All others are just blog shots in cyber sphere, and sparsely distributed domestic taunts muffled by the tyranny of the “shut your face” Decree.<br /><br />In the absence of Parliamentary democracy and a credible Judiciary no checking system whatsoever is afforded to us Fiji Citizens for redress or scrutinize, not only the legal essence of the existence of this regime, but also all and every Decree cookies churned out from the Government Printing oven that regimentally dictators when we breath, breed, sing, sleep, meet or when our rights may be minced into smithereens.<br /><br />Hence, these organized acts of bravery by the fijidemocracynow2009, while facing the elements of the southern winter compounded by the mocking or critical gazes of skeptics or may be even cowards; the marches acts of bravery are symbols of enormous hope to all our relatives under Fiji’s Tyrannical rule.<br /><br />Reluctance by some sections of the Expatriate Fiji Community to join the march may be understandable. Being part of the freedom marches and probable appearance of ones face in photos and subsequently the press should not be grounds for fear at all. For to fear thus or to fear by other “justifiable” excuses is a blatant abuse of the very liberty enjoyed in western democracy; the liberty craved by our Fiji relatives.<br /><br />False hope by some sections of Fiji community that this Dictator may Decree favourably towards a particular ethnic group or groups is an insult to the very intelligence and integrity of those who may be blinded to place their hope in a Dictator. A Dictator whose” conscience is sheared beyond repentance”.<br /><br />Our relatives in Fiji, though plural in their views of the situation, similar to the plurality of our views, looks to the expatriate Fiji Citizens and former residents as probably their only source of hope for an equitable resolve and represent of their blight to those who may listen and help.<br /><br />From the makeshift homes in Fiji squatter settlements, the hearts cries out. In the privacy of village kitchen dinner mat, the family cries out. The dark corners of dormitories in a boarding school, our future leaders hearts cry out. The bedrooms of housing estate, the couples cry out. Standing beside half empty tills, the market vendors, business men or women, taxi drivers cries out. The rural nurse beside an empty supplies cupboard, her heart cries out. Climbing up the steps of the bus with 5 cents short, the traveler cries out. Once proud hard and working employees dumped for been born on the wrong year, now grieves silently. Our son’s blood spilt from Police brutality, that also cries out.<br /><br />If those cries have not touched our hearts on they way to Heaven, then we are no better then those whose ”conscience are sheared”. Why not we “walk the talk”, for this may be our finest walk as we proudly cradle and cherish in our hearts the cries of those we love dearly!!<br /><br />“..for such a time as this…”<br /><br />Semi Meo<br />Fiji<br /><br />Shared via <a href="http://addthis.com">AddThis</a><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8748490551837556778-5788152805982411375?l=letterstoswm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Free Fijinoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748490551837556778.post-20583142548058871832009-07-24T19:13:00.001-07:002009-07-24T19:20:58.963-07:00Fiji Credit Rating Downgraded - Asia Pacific Focus<br />Is this how to move the nation forward?<br />The international financial research and analysis group, Moody's Investors Service, has downgraded Fiji's credit rating.Moody's says the political situation in Fiji and the recent scrapping of the constitution will make it increasingly difficult for the country to attract investment from abroad.As a result, it has cut the Fiji government bond rating, the foreign currency bank deposit ceiling and the foreign currency bond ceiling.<br />Whatever, it means the words "scrapping of the constitution" leaves a bad taste in one's mouth if we want to kick start the economy.<br />I shudder at what lies ahead for the innocent citizens of this beautiful country.<br />Anonymous<br />Fiji<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8748490551837556778-2058314254805887183?l=letterstoswm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Free Fijinoreply@blogger.com0
