This man is very brave indeed. To do what he is doing, takes a hell of a lot of guts. In the long run the nation of Fiji will have him to thank for the stability he has dared to bring about.

why cant some people accept that Frank B is the PM...we dont need the Chiefs in the Political arena, we've had enough, they had really let us down in the past, some have even gone as far as commiting adulterous behavior, yet people still respect them...talk about blind leading the blind. God Bless our country Fiji

Further,,,,

NZ and OZ are like the guard dogs of the Pacific. Now Fiji is leaning towards the Dragon and they seems to be shaking and of course trembling. China should be an inspiration to this troubled countries and they should try and come up with some sort of morden democratic reforms that would complement their values, cultures and way of life in general. We can do this Fiji, lets give Bainimarama a Chance because so far we see changes. Lets condemn the nagative and giveway to the positives.

Democracy is not for Fiji and all this Nations that are going through political turmoils. it is only for western countries only because I think Democracy goes against some of the elements in our cultures and way of life. But yet, once a country faces instability, NATO comes in and try to put this relevant countries on course. It's like daddy spanking a child to adhere to his rule. They do this to maintain power and control.

So, I believe Fiji today under Frank B is totally different from the Fiji existing pre'06. Frank can be seen out shopping and talking to people and being interviewed. He's no Idi Amin or Bob Mugabe or Pinochet, heavens no!...he's a real pussycat and means well for FIJI, cruelty maybe unfortunate, but the end result is PEACE STABILITY AND GROWTH. Shouldn't DEMOCRACY based on those???......Right On, Frank !!

[macvatu]

CRUEL TO BE KIND??...

When Frank seized power in '06, he was perceived as another power-mad dictator, but five years on, people are beginning to see him in a totally different light. Some of the earlier tactics maybe seen as over the top but the required results would have otherwise taken years to implement. To rid a multi-racial community like FIJI of racism and corruption, FRANK had to bring in at short notice some unpalatable measures, unpopular though some could be.
