WOLVES IN SHEEP'S Sulus: Rabuka claimed that he was a lone wolf who carried out the coup but his co-conspirator Inoke Kubuabola contradicted him saying the final decision to mount the coup was "taken in my office at the Bible Society with Rabuka"; we must monitor the Society's activities, now that Rabuka is SODELPA leader, and there are talks that Kubuabola could be offered a SODELPA poll ticket.A SMALL crowd gathered at the Ratu Sukuna Park this morning to mark the launch of the Bible week organised by the Bible Society of the South Pacific. The launch included Christians from all denominations in the country. Society general secretary Solomoni Duri said the bible society knows the spiritual needs of people and its mission is to make available the scriptures to everyone who wants it. "I think the world especially here in Fiji, it's like going into a big shopping mall, many people are looking for things to satisfy their needs and wants and people cannot find that satisfaction," Mr Duri said. "What we are saying is the things that matter is the needs of the inner man, and the word of God meets that. It (Scriptures) has done that in the past, now and in the future too." Source: The Fiji Times, 24 June 2017 IRONICALLY, Rabuka exploited the political HINDU MOB - the NFP leader Jai Ram Reddy and FLP leader Mahendra Chaudhry - to keep himself relevant on the political scene until his election defeat in 1999; they had refused to take heed of Dr Tupeni Baba's warning that "Rabuka's approach at the expense of others will bring instability to Fiji with his unpredictable utterances and demands"; in 1992 Rabuka was desperately seeking NFP and FLP support, to become Prime Minister. In the end it was Chaudhry and his FLP MPs votes that elevated Rabuka to the Prime Ministership in 1992. The HINDU MOB changed sides (for and against) Rabuka in the 1999 election, and in 2017 Chaudhry has changed sides, again, this time siding with SODELPA leader and coupist Rabuka And another former staunch FLP supporter and businessman, Satish Kumar, crosses over to a NEW party calling itself UNITY. Adi Sivia Qoro, another former FLP Cabinet Minister before the 2006 coup, is now one of the founding members of Unity Fiji party, with Savenaca Narube, the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji
