Is Fiji's Military Coup a Bad Thing?

The South Pacific island of Fiji is now in the process of its fourth coup in twenty years.

Historically this tourist paradise has always experienced tension between the ethnic Fijian population who make up the majority and the minority Indian Fijians.

The man responsible for the latest coup, Fijian Military chief Frank Bainimarama, was himself responsible for putting down the last coup in 2000.

Since July 2005 he had publicly threatened that he would topple the government if it were to implement legislation that would pardon the jailed 2000 plotters.

The coup has been widely condemned around the world but there appears to be mixed views among the Fijians population. The Ethnic Indians who now make up roughly 40% show strong support for the commander who has insisted that his goal was to establish a government that stood for all citizens of Fiji.

Do you think that the coup should be Internationally condemned?

Do you think the world is interested in what happens in Fiji?

Should the UN intervene?
