Fiji: Stopping Coups

Categories: Oceania, Fiji, Governance, Politics

David Farar has an idea to stop the reoccurrence of coups in Fiji [1]. “Maybe when Fiji finally gets a legal Government again, they could give Bainimarama the Saddam treatment – that might put an end to this cycle of coups. Okay no death penalty I agree, but's let's settle for life imprisonment for treason.” Bainimarama is the military ruler who usurped power in Fiji and despite denying his interest in running the country, took on the job of prime minister yesterday.
