A politician's job in Fiji's opposition party seems easy, there's a lot of 'stating the obvious' without any need to actually go out and do anything about it. Well, anything of consequence that will actually make a difference to improve the lives of the oppressed people. But there has been the odd arrest of politicians, to quickly restore control and to remind the weak opposition politicians that the dictatorship is in charge. This is all it takes in Fiji to keep the opposition politicians in-line, placid and afraid!
Sadly, Fiji has no signs of a Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi type leader to lead the oppressed people to freedom. Despite the evidence, the opposition were not willing or savvy enough to defend our win to the end after the 2018 rigged elections. So how can we expect 2022 to be any different, with many of the same characters squabbling for a seat on the gravy train....
Meanwhile, brave citizens in other countries have been protesting, some turned violent:
But here in Fiji, there have been no such protests - no peaceful street protests, no work stoppages, no go slow, no campaigns, nothing! It seems that the opposition politicians are more than happy to stop only at words, while continuing to be paid thousands in salary.
We suspect that a report card on the Opposition would show them to be the weakest ever, concerned more about their self-preservation and status, rather than defending the rights and freedoms of their voters, and a return to democracy. Source: Truthfor Fiji, www.truthforfiji.com/

Meanwhile, brave citizens in other countries have been protesting, some turned violent:
- Colombia - against increased taxes, corruption, and health care reform
- Cuba - against the Cuban government and the ruling Communist Party that was triggered by a shortage of food and medicine and the government's response to the resurgent COVID-19 pandemic
- Myanmar - Peaceful pro-democracy street demonstrations and work stoppages gave way to paramilitary operations in opposition to the country’s ruthless military, which seized power in a coup d’état in February
- Thailand - against the government's unprecedented demands for reform of the Thai monarchy and the changes to the Thai constitution in 2017 that gave way to the country's political landscape.
- Venezuela - growing political discontent further fuelled by skyrocketing hyperinflation, power cuts, and shortages of food and medicine.
- Colombia - against increased taxes, corruption, and health care reform.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Fijileaks to Seruiratu, Why should evacuees bring their own food to sustain them for atleast 48 hours before assistance arrives? What if all their food are either destroyed or washed away in flood? Where is FRANK BAINIMARAMA? Still constipated from FREE XMAS Food?
Rumours are swirling on social media he suffered MINOR STROKE?
But, then, we were once told poor Tikoduadua had terminal CANCER, so was resigning as FijiFIRST Minister, and from Parliament. LASULASU!
