The Fiji Coup and Unrest

FRONTLINE REPORTERS: A STUDENTS' INTERNET COUP
By David Robie, Pacific Journalism Review, 7(1)47-56
~ a
post-coup review, published September 2001

An archive of news stories, commentary, analysis, email and photos from May 19, 2000 and events that followed through September 2000.

Note to readers: While Fiji continues to suffer the disasterous affects of the overthrow of a democratically elected government and the violence that followed, shattering their economy, the people of Fiji are moving to rebuild their country and share in a debate on the best way to go about it. I will continue to update this section with major events which I hope will include the holding of national elections sometime in the near future. In the meantime, I leave this material online and offer it to you as an archive of the events beginning May 19th and generally returning to some semblance of peace by September. - MJF
