Also vinaka ragone for your letters and notes and snippets of information. Suzie of Valelevu, your information has been passed to the person you wanted it to go to. Melinda, I will get in touch with you later on today.
To Vili, Anon 1 & 2, Kelikeli and Cokaniuto I will email you today and we can talk about your suggestions. Thanks for the photos sent in people and keep them coming. For up to the minute news, please see the Coup 4.5 News Blog. For a great synopsis of the current situation see Michael Field's commentary here.

Right behind you D-Bu. Onwards & Upwards with the people power folks.
Vinaka DeBu for the link to Michael's interview. Strong stuff, and what a hoot to see Vore's rank incompetence described in such clear terms. If only the Military Council would turn their backs on him!
Nice chatting with you earlier today. Keep up the great work.
God bless Fiji
