In Fiji Commodore Frank Bainimarama is saying the two have been told to take a holiday as they have accumulated substantial amount of leave days over the years.Late last year, there were moves to send Fiji's contingent of troops working for the United Nations in Iraq a new general. He was rejected for the position, with the UN citing accusations of human rights abuses. The army took power in December 2006. It was the fourth military coup in Fiji since 1987. However Commodore Frank Bainimarama subsequently declared himself interim prime minister of Fiji.
There are many reasons that i think this is bad. Personally I think that this is an example of poor leadership. This is bad for this country because is does not give them a good reputation. The country is basically falling apart piece by piece. All of this is not doing any good for Fiji and will not do any good for the future of this country.

current event week 7, Fiji to determine own destiny
The president of Fiji states that Fiji should control it's own future. He said that although Fiji is in hard times is still needs to have control over it's future. they have been criticized but they still are working to keep a well running government.
I think that this is good for Fiji to remain in control of it's future because if they remain in control then they will be better off. It will also give them more stability. This is why it is good for Fiji this week.

Current Events Week 6: Private press censorship in Fiji
Fiji's private press came under strict official censorship in April 2009. In 2010 they tightened media ownership requirements and provided for prison terms for journalists. The ownership rules threatened the Fiji Times, "the only newspaper that has resisted government control".Radio is a key for the outer islands. BBC World Service and FM Radio relays were shut down in the 2009 state of emergency.
I think that this will greatly affect Fiji's news sources. This is because Fiji is a small country and has 3 main sourses for news and about 1 of them is private news. That is why this will greatly affect Fiji's news sourses. In conclusion news censorship in Fiji will greatly affect the news in Fiji.
