“Thumbs up for Democracy”
Fellow Citizens of Fiji
Firstly I call upon Khayum and Bainimarama to end the Public Emergency Regulation (PER). If they are doing good a job, as they say, they have nothing to fear. The papers will sing their praises and the public will only march in support of the illegal military junta. Why then are they too scared to remove PER? The military junta won’t remove PER because they know without it they would be driven from power by the voices of the people.
I have received so much support from both inside and outside Fiji, I know that the time is right for Khayum and his puppet to step down. Frank you were my commanding officer once. Now I am free to say these words. “You have been in charge for nearly 5 years, You talk about following a roadmap to true democracy in Fiji. Once again you are lost because Fiji is not heading anywhere for democracy because it is already a dictatorship. Instead of taking the country forward, the only direction you have lead Fiji is backwards. Now it is my duty to ask you to step aside and let the people of Fiji pick the Prime Minister they want. "
Over the coming weeks, I will travel the region to discuss with the Pacific leaders the real situation in Fiji and I will discuss the Roadmap on how we will return Fiji to democracy in the shortest time. Unlike your Roadmaps, it will be published within the next 2 weeks and not remain a mystery to the people years after being announced.
I have already started to talk to people who share my cause both inside and outside Fiji. Their support has been overwhelming and many are positively looking at their own contribution to bringing about democracy in Fiji.
I have also been touched by the emails, phone calls, and comments on the Internet. Thank you it means a lot to me that so many people say I am doing the right thing. Many of you are putting your faith in me to bring about the end of this military junta. I will not let you down.
Fellow Citizens Who Want Democracy, I want to ask you all to do one small thing for me. Whenever you meet your friends, your family and your colleagues I want you to give a “thumbs up for Democracy”. You will be doing nothing illegal you cannot be arrested by the police; you cannot be taken in by the military. But everywhere you go, smile at the people you meet in particular soldiers and policemen and give them the thumbs up, you will be moving Fiji ever closer to democracy.
Finally to the illegal government spokeswoman, as an Australian we welcome you back to our beloved country, having returned from five months of leave paid for by the taxpayers of my country it is about time you earned the money and started speaking the truth because Australia is certainly one of the best democratic countries in the world where it symbolizes freedom of individuals in particular freedom of speech, I now challenge you to convince the Junta to lift media censorship immediately. Otherwise we the citizens of Fiji would rather not hear nor see you misinforming us in the future.
Dear Coup 4.5
1) I am against coups. The 2006 coup has achieved none of its intended goal. In fact, it has done the opposite and turned Fiji into a dictatorship. As I have said before, I regret my part in the 2006 Coup.
2) I will return to Fiji and I will answer to the people for my part in the 2006 Coup.
3) I have no plans to be part of the caretaker Government that will replace Bainimarama and Khaiyum.
