Army commander Commander Voreqe has taken over as head of state

Bainimarama announced a short while ago that he was doing this to end the impasse.

Dr Jona Senilagakali will be caretaker Prime Minister until an interim administration is appointed.

Bainimarama said he had no intention of arresting the Prime Minister or other ministers.

He said the 1997 Constitution was intact except for parts relating to the emergency powers.

Bainimarama

I wondered what they were up to since their heyday in the 80s.

"Bainimarama"

Oh dear, Hal, lol, it's late, I'm having a hard time thinking of the new dictator's name without hearing the song "The Name Game!"

SHIRLEY!

In an additional statment, the new ruler of Fiji said, "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire; that's your desire!"

Their military has siezed power before, 3 times in the 90s IIRC. Plenty of warning on this one.

The guy they canned was a major crook.

They will hold another election, life will go on.
