Al Nusra militant commander kept to his Islamic vow and freed Fijian soldiers; their commander Captain Rabuka had allowed the militants to march through the UN Zone on their way to battle in Quneitra!

THE first militant on the left in the video is the spokesperson of the Al Nusra battalion. In the video he explained that the second militant to his right had given the Fijian soldiers "a promise of sanctuary". The soldiers were captured during the battle of Quneitra, situated on the line dividing Syria from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

The commander leading the battle was the second militant. When they were marching through Quneitra they tried to avoid marching through the UN zone. But heavy casualties were inflicted upon them, so the commanders in the field informed the second militant that there was no other way but to pass through the UN post.

The  second militant then went and negotiated with the Fijian troop commander Captain Savenaca Siwatibau Rabuka on 28 August and explained the situation and gave an Islamic oath of undertaking that the Fijians will not be captured and that they will not be considered prisoners of war.

Rabuka conferred with the Indian commander of UNDOF who  gave him the OK to pass through the Fijian manned zone. The militants battle was successful but the second militant learned a couple of days later that the  Fijian soldiers had been captured by Al Nusra.

He  immediately notified the leaders of what had happened, confirming to them that he gave his Islamic oath that they would not be captured or considered prisoners of war.  So they conferred with Sheikh Al Fattah - the grand sheikh of Al Nusra (Supreme commander/Leader) who replied that as a Muslim, the  vow of honour must be respected and if one of our brethren/leaders, had given such a vow, then it must be honoured.

Accordingly, arrangements were being made and co-ordinations undertaken to hand the soldiers back. The first militant explained that all rumours that had been circulating through the internet/social media/Fiji and international government sites that Al Nusra had formally requested to be removed from the terrorist list organizations etc were false.

They had not asked for such thing. They did not want to be perceived as a bargaining chip. Nor had the Bainimarama government done anything to secure the release of the soldiers. Their release was in response to the second militant's 'Islamic promise' to Rabuka.

On hearing the release of her husband, Fulori Rabuka told Fiji media she thanked God. She should thank the second militant in the video who kept to his promise - neither Bainimarama nor Robin Nair, Aiyaz Khaiyum and Mosese Tokitoga Fisher deserve credit.

Mrs Rabuka said: "I cried out to the Lord and said Lord you know where they are, you are seeing them right now. And it was not human intervention but all God's work that enabled the soldiers to come through. It was a good time as well for us to reflect on our lives. And I know God did not put them there for nothing. They were there for a purpose. There was a pastor who was here counselling us, he asked me the same thing and I said talatala, there was no other officer appointed from the RFMF to be there at the time. He must have a purpose for my husband. It was very comforting to know and believe that God's ways are not our ways."

The two militants who posted their Al Nusra video of the captured soldiers and allowed Captain Rabuka to speak also, inadvertently, or if we are to accept that  'God was at Play', did us a great favour - the former Fiji Sun publisher Russell Hunter was able to recognize Rabuka as one of his kidnappers in 2008.

I like that picture of the fijian soldiers sitting crosslegged on the ground while their captors strut about. remember the Fijian soldiers under the Dictator's command did that to Fiji citizens after the coup at the military camps in Nabua and Lautoka etc. that's getting a taste of their own medicine.

Heroes fight or resist not surrender. Seeing the soldiers in army uniform sitting on the ground in formation and the two old casually clothed captors looks ironic as the army is suppose to possess power yet they succumb to weak looking opponents. This is no sign of being heroes.

This is what a citizen said about the Australian PM Tony Abbot - an elected PM. He said " SBS News stated, in relation to Barack Obama's announcement of involvement in a new war : " It is not known what role Mr Abbot will play in this". It is obvious - a sycophant". And, the media here felt free to publish what he said ( Letters The Age 13/9).
Now can the citizens of Fiji say anything like that about their UNELECTED PM? And, can the media in Fiji feel free to publish that? No because the media in Fiji remains a lamusona media sucking up to the dictator pretending to be prime minister.
What the media can publish is a good reflection of how free the society is. And, it is obvious Fiji remains a pretty unfree society under the Bainimarama- Khaiyum dictatorship.

another thing that is pretty obvious from the photo of the just released Fijian soldiers is that they have been into grog big time.

the Bullshit King talks about the discipline and integrity of the Fijian soldiers in the UN. where was the discipline and integrity when under this thugs command the Fijian soldiers bullied, terrorised, tortured and killed Fijian citizens and fellow Fijian soldiers?

seeing the Fijian soldiers sitting quietly on the dirt ground like that they really look a very disciplined force! that's a far cry from seeing them march arrogantly in the streets back home with all their fancy military gear to "impress" (read intimidate) an unarmed civilian population.
