'You have removed this cancer from our country': Ukraine former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko addresses protesters in Independence Square after release from prisonFormer Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has been hailed by thousands of opposition supporters in Independence Square in the heart of Kiev after being freed from prison. She addressed the crowds there from her wheelchair. "You are heroes, you are the best of Ukraine," she told the vast crowd before breaking down in tears. She was speaking after President Viktor Yanukovych had left the capital Kiev and MPs voted to impeach him. But she warned that the protesters should not think their job was done. "Until you finish this job and until we travel all the way, nobody has the right to leave," she said. "Because nobody could do it - not other countries, nobody - could do what you have done. We've eliminated this cancer, this tumour.": BBC World News | |

I have been following your country because the ousted Foreign Minister of Ukraine was a friend of your dictator.

What has happened in Ukraine is the same as the ousting of the Chodory government in 2000 by George Speight and supporters. It is evident that if you don't like a democratically elected government you just protest and take over government. At least Fiji is on par with the rest of the world.

What has happened in Ukraine is the same as what happened in the year 2000 in Fiji when people didn't like a government they protested and burnt buildings in the capital. Thank you George Speight and CRW for showing the world how to do it. Itaukei didn't like Chodory government which was democratically elected as in Ukraine and when on a burning and protest spree and even ambushed and killed members of the RFMF and Fiji police. Now SODELPA has all those itaukei nationalists, CAMV and itaukei movement people. Support SODELPA and support what's happening in Ukraine means you support George Speight and the events of the year 2000 in Fiji.
