans who have placed these divisions. Unless in Fiji we put race and religion aside and focus to do good things together as ONE or as FIJIANS, Fiji will never prosper. After 12 years of Frank B, actions of him speak louder than words. Fiji is well developed and stands just as modernized as Australia or NZ. VINAKA FRANKY.. GOOD ON YA.

...so how the fuck do you explain his bullying and intimidation tactics while confronting another member of the opposition party? You worship an idol in Bainimarama who is an arrogant, proud power hungry man! When he was commander of the Fiji Navy, he was very arrogant...ask those who served under this piece of shit!!!
