(+) Race Used to Divide the Nation
Thereis no room for racial discrimination is this government, says interim
PM Cde Voreqe Bainimarama. Speaking at Dawasamu, Tailevu yesterday Cdre
Bainimarama said the interim government was committed to eradicating
discrimination at all levels. "I will not tolerate racial
discrimination as a way of dividing people of this nation."
This
may mean having to write a new constitution "so that racial
discrimination, a tool previously used by many politicians to win
votes, is eradicated."
Cdre Bainimarama said Government did not
want a repetition of the 2000 [Speight coup] event where little trust
was shared by Fijians and other races and drove many people to
parliament to support rebel leader George Speight for no reason. FijiSun.
