Konrote to US Ambassador Larry Dinger: "Bainimarama carried out 2006 coup because of 2000 mutiny; he had no combat experience, so when he was fired at, he fled HQ, becoming psychologically terrified for his life"

Bainimarama's coup motivation: Back to 2000

"Former State Minister [Jioji] Konrote had a long and distinguished military career, culminating as BrigGen in command of all UN forces in Lebanon.

When we asked Bainimarama's motivations for the coup, Konrote referred back to the events of 2000, especially the November mutiny of soldiers at military HQ when Bainimarama was nearly killed. Konrote noted that Bainimarama had never been in a combat situation.

Unlike senior Army officers who had seen action in Lebanon and other hot spots, Bainimarama's only PKO experience was with MFO Sinai during a peaceful period.

Thus, when he was fired at in 2000, the experience had a significant psychological effect that Bainimarama still carries."

MEDAL THIEF: How did Bainimarama accumulate all these medals, for Konrote told Dinger Bainimarama had no combat experience?
"When former Home Affairs State Minister Konrote came by the Embassy on 2/6 to ask about an RFMF deployment to Iraq (ref A), he mentioned that Bainimarama has approached him about becoming Fiji's Permanent Representative to the UN.

Former PermRep Savua concluded his tour last fall, and the Qarase Government named a replacement who had not taken up the job before the coup.


Konrote said the interim government is considering a wholesale re-shuffle of ambassadorships. (Comment: This is not surprising given that many current ambassadors are tied to events of 2000 and/or have been seen as buddies of Qarase.)

Konrote said he has not yet accepted the New York offer because he is worried about Australia, New Zealand, and U.S. visa-ban repercussions on himself and his family.

Konrote's sons travel a lot. Konrote said, none the less, he has informed Bainimarama that he is willing to "help out" the interim government behind the scenes."

Editor,
Janet Daley, columnist with the Telegraph, London writes " ... Supporting a party is as much about your social attitudes and your personal values - about how you see yourself - as it is about practical judgement. So voters will be asking themselves for a long time, what sort of people and what kind of political movement could have embraced the views of men like these even for a moment? They will then have to decide whether it is an outfit with which they can bear to be identified?..."
Apparently in the Fiji case some people have had no qualms about identifying with " an outfit " notwithstanding its devious origin and dubious status,given the fact that they had appropriated the party name from the original party name owners.
What does this say about these peoples' social attitudes and personal values?
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

PRESIDENTS 2016 RESOLUTION FOR THE NATION
KONROTES 2016 Resolution is to know more about the GOD. This sums everything up. In any religion at a very young age all know who GOD is and its principles in order to do what is right and NOT do what is WRONG.
If he wants to know more about the GOD then certainly he will be asking for forgiveness from GOD for all his wrongdoings!
