Fiji's Road to Military Coup, 20061
2. 'Anxiety, uncertainty and fear in our land': Fiji's road to military coup, 20061 Brij V. Lal Introduction If civilization is to survive, one is driven to radical views. I do not mean driven to violence. Violence always compromises or ruins the cause it means to serve: it produces as much wrong as it tries to remedy. The State, for example, is always with us. Overthrow it and it will come back in another form, quite possibly worse. It's a necessary evilÐa monster that continually has to be tamed, so that it serves us rather than devours us. We can't do without it, neither can we ever trust it.2 Fiji experienced the whole gamut of emotions over the course of a fateful 2006. The year ended on an unsettled note, as it had begun. Fiji was yet again caught in a political quagmire of its own making, hobbled by manufactured tensions, refusing to heed the lessons of its recent tumultuous past, and reeling from the effects of the coup. Ironies abound. A Fijian army confronted a Fijian government, fuelling the indigenous community's worst fears about a Fijian army spilling Fijian blood on Fijian soil. The military overthrow took place 19 years to the day after frustrated coup-maker of 1987 Sitiveni Rabuka had handed power back to Fiji's civilian leaders, Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau and Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, paving the way for the eventual return to parliamentary democracy. The 2006 coup, like the previous ones, deposed a democratically elected government. Perhaps more importantly, it peremptorily sidelined the once powerful cultural and social institutions of the indigenous community, notably the Methodist Church and the Great Council of Chiefs (GCC)3 ± severing with a startling abruptness the overarching influence they had exercised in national life.

24 June 2016 Excellency, I Refer to the Convention on Cluster
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 24 June 2016 Excellency, I refer to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), which entered into force on 1 August 2010. The Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibits the use, development, production, stockpiling, retaining and transfer of cluster munitions, establishes deadlines for the destruction of stockpiled cluster munitions and clearance of unexploded sub-munitions and contains robust provisions on assistance to cluster munition survivors. I welcome the fact that 100 States have become parties to the Convention since its adoption in 2008. I support all efforts aimed at achieving universal adherence to and full implementation of the provisions of the Convention. A widely supported and strictly implemented Convention would benefit the victims of cluster munitions and affected communities, save lives and prevent enormous human suffering. I would therefore like to encourage your country to consider, without delay, becoming a party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions. By joining the Convention, your country would contribute significantly to the strengthening of international humanitarian law in the interests of promoting international security and preserving human life. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Fiji Elections: Bainimarama Rebuked but Returned
Published on November 16, 2018 Officials at work in the results centre for the Fiji election (Credit: ABC News/Michael Barnett) Fiji elections: Bainimarama rebuked but returned By Stewart Firth Fiji went to the polls on 14 November in its second election since the restoration of democracy in 2014. Fiji’s experience with democracy since independence in 1970 has been a tortured one. Three coups have interrupted democratic government in the last thirty years – in 1987, 2000 and 2006 – and the last was followed by eight years of military Link: https://devpolicy.org/fiji-elections-20181116/ Page 1 of 6 Date downloaded: September 30, 2021 Published on November 16, 2018 rule, with Frank Bainimarama as self-appointed Prime Minister. Bainimarama then led his Fiji First party to victory in the 2014 elections and became the elected Prime Minister under a constitution of his own devising. A kind of stability has since settled on Fiji, though the country has not returned to democracy in its fullest sense, that is with a fully independent judiciary and media. Instead, people who cast their vote on 14 November knew that unless they returned the Bainimarama Government, another coup was possible. The victory of Bainimarama’s Fiji First party was predicted in the polls and likely given the arithmetic of Fiji elections. With a large majority of Indo-Fijians supporting him, Bainimarama needed only to gain the backing of a minority of indigenous Fijians to win. Indo-Fijian voters remain grateful to Bainimarama for overturning a pro-indigenous Fijian government in the 2006 coup, and for abolishing Fiji’s racially-skewed system of voting under which race was a key category.

Dragoman Digest. 28.08.2020
Dragoman Digest. 28.08.2020 Australia’s trade with China – back in the spotlight China looks to be making efforts to diversify away from reliance on Australia Last week China announced it would open an anti-dumping investigation into Australian wine exports, reigniting debate over the two countries’ trading relationship. Fortunately for the Australian economy, exports of iron ore and coal – worth AU$63 billion and AU$14 billion in 2018/19, respectively – have thus far not been affected by political tensions. Exports of coking and thermal coal increased in the first half of the year, while iron ore exports hit a record high in June. However, China appears to be making efforts to wean itself away from reliance on Australian natural resources. In June, a Chinese-backed consortium won preliminary approval to develop the Simandou mine in Guinea – the world’s largest untapped source of iron ore. China has also made other investments in Liberia and Sierra Leonne and recently opened up four new domestic ports for so called ‘Chinamax’ ships – potentially paving the way for additional iron shipments from Africa and Brazil. China is pushing ahead to develop Thar Block-I, Pakistan’s largest coalfield. Developing these mines and the necessary infrastructure will of course take considerable time. Political instability remains a challenge in most of these countries and it is unclear whether these new sources of coal and iron ore will be competitive with Australian exports on price and quality. Nonetheless, China’s infrastructure building spree and reliance on coal will not last forever. Policymakers may eventually need to grapple with the possibility that Chinese demand for Australia’s resources is not inexhaustible.

The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

Coup D'etat Events, 1946-2012
COUP D’ÉTAT EVENTS, 1946-2018 CODEBOOK Monty G. Marshall and Donna Ramsey Marshall Center for Systemic Peace July 25, 2019 Overview: This data list compiles basic descriptive information on all coups d’état occurring in countries reaching a population greater than 500,000 during the period 1946-2018. For purposes of this compilation, a coup d’état is defined as a forceful seizure of executive authority and office by a dissident/opposition faction within the country’s ruling or political elites that results in a substantial change in the executive leadership and the policies of the prior regime (although not necessarily in the nature of regime authority or mode of governance). Social revolutions, victories by oppositional forces in civil wars, and popular uprisings, while they may lead to substantial changes in central authority, are not considered coups d’état. Voluntary transfers of executive authority or transfers of office due to the death or incapacitance of a ruling executive are, likewise, not considered coups d’état. The forcible ouster of a regime accomplished by, or with the crucial support of, invading foreign forces is not here considered a coup d’état. The dataset includes four types of coup events: successful coups, attempted (failed) coups, coup plots, and alleged coup plots. In order for a coup to be considered “successful” effective authority must be exercised by new executive for at least one month. We are confident that the list of successful coups is comprehensive. Our confidence in the comprehensiveness of the coup lists diminishes across the remaining three categories: good coverage (reporting) of attempted coups and more questionable quality of coverage/reporting of coup plots (“discovered” and alleged).
