From FDN 12 aPR 2011:
It’s official! Frank’s a dictator!
April 12, 2011 by Fiji Democracy Now
Folks, we can only assume the censors were asleep on the job because a major feature article in the Fiji Times referred to our self-appointed leader TWICE as being a “dictator”. The article, a profile on the emerging rugby star, Henry Speight, was reprinted by the FT from the Canberra Times. Speight plays for Canberra’s Brumbies. There’s a link below to the FT but in case the story gets taken down, you can still read it at the link to Fiji freedom blog, Coup Four And A Half. No doubt for some in Fiji it may have come as a shock to discover that mainstream regional media refer to Bainimarama as a dictator, not just the blogs. And why do they give him that tag? Simple. He IS a dictator!
