Touch Pacific - Fiji

Preface

Fiji is cruising towards political isolation in the Pacific region as its defiant military leader  Frank Bainimarama - who took power over two years ago - refuses to call an election. He now has until 1 May to call a vote that would reinstate a democracy. Otherwise Fiji will be suspended from the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), the political union of 16 countries in the region.
