Fiji coup complete

Well, as predicted by a Fiji newspaper a few days ago--see previous posts--a military group has overthrown the government of Fiji.

And it may not be the last one...

From AP:

The takeover, like the previous three coups, has its roots in the ethnic divide between the descendants of ancient Melanesian warrior tribes and those of Indian laborers brought by former colonial power Britain to work in sugar plantations.

Mixed societies tend to be unstable. Do you hear that, Europe?
