Pressure from within Fiji against the junta too weak
December 2, 2008
It has to take another woman to tell Fiji’s sleeping majority that not even the international community can solve Fiji’s problem. The lady head of the European fact-finding group is so true in reminding Fiji that more pressure is required from within if Fiji is really serious in doing away with coupsters.
The problem with the Fijian attitude is that they are so full of ideas and opinions but lack the action required to effect the change they want. They rely too much on others to do the dirty job for them and they hide behind their false humility and Fiji time to cover-up their inaction.
We’ve observed with much sadness how the women folks in Fiji continue to push for democracy in peaceful but effective ways while the menfolks carry on with their grumblings over a bowl of grog leaving the poor women to go to war on their behalf (with the exception of the brave Vilisi, Taoi, Kinivuwai and only a handful of others).
So what’s wrong with these Fijian men? It seems they are all pussies meowing and scratching from the back. C’mon guys, let’s play our part and be real men for once. The ladies have done more than enough. It is now our turn to take Fiji out of the mess the menfolks have taken it into. Otherwise, we are not worth the air we breath and the soil we’re standing on!!
Do Not Be Afraid To Stand Up For What Is Right…
On this day when we remember the great Dr. King, let us not forget others who stood up to the powers that be and demanded change. Whether it was equal rights – in Dr. King’s case – or freedom of speech or even environmental protection. Yes, protesting and challenging authority has it’s risks, but the question you must ask yourself is: “Am I brave enough to stand up for my beliefs even if they cause me to be arrested, persecuted or even killed?” I know one man who said “Yes, yes I am!”(by Streeter Seidell)
Lets do it Fiji!!
Protesting and challenging authority has its risks, but the question one must ask oneself is: “Am I brave enouugh to stand up for my beliefs even if they cause me to be arrested, persecuted or even killed?” -Streeter Seidell-
Can we in Fiji do this and take the extra step? That is the real question!
I suppose the value one places in democracy, or freedom, or justice will determine one’s course of action.
Is it fair then to suggest that the current inaction in Fiji is indicative of the real value we place in these principles?
Determine the value for yourself, Fiji!!
