Fijian Military Declares State of Emergency, Installs New PM

HeadlineDec 06, 2006

In Fiji, the top Fijian military commander has declared a state of emergency and installed a new prime minister. The move comes one day after the overthrow of Fiji’s elected government—Fiji’s fourth coup in 20 years. The coup is drawing international condemnation and sanctions.

Chief United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric: “The secretary-general strongly deplores the seizure of power in the Republic of Fiji by the military leadership. The secretary-general calls for the immediate reinstatement of the legitimate authority in Fiji and its return to constitutional rule through peaceful means and inclusive dialogue.”
