AIYAZ KHAIYUM: Seditious activities will ruin Fiji and create economic instability; he was responding to the arrest of scores of native Fijians now facing sedition charges but he should know history of SEDITION!

“And any responsible Government or Party needs to say that any destabilisation is not good for the country. Everything is under control but the fact is that destabilisation is not good for the country. Any political party which is interested in the progress of this country needs to condemn such activities. These people are of course innocent unless proven guilty but it does not mean that a Party cannot comment that any form of destabilisation is bad for the country.” - Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum attacking other political parties

AIYAZ SAYED KHAIYUM has come full circle. He first came to our attention in 1987, and later in 1988, notably as a member of The Democracy 18, a group of 18 (not all Indo-Fijians) who publicly defied coupster Sitiveni Rabuka's decrees and protested in Suva's Sukuna Party on 14 May 1988. He, along with the other protesters, was arrested and locked up at the Suva police station. The protesters were bailed the next day, Sunday, and on Monday fronted court. They were all subjected to degrading treatment when an old police truck was parked outside their cells and the engine revered so that smoke pumped into their police cells.

The Bomb-Maker of 10 Bakshi Street


On 14 May 1987 Rabuka and his racist henchmen (including two present Bainimarama/Khaiyum regime Cabinet Ministers Ratu Inoke Kubuaobla and Filipe Bole) had turned the lives of Indo-Fijians upside down; to be precise, the coup happened 108 years to the day when their Indian indentured labourer ancestors had arrived in Fiji on 14 May 1879. The young Khaiyum was then a trainee television producer at the Kerry Packer Channel Nine-owned Television Fiji office on Gordon Street.
Unlike native Fijians who melted away after the 2006 coup, the Indo-Fijians and their sympathizers were a well-organized and determined group after the 1987 coups. It was agreed to take the fight to Rabuka and his regime, even if it meant bloodshed and violence on a large scale. We are well aware of the tons of weapons - The Guns of Lautoka - that was shipped to Fiji to overthrow the Rabuka government. Hardly anything is known about Khaiyum and his bombers.

During the early stages of the coup, the Indo-Fijian opponents of the coup needed a 'coalition of the willing', to borrow a political phrase used to describe collective participants who came together to topple dictator Saddam Hussein. Khaiyum came forward and took charge of making homemade bombs, from his garden shed at Bakshi Street in Suva.

Aiyaz Khaiyum was "the bomb-maker" and Victor Lal "the arms shipper" to overthrow the Rabuka government! Blood is thicker than water. We i-taukei must learn from these two and the Shameem sisters to fight for our rights otherwise just shut up.

Aiyaz Khaiyum is absolutely correct when he states that destabilisation is not good for the country, yet he turns a blind eye to corruption, cronyism and abuse of power, which are also not good for the country and will cause ongoing problems for Fiji, in short it destabilises the country day by day.

Nothing new, Aiyaz Kaiyum. Seditious activities which has also resulted in overthorw of governments have been a feature in Fiji and is likely continue as the environment condusive to such activities remain.

It is not a matter of condemning such activities from various circles, it is really a matter of getting the governance right. Just as much as he felt aggreived in 1987 to engage in seditious activities , there are people under the same situation under his rein. Unlike in 1987 , Kaiyum is now seen as the oppresser. Address the causes, Kaiyum. He should know better what leads one to seditious activities.

Investor confidence is low and businesses are suffering. Voters who voted for security are panicking. The onus is on Kaiyum to make things right. Manouvered statements and finger pointing will not help.

Whilst I agree with what you say about the pre- conditions existing for seditious activities to continue in Fiji I disagree with your view that the " onus is on Kaiyum to make things right".
That is a false expectation. Khaiyum came to power by crooked criminal means and he staged managed the elections with an imposed constitution to hold onto power. This master manipulator is not about doing the right thing or making things right.

What about Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum and Frank Bainimarama and their gang's seditious activities and the unlawful takeover of power in 2006 was that good for the country to rape democracy , trash the constitution and subvert the rule of law and cower the media into being a timid, toothless entity in Fiji?

The couple De tat was in 2009 not in 2006. The change in government in 2006 was the same as 1977 when the NFP won the elections but the crooked Alliance party and equally crooked Governor General decided to hand over power to the losing party.
A coup is only a coup when the constitution is abrogated.

When did the Pinochet' coup take place? According to Wikipedia " Pinochet assumed power in Chile following a United States backed coup d'état on 11 Sepetmber 1973 that overthrew the elected socialist Unidad Popular government of President Salvadore Allende and ended civilian rule ".
Wasn't civilian rule in Fiji ended on 5 December 2006 when Bainimarama overthrew the elected government of Qarase?
Just seeking a further clarification, vinaka.

' Nepotism still exists, A -G says ' Fiji Times 21/08. A-G Aiyaz Khaiyum says nepotism still exists in the private sector and state entities. So what paradigm change did the fictitious " clean up " coup you Khaiyum and Bainimarama carry out with your seditious activities bring about?
In fact you and Bainimarama engaged in nepotism big time after your coup as documented in various Fijileaks reports. What lying hypocrites!

KAVITA has hit the nail fair and square on the head in everything "She" has said. The Prime Minister has it in his power to put things right and restore confidence in his administration. Fiji has never had this number of people charge with sedition, the very fact that the army are seeking out illicit arms in the country should send a message to the Prime Minister that the man he is leaving in charge of the country so often, is doing nothing to improve the situation.

In 1987 Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum fought for democracy.
In 2006 Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum joined the Dictatorship in Fiji.
What an arsehole!

In 1987 when he was fighting for democracy following the racist Rabuka military coup Aiyaz Khaiyum was a public spirited citizen.
In 2006 when he teamed up with Bainimarama to impose dictatorial rule in Fiji Aiyaz Khaiym had become a selfish, self- centred, self-serving pig driven only by private greed for power and paisa.

Editor,
We read in Professor Desmond Manderson's article ' The real vigilantes are in the Abbot government ' ( Canberra Times 21/8 ) that " Prime Minister Tony Abbot (is) leader of a ' vigilante ' government ".
According to Prof. Manderson's in the original English definition " a vigilante is someone who thinks they are entitled to break the law in order to achieve their self- righteous ends ".
professor Manderson's is an ARC Future Fellow jointly appointed in the ANU College of Law and the Humanities Research Centre at the ANU.
Read the article to discover why the Abbot government has been described as a vigilante government.
Guess who else can be described as the leader of a vigilante government?
Yes it's our old friend Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum and his political protector Frank Bainimarama.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

Khaiyum should be the last person to lecture accountants on basic accounting principles.He ought to review his own stand in 1988.In normal circumstances neither Bai nor Khai would have been where they have placed themselves.They have no shame,no respect and are sworn and ridiculed in the blogs day day out,yet they are clinging to power shamelessly.On sedition charges,the police and army both have not been able to get a lead on any of the sightings they claim.It makes the nation wonder the quality of intelligence both the security forces have.With 63 people in custody,the hunt or the witch hunt continues for the weapons.Ridiculously unreliable and sheer nonsense.

If " Navy Boy " Frank Bainimarama was in charge of the joint police and military command at the Central Police Station in 1987 when the 18 pro- democracy dissidents who were locked up there were deliberately gassed by fumes from a truck - the question is who gave the order to gas them?
Who should be held responsible for this TORTURE?

The fact remains that Bai/Kai reign came into being only through the ‘barrel of the gun’- through sedition and treason. These two criminals are presently sheltered under the sulu of their ‘immunity clauses’ from their flimsy, IMPOSED and FRAUD 2013 Constitution of Fiji.

Like Rabuka’s imposed 1990 constitution, the 2013 Constitutions suffers from a crisis of legitimacy, lacks the prerequisite ‘will of the People’ of Fiji and the historical saga of its despotic style composition and imposition on the People are apparent to all and sundry.

The consequent gerrymandering of 2014 elections by Bai/kai have cruised the two into enjoying some ‘mandate’ of the Greedy, the corrupted, the bought (vote-buying), the naive (we are all Fijians) and the self-centered, self-enriching (Tappoos, Lalas and the Banos) - But that does not legitimize their past or the FRAUD 2013 Constitution.

The color of justice in Fiji is one adorned by GP in that picture above – Orange. Talk on sedition by a seditionist himself is self-defined.
Justice will be the day when Bai and Kai (and Gates) are garbed in color orange, until then all talk on sedition is just pussy-footing.

Editor,
When a brilliant lawyer can be ' Beaten by the politics ' as Jon McMillan tells us in his letter to The Age 24/08 it comes as no surprise to see how some of our mob got beaten by the politics - they can't even be described as brilliant lawyers .
Jon writes and followers of Fiji politics since the Bainimarama -Khaiyum takeover ( see Rustam's comment above ) will have no problem seeing the parrallels .
" Spooner's superb caricature ( 22/8) of a trussed and glowering Dyson Heydon, points to the eminent jurist's self- inflicted tragedy. In a nation bereft of public intellects, the royal commissioner is now labelled " a stooge " and pursued by TV crews eager to humiliate a " tall poppy ". Why, it has to be asked, did this " black letter " judge accept Tony Abbot's offer to head a royal commission , which, from the outset, was obviously a partisan political instrument aimed at the Union movement? Wouldn't he, as a long time trenchant critic of " judicial activism " have been aware that such commissions are now routinely conducted for short- term political ends? Perhaps, ironically, Justice Heydon's trajectory resembles the career of Sir Garfield Barwick, the subject of the lecture that has caused his troubles, a brilliant lawyer with mediocre political instincts".
The mob we have are mediocre lawyers with self- serving political instincts.
They have brought their noble profession into disrepute.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
Sydney.

Well look who's talking, AK-47 accusing a couple people of sedition when he himself and his puppet Frankie have been responsible for a previous one that they got away with and treason also.

These daring revolutionaries seem determined to do something about it and may have done so but were somehow ratted out.

Bhaiyum is lucky that their decrees prevent them from facing true justice, not to mention how fond they are of not actually practicing what they claim to preach.
