Diplomacy is one skill Jone Dakuvula doesn’t have!
President’s Political Dialogue Forum coordinator Jone Dakuvula must think we, the people of Fiji, will believe anything we’re told.
The fundamental principle about putting out a line for public consumption, a principle which Dakuvula clearly doesn’t understand, is that what ever is being stated needs to at least sound credible.
So, pretending that Fiji is not a dictatorship and that political reform will go ahead without the main political players at the table is not going to wash with anyone.
But that’s obviously not what Dakuvula thinks. Or is it?
Quite frankly, his talk about the regime’s correspondence with the United Nations and the Commonwealth is pure nonsense.
We suspect he fully realizes that participation by either or both of those international bodies in any sort of mediation role would be strictly conditional on all the main players in Fiji having a role.
But we know (and Dakuvula knows) that his boss, the dictator, will not allow that to happen, which is why Dakuvula’s feeble attempt to make it look as though some serious work is going on falls flat on its face.
Like Dakuvula himself, his clumsy efforts at diplomacy are a joke.
