Fiji's schools are reopening today after eight weeks of disruption because
of the political crisis.
Twice during the siege of Parliament, Fiji's Education Ministry tried to
reopen schools, but had to close them again because of incidents of
violence.
With schools around Fiji resuming today, the next test will be how many
parents think it is safe enough to send children back to school.
Suva's night curfew has also been relaxed, now starting two hours later at
10:00pm.
But Fiji's main island is still suffering power cuts because of a landowner
occupation of the key hydroelectric station.
Rebel unrest still plagues the northern town of Labasa and a standoff
continues at Fiji's maximum security prison.
