Sorry for not being active for the past few weeks. Mainly because I just did not see the need to post more things on the web as a sister blogger, Resist Franks Coup, have just really stepped up to the plate and just disseminated information to the interested readers and I applaud them for doing so. But there is an issue that I felt needed to be raised and have not been raised by any of the blogs yet, that is the claiming of credit by the interim government by intiatives that havebeen undertaken by other people or groups.
The Interim government is so focussed in trying to gain favour in the face of the international communitties and the public that they would claim ownership over projects that other people have worked tirelessly to raise from the ground. Because of safety and other reasons specific projects will not be mentioned but one is more obvious then others. The Suva Secondary Music Festival is one such project that they are trying to claim ownership over. We have certain people reporting to us about the matter. And will fill you in when more information comes into hand.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights:- (30 Rights We All Have - No Matter What)
For one and all, I just want to list our fundamental basic Human Rights, as I can assess and observed from my recent trip to Fiji 2006, majority of the public, had no knowledge or understanding of our Human Rights. We tend to accept and Not question, whatever our elders or people of authority, deliver or present to us.
Fiji is a very religious Nation, and through our upbringing our parents and elders and of cause through the teachings in Sunday School, we're taught the very same thing, our Human Rights were based on, and with the same principle which is to "Love one another, as God Loves Us".
1. We are all free and equal (We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way)
2. Don’t discriminate (These rights belong to everybody, whatever our differences)
