In standing up to their military the Turkish people (especially a violent mob) have at last broken with the past and tamed the army -

Where were people of Fiji when 1987, 2000 and 2006 happened? Guess we should learn from Turks how to stop a coup.

In 1987, the itaukei people were presenting their sevusevu to the coup leader at the Army camp !!

Turkish Islamists have won the day. This is no course for celebration and comparing Fiji and Turkish coups is simplistic and naive.

Yes really there is no course to compare the Fiji coups and Turkish coup. Turkish soldiers had tanks, and helicopters and even jet fighters. What Fijian ladyboy soldiers had was M-16s and K-2 sub-machine guns with some gernade launchers.

The people of Turkey were responding to a speech from the President who encouraged them to pour into the streets. In Fiji neither the President nor the Prime Minister had the wits or the gall to do that.

Flooding the streets with supporters for a political end as occurred in Turkey is not new in Fiji. Alliance Party activists like Ratu Inoke Kubuabola coordinating with Rabuka in the military camp used mass marches in Lautoka and Suva to legitimise a coup. After the coup Rabuka flooded the streets of prisoners and Taukei Movement thugs to "march" to government house with a petition written by the military to hand to the President and scare innocent citizens into accepting Rabuka and his new 'reality.'
