Who’s left?

The war drums are beating, the Fiji Military is in a command crisis. The bastion of Fijian paramountcy with its predominantly ethnic Fijian makeup will be put to the blow torch in the coming weeks prior to the Methodist’s Annual Conference in Rewa. The ossified traditional triune of Lotu Vanua and Matanitu will undergo the ultimate temporal test of coercive force. Fijian Spiritual Hegemony versus Frank and Ayarse’s counter Hegemony viz a viz “the new order” and of course spruced up with Teleni’s new Methodist twist.
Just two weeks after the abrogation of the constitution on Good Friday by the President, Commodore Bainimarama his Land Force Commander Colonel Pita Driti and his Chief of Staff Colonel Aziz Mohamed in a grand show of military machismo were conferred the Companion and Officer’s of the Order of Fiji for “distinguished service of a high degree to Fiji and humanity at large”. The high priests of the “new order” had been anointed. Nothing was going to stop the military juggernaught- not Good Friday even Easter Sunday.
Three months later the ‘anointed’ colonels bought with a miserable two pieces of silver are on the outer of palace politics. One hanging onto dear life with his corrupt FHL wannabies, the other wanting to make a ‘brave’ stand for the Methodist conference against his master’s worst nightmare. ( sa qai rere ko Pita)
My! How times change. Well now lets see.. umm.. who’s next senior on the officer graduation list … eh officer cadet Curu Oso Sir!
Aah.. se qai pass out ga.. top recruit Sir!
OK promote taki koya .. full colonel OK!
