CRYING WITH THE COUPIST: Who is Rabuka apologizing to with his trademark TABUA? He is apologizing to his cheering fans in SODELPA who have been conned into believing that the lay preacher is the saviour

REMORSELESS RABUKA ON BAVADRA'S DEATH: 'On 3 November [1989] Dr Bavadra died after a long battle with cancer. Rabuka's reaction, he recalls, was to FEEL GOOD that his enemy was gone, for a major obstacle had been removed by his death. Bavadra's death confirmed for Rabuka the rightness of his action in May 1987' -

Major-General Sitiveni Rabuka

REMORSELESS: Rabuka saw Dr Bavadra's death as 'good riddance' which paved way for him to impose his 1990 racist Constitution, which Adi Kuini Bavadra (pictured up) condemned in the strongest language. Now, Rabuka with his wife at his side, is saying he will not step down as new SODELPA leader

VICTOR LAL to SODELPA supporters abusing him: "Where was Sitiveni Rabuka after the 2006 coup? He was nowhere to be seen or being heard, defending democracy, free press or human, religious or indigenous rights. I stood up, and continue to do so, for the silent majority in Fiji; my response to SODELPA abusers is the same as what I wrote in 2001 after the George Speight's failed coup (see below):

When the very first part of the series [The Rise and Fall of the Chaudhry Government] appeared [in the Daily Post], I received several abusive and death-threatening e-mails from cowards writing under pseudo names. They accused me of peddling the aims and objectives of the Fiji Labour Party (FLP). To my detractors, I would like to inform you that I have never been a member of the FLP nor have voted for them in my life. I am not a banner wielding and ‘messianic fan’ of the deposed Prime Minister Mahendra Pal Chaudhry. He is partly to be blamed for the mess that we are in, but as we have argued in these columns, for totally different reasons. As I had pointed out elsewhere, in response to my ‘misguided countryman’, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola, and other like-minded individuals, who attacked me last year for my repeated calls for multi-party democracy in Fiji, I come from a political family who had carried in its veins the multi-racial philosophies of the Alliance Party, which I now find was a great sham and a cover to keep the other non-Fijian races out of political power. In fact, the Alliance Party’s concept of multi-racialism, where power and privilege was to ultimately rest in the hands of the Fijian chiefly families, and the Fijian political elite, had failed to produce a truly multi-racial, multi-cultural, and multi-religious Fiji. As regard to e-mails, I also received an overwhelmingly constructive ones. There were some, especially from the Fijian readers, which claimed that Fiji’s Fijian problems are the result of the over representation of ‘outlander Fijians’-those hailing from the outer islands-who dominate every aspect of our daily lives: in the civil service, the army and the machinery of government. These people do not speak the languages of the ethnic minorities, have no first-hand experience of multi-racial living and multi-racial suffering, and in some instances had never seen what a ‘live’ Indo-Fijian or Chinese or European or for that matter another Fijian, looked like in real life. Once they arrive on the mainlands, whether as politicians, workers, students, or businessmen, they want to jump the system to achieve everything in the shortest possible time, ‘by hook or crook’. It is these people, the Fijian e-mails claimed, who have caused the greatest suffering to the Fijian people, the nation and the non-Fijian races. Some even unjustly claimed that most of the criminality taking place against the Indo-Fijians throughout Fiji are the handiwork of these ‘outlander Fijians’. A former Fijian soldier even claimed that one could draw the parallels with the plight of the Indo-Fijian villagers to that of the Bosnians: where Serbs from outside Bosnia were in the forefront of rape, hate, murder, looting and burning of the entire Bosnian nation. These Serbs had only one thing in common: an imagined notion of community. Many who came to occupy the Bosnian homes, steal their cars and cows, rape their daughters, and murder their sons, had never set foot on the Bosnian soil. They had never contributed by sweat, toil, or tears to the development of Bosnia. They had come with one mission in life: the advancement of a greater Serbia, to fulfil the dreams of the Serbian dictator Milosevic, the President of Serbia. It was pure ethnic cleansing based on race hatred, ignorance, and jealousy. We are not qualified to comment on this aspect of the so-called ‘Fijian Problem’ because we have not made a detailed study on the matter but all we can say is that George Speight is not an ‘outlander’. He is however of mixed ancestry. We would also like to remind the e-mail readers that there are ‘outlander Fijians’ who have made enormous contribution to our nation, and continue to fight for an all inclusive Fiji. Both, George Speight-now lounging on Nukultraz Island, and I [from my mother's side of the family], hail from Tailevu; in fact, they lived a stone’s throw from each other, and I have many happy memories playing with the children of his village. Most of my ancestors are buried around the village. Speight and I however have never met. We are products of two different generations and two competing visions of Fiji and its beautiful peoples of all races. His mission is to destroy Fiji. My vision is to re-build our beautiful Fiji."

Watching the video of Rabuka's apology and the Tui Cakau's speech in receiving Rabuka's ubiquitous Tabua and seeing some signs of emotion from the enrapted SODELPA fans several thoughts passed through my mind. First, I can understand the reason now Ratu Isoa Tikoca stood down at the 11th hour from contesting the leadership. As a well connected chief whose mother is from Bau and wife from the chiefly family of Verata I am thankful that Tailevu and Kubuna were not part of that ceremony, Ratu Idoa was right to step down. Politics is part of the secular world, The Vanua is seperate. The problem with SODELPA is that it wants to mix the two and this is wrong. The Vanua is a spititual construct; politics is a market place of competing ideas. Rabuka epitomises a contradiction. He carries a Tabua around in his brief case because the universe he sees is a Vanua one. This is naive or else manipulative for he like other Fijians who embraced the secular system has profited from engaging with the modern secular world. The future of indigenous Fijians lies in the secular modern world, the Vanua and its Chiefs should remain in the intrinsic world. Jesus recognised this dichotomy 2000 years ago when he said give unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's and unto the Lord what is the Lord's. The British recognised this when they created a House of Lords for their chiefs and a House of Commons for the cut and thrust of the political world, I believe from watching the video the best thing for SODELPA is for the Tui Cakau and the MB the RTD to step down and return to the Vanua to fulfill their chiefly role. The future of the party is represented not by them but by the group that walked out, Mick Beddoes, Peter Waqavonovono, Bill Gavoka. Ratu Isoa Tikoca, the Gaunavinaka Report Group, etc

What if a new breakaway political party is stood up around the likes of those unhappy with recent political machinations within SODELPA and other parties + those who missed out in 2014 eg the GMB RTD, Tupou D, Pio Tikoduadua, Adi Eci Kikau, Linda Tabuya, Roshika Deo, Felix Anthony etc?

They would offer another multi-racial alternative to the FFP and the 'So Help Me God' Party.

Just thinking, aye!

Suddenly, the very people who were staunch supporters of Fiji Leaks has turned abusive towards Victor. This just goes to show the hypocracy of the human race. Bainimarama's coup is unacceptable to them but rabuka coup was alright..double standards and double faced skunks

That is why we keep reading Fijileaks - "I have not come to praise Ceaser but to BURY him"

Keep it up!

Now Mr Rabuka wants to make a come back. Really appreciate it but hey , wake up Fiji ... There are many broken people still out there from what he and his regime has done. I stand with the late Dr Bavadra and his quote " forgive , yes BUT to forget No" . Better pray hard that he will prove the people wrong this time and bring real change and real democracy to Fiji.
