Democratic future fades for Fiji

A Spanish proverb says: “Se puede decir mas alto pero no mas claro” (you can say it louder but not clearer). We usually say that when things are so clear that no more words are needed.

This article explains the situation in Fiji briefly & clear: Democratic future fades for Fiji

This morning, within 2 hours, the Fijian dollar has been devaluated by 20%.

Fijians woke up even poorer than they went to sleep. And… no reaction yet?

A guy does a coup d’etat 2 years ago and… no reaction?

The guy declares the coup d’etat legal and… no reaction?

The guy absolves the Constitution and declares himself (not directly but almost…) President and… no reaction?

The guy doesn’t care -and explicitly openly says that he doesn’t care- of the International community penalties including trade & tourism bans and… no reaction?

Everyone (local & international community) agrees that just the Fijian people could do something to change the situation and… still… no reaction?

What are they waiting for?
