Fiji's Self Appointed Leader Urged to reinstall Democracy

posted by Charlotte Meyer at 12h46 GMT on Oct 15

This weekend the Pacific Island Forum Leaders Meeting is taking place. It is believed that the Leaders of the Pacific Islands will encourage Fiji's self appointed Leader Commodore Frank Bainimarama to reinstall democracy to the islands.

Bainimarama seised power in December, 2006.

New Zealand's newly elected Prime Minister Helen Clark said:

"All of us, no matter who we are or what we are, want to see a
return to democracy in Fiji, and do want to see a definitive
timeline to get back to democracy."
