FIGHT OR FLIGHT: Tikoitoga defends his half-brother and commanding Golan soldiers leader Loanakadavu who surrendered to Al-Nusra rebels

30/8/2014

“Commanders on the ground make the decision as per the situation they're faced with and I would fully support the decisions that he made on that day. And I think you would understand that with him on the ground and 44 men under his command, looking down the barrel with 200- 250 armed elements with 546 times more weaponry than they have, the questions running through the commanders mind was do I become a tiger and fight or do I become a cat and fight another day. And I think under those types of situations only the commanders on the ground can make those kinds of decisions” - Mosese Tikoitoga Fisher

Al-Nusra: Why We Seized Fijian Soldiers? To avenge "the brutal crimes and massacres of defenseless Muslims of elders, women and children."

The statement continues to say that the UN did not move a finger when crimes were being committed against Muslims. “In response to all of the above crimes and complicity of the United Nations against the Sham and his family, the Front victory detain 45 of the forces Disengagement Observer Force "UNDOF" of the United Nations, those forces that were imposed on the people of the Levant since 1974 to ensure the security and protection of the borders of the Zionist entity, the rapist to the homes of Muslims at the same time, completely ignored the blood of Muslims being shed daily on the other side of the border, and even colluded with the army Alnasiri and facilitated his movement to hit the vulnerable Muslims through what they call the "buffer zone" several times. We emphasise that the detainees is in a safe place, and in a healthy condition, and we provide them with what they need from food and treatment."

The questions stop at his door. Last year the UN Secretary-General had thanked Bainimarama for the speedy and expeditious deployment to the Golan Heights. He said this deployment was especially appreciated as it came at a time of great need. He expressed his hope that the Fijian personnel were adjusting well to the situation in the Golan Heights.

Bainimarama's men

Al-Nusra does have a point to make. The UNDOF appears not neutral but a subserviant to Israel for Israelis' protection to purported peace keeping for their protection and not for those muslims who died and were abused by those Israelis according to Al-Nusra.

So Fijian soldiers are part of that combat and therefore capture what appears to be a point to make to show they are capable of capturing and then releasing the captives, thus are not as nasty as those that the Fijians are there to protect.

Pray that they will not treat the Fijians as the enemy and no concession must go to Bainimarama if they are released unharmed.

Consider that Chinese are taking over their land, their resources so one day they may be protecting their own boarder for peace with China when they can't pay back Bainimarama's debts and surrender to China like a cat and not like a tiger as Moses Tikoitonga put it correctly!

But for now we shall pray for our men who are there desperate for making a quick dollar but families are destroted.

So... its a kilavata family in the military top tier. Sa rauta..

And a stupid comment, yet again, from Tikoitoga:

"Be a Cat AND Fight another day".

There will be no other day.

Moce Jo.

I agree with Commander
Only the commander on; the ground knows and understand the situation that they face that niight. I support the decision that he made that day.

The soldiers need our prayers and us criticize they for what has happen. So my plea to the nation of Fiji us put our hands together and pray for them coz only God can release them a life.

To our Soldiers – You are in our hearts and in our thoughts. We feel for your families and we pray for your safe and quick return to your loved ones. How unfortunate of you to have been caught-up in this dreadful situation of a WAR not of your making or concern.

We are hoping that our Government leaves not a single stone unturned in its diplomatic and other efforts in securing your quickest possible release and return home. In the meantime, we pray that you be Brave, Professional and Safe.

the foot soldiers of the Fiji Military have been used as military fodder by the top dogs in the Fiji Military both at home to carry out coups and bully the civilian population and abroad to serve the agenda of the UN - who then turn a blind eye to the abuses and repression and the curtailment of democratic rights and freedoms of the Fijian people .
The Fijian soldiers are mere pawns in other players political game.

The military bosses of whom bai was once the head did a reckless gamble and it blew in their faces with this fiasco. Money was the prime objective of this decision to send our soldiers to a danger zone which other countries have abandoned due to the risk it posed. Now the same military stooges are taken aback as it backfired with this event. So instead of reviewing its decision the army is considering sending another 44 pawn soldiers to face the same danger as their colleagues did. The thought of losing the UN money is overriding all other concerns that they are becoming irrational.

Military Trash Fund

Without UN Mission, there is not enough trashed funds deducted from these earnings to feed the military council's "unaudited" funds, hence do need to send in replacement 44 pawns to feed their fat bellies.

slaughtering innocent people is an evil thing to do no matter who is doing it - the Israeli State, the Islamic State, the United States, the Russian State, the Chinese State, the African States, the Latin American States, the Indian State, the Fijian State, the Capitalist State, the Communist State, the Totalitarian State, the Fascist State, the Nazi State .
Good men and women everywhere must stand up against such evil doing wherever it is happening.

the thug ruler pretend PM claims in his propaganda paper that his "government" has been about putting people first.
Now that's such a blatant and obscene lie.
It is well known who Bainimarama the "clean up" coup maker has been putting first ever since he grabbed power unlawfull 8 years ago.
He has been putting his mates in the military first by giving them all kinds of top posts - although he claimed no military personnel will benefit from his takeover( clear cases of the militarisation of the civilian administration). He has been putting his civilian political sidekicks and sycophants first (clear cases of favouritism). He has been putting his corporate backers first ( clear cases of corruption). he has been putting his own family, children first (clear cases of nepotism). this man is such a big shameless liar.

Bainimarama claims in the "new" and "better" Fiji which he and Khaiyum have been building for the last 8 years of their unlawful rule there is equal citizenry. why then is it that there are only native Fijians in the good money making UN peacekeeping deployment as seen in the above photo of the captured Fiji soldiers?

We should be sending in our abundant lot of (useless) ‘Major Generals’ and ‘Brigadiers’ and off-course, our world-famous ‘Rear Admiral’ (Pant-Shitter) to the RESCUE Mission and/or any prisoner exchange schemes.

The Rear Admirer, the PIG, drooling with GREED, in the meantime, is apparently very busy with his upcoming erection and couldn’t be bothered with this irritant Al’ Nusura who will be severely dealt with by our very own aunty NUR BANO’s nephew, Aiyaz Saddam-Khaiyum (The Minister of Everything in Fiji) Drafting a Decree Demanding an immediate release of our Soldiers and Declaring these terrorists – Al’Nusra, ILLEGAL.

To our Soldiers - Please kindly request the Al'Nusra Commanders to goggle Fijileaks so as to enable you guys to be updated about the change of Government in Fiji.

Also request if you may be allowed to VOTE for PDP/NFP/Sodelpa in your long denied democratic rights to regular elections.

You see everything is worth a try to get rid of the GREEDY PIGS presently in Power in our country - our very own TERRORISTS - who having put a whole country HOSTAGE and tortured for eight long years.

books for decoration link

Given that the Dictator cum self-appointed PM is a school dropout we should take it that all the big books we see behind him in the photo is only for decoration, just like all those medals on his chest.

The shocking early surrender of the soldiers is understandable considering their former boss is a proven coward and a record holder for cassava patch & all forms of plantation sprinting, enabled with the right persuasive odd bullet or so whizzing eagerly towards his direction. That traumatic experience probably played a major factor in the revision of the 'Rules of Engagement" for all RFMF personnel since then, shameful and demeaning it maybe. Here's what the 'Guardian'
Under cover of darkness, 40 Filipino peacekeepers escaped their besieged outpost in the Golan Heights on Sunday after a seven-hour gun battle with Syrian rebels. Al-Qaida-linked insurgents are still holding 44 Fijian troops captive.

The getaway, combined with the departure of another entrapped group of Filipino troops, marked a major step forward in a crisis that erupted on Thursday when Syrian rebels began targeting the peacekeeping forces. The United Nations security Ccouncil has condemned the assaults on the international troops monitoring the Syrian-Israeli frontier, and has demanded the unconditional release of those still in captivity.

The crisis began when Syrian rebels overran the Quneitra crossing located on the de facto border between Syrian- and Israeli-controlled parts of the Golan Heights on Wednesday. A day later, insurgents from the al-Qaida-affiliated Nusra Front seized the Fijian peacekeepers and surrounded their Filipino colleagues, demanding they surrender.

The Filipinos, occupying two UN encampments, refused and fought the rebels on Saturday. The first group of 35 peacekeepers was then successfully escorted out of a UN encampment in Breiqa by Irish and Filipino forces on board armoured vehicles.

The remaining 40 peacekeepers were besieged at the second encampment, called Rwihana, by more than 100 gunmen who rammed the camp's gates with their trucks and fired mortar rounds. The Filipinos returned fire in self-defense, Philippine military officials said.

At one point, Syrian government forces fired artillery rounds from a distance to prevent the Filipino peacekeepers from being overwhelmed, said Colonel Roberto Ancan, a Philippine military official who helped monitor the tense standoff from the Philippine capital, Manila, and mobilise support for the besieged troops.

"Although they were surrounded and outnumbered, they held their ground for seven hours," Philippine military chief General Gregorio Pio Catapang said, adding that there were no Filipino casualties. "We commend our soldiers for exhibiting resolve even while under heavy fire."

As night fell and a ceasefire took hold, the 40 Filipinos fled with their weapons, travelling across the chilly hills for nearly two hours before meeting up with other UN forces, who escorted them to safety early Sunday, Philippine officials said.

"We may call it the greatest escape," Catapang told reporters in Manila.

What are Fijians doing in Syria?what about self determinationby Syrians? Fijians must get out of there immediately

only for the money link

1/9/2014 06:04:36 am

the Fijian soldiers are in Syria only for the money. they have no commitment to peace. they have taken away the peace of their own people at home in Fiji by carrying out military coups and bullying them to submit quietly to the force-line rule of their commander who has appointed himself as the Prime Minister. And the UN finds all that quite acceptable. That's why it is carrying on with the Fijian military in a business as usual manner.
The Fijian soldiers would be happy to go and serve in the North Pole if the UN paid them to!

Support from the Vanuas for Bainimarama, Khaiyum and the FFP has now been dissolved. Most of the captured soldiers have blood links to most of the native Fijian villages, yavusas and mataqalis.
Because of Bainimarama's bad and rash decision in not getting these soldiers adequately trained and taught on how to adjust to the volatile situation in the Golan Heights, when he was commander, and Tikoitoga's obstinacy in thinking that these soldiers were well equipped and instructed, as the current commander, atrocious results of this nature have resulted. Thus FFP's support from the indigenous people have considerably dwindled which will result in the party's loss in the elections.

over 55 link

some of the soldiers in the photo look like they are over 55. shouldn't they have been retired like civil servants have been forced into retirement by the Bainimarama "government"?
