Suva wakes up to heavenly noises as Fiji's Police Force Band and officers excite the Fijian Public with Gospel music and dancing and sharing a common bond- Jesus Christ.A recent article in the Brisbane Times gives a bit of background:
And this is the 'Only strategy' the Fiji Police Force is now implementing in the hope of changing the lives of people whose lives have led them to live a hurtful, troubled, criminal resulting in making irrational choices.
A "Jesus crusade" led by Fiji's police force has been compared to the rule of the Taliban.
Editor in Chief of the Fiji Times, Mr Netani Rika, addressed journalism and communications students at the University of Queensland yesterday, telling them of life under the illegal rule of interim Fiji Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama.
Mr Rika said police converts to the fundamentalist New Methodist Church had replaced military personnel as in-house censors in newsrooms.
…The head of the new Methodist Church is the brother of the Police Commissioner, a close friend of Mr Bainimarama and former Fiji Navy Commander. The Police Commissioner is regarded as the second most powerful position in Fiji.
…An Associate Director of `Uniting World', a Uniting Church body operating in the Pacific, said he was investigating reports that preachers from Australian pentacostal [sic] churches were funding the New Methodist Church in Fiji and were sending people to preach there.

Current regime trying so hard to change people's thinking and hanging out their 'dirty-linen' for the world to see.
Such absurdity. Nepotism, corruption, forcing religion down people's throats, what else will they come up with?
Looks like they're running out of steam!!
