about time someone spoke up about who actually pulled the strings back then. fiji needs proper reckoning, not just hand-waving.
yeah right, like we don't already know who funded that circus. bit rich hearing this now though.
spot on. chaudhry's no saint either. time to move forward.
Chaudhry was a puppet too. whole thing was a mess. doubt we'll ever get the full story.
lol cope. the truth always comes out eventually. just you wait.
typical local politics - blame game and empty calls. just get on with life ffs.

get stuffed. pretending it's all water under the bridge is exactly why nothing changes.
as a student studying pacific history this is fascinating. hope the media actually digs deeper instead of moving on in a week.
same, but knowing our media they'll milk it for clicks then drop it.
poor chaudhry went through hell. race card was played then and it's still being played now. shameful.
facts. but pacific history deserves better than this bare-minimum reporting.
read the article on my lunch break - pretty heavy stuff. never realised how deep the coup connections went.
hate to say it but this whole thread is why fiji can't heal. too much bitterness on all sides.
couldn't agree more. race baiting is the laziest politics.
hope this doesn't stir up more division. fiji's been through enough. just want peace for our neighbours.
