Ex-criminals helping solve Tonga's drug crisis and former Fiji PM Bainimarama jailed | The Pacific
Рет қаралды 51,547
This week on The Pacific, we speak people forcibly returned to Tonga despite having little to no connection with the Kingdom. We also look at how science could finally help prove a famous story passed down through oral tradition in Solomon Islands - and we go to PNG to hear all the latest about the autonomous region of Bougainville’s push for independence. Plus former Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama is sentenced to one year in jail.

This is ridiculous, the question is why should he (FB) be given special treatment..??? When he was the Prime Minister, did he give the same treatment to “Prisoner 302” who was falsely incarcerated and who by the way was a former Prime Minister of Fiji as well?

Thats a bold statement to make. If you actually understood the whole situation, would you still make that statement? Not saying that he doesn't. That's you're opinion I'm not arguing it.

The old police fella is genuine. You can see the pain and hurt he has for the youth given the road ahead. This battle will forever be present as long as there is poverty and low social economic conditions. Pray for your children people of Tonga.

Why this history left our in our school curriculum. Live in Ugi ni masi for 4months but just unfortunately not to hear the story 28:05. I think late Uncle Luke Susuta have this in archives. Missed Saturdays customs story. Great story.

Most of our stories are lost in time ,we tend to love European and western technology as means to replace our oral stories and the truth that it represent.

Would be a good idea for Pacific islands to have a reach out program for their citizens overseas who might be going through a hard time and susceptible to crime. Give them a pathway home before making life worse for themselves and their family.

The drug problem “in all the world” will never be solved as long as young people covert the lives and toys of those they see on social media. In the west, your existence in a tropical land is perceived as idealic paradise. Tongan people hear me! You do not want to live in the west. It is rotting from the inside with no morality. I am Australian but live on a remote island in the bay of Thailand, a better upbringing for my grandchildren.

The PM has rescued native Fijians from being second class citizens.Why you are showing disrespect to a great man who stood up for native Fijians rights to run the affairs of Fiji native.
