Isaaa I was in form 3 when this happened ...still remembers this scenario walking down this streets from school as this event closed all school that...I had to rush to Annesley infants school to pick my brother up who was in class one then while I was form 3 in Dudley High...isaaaa the fear of walking my brother down to the Suva bus stand that day I could never forget! ...
Was pulled out of primary school to go home back then like the rest of the students by car and buses. Didn't even know what was happening being a class/year 4 student too young to understand until I watched the news.
In 2010 while working in Fiji with another New Zealander we observed the following : racism from some Fijian Indians towards indigenous Fijians , but by no means from all Fijian Indians. Also much kindness towards us as foreigners was displayed from Fijians of all backgrounds. May Fiji have peace and prosperity.
Watching this has brought me embarrassment and shame of what these coups has brought to our beloved nation, what the people who initiated the coup didnt think of was the effect of chaos that followed, the motive of the coup was clear and understandable but what they lacked was the control to maintain order as people thought it was somehow right to burn down shops and take whatever they want ,not knowing how it would affect us future generations that was still a baby at that time and those yet to come. This is not the way the world should be!
True and yet the Bible never teaches or supports that kind of sick action. These people were full of hatred. I remember I was a kid that time we stayed home becoz we were scared. That is why I don't consider these people true followers of Christ becoz this is what they are when they are sick😂. Some of them can be a minister or whatever. When they get sick they are no different at all from uneducated people.

Tim Vaks .... To do what ?? Cassava plantation. ? He's doing plenty of that in prison. Supporting inmates food supply. He belongs there not here. Keep him there.
He was exiled and can’t come back unless the people wants him back, that’s not gonna happen. He in an small island serving his life sentence with his group
@@koena6720 He is in mainland prison in Naboro. He is no longer on that island. People can't ask for his release. He was picnicking on that Island under Qarase's rule. Now he is a regular prisoner. He was The Fall Guy in the Coupe.
You are out of your mind Alisi. Do you think Fijians are sticking with Bainimarama currently? No citizen should ever condone the overthrow of a government
Alisi Roqica Perhaps they should stick together and work on their land rather than be depended on other races in fiji who pay the most taxes to feed them.
@@robertmanoa9063 They can't work their land. They did not renew the leases and confiscated land from Indians. then it was left idle and bush took over land. The Bainimarama Govt. gave the land back to Indians on 99 yr leases and sugar cane is growing on these lands now.
@@prophet1782 who said that fijians live by farming know your facts sugarcane is not what we mostly plant we plant root crops and other things you kulina levu
Burning, Shooting, looting, raping of women and assault just to name a few that eventuated from the coup. You call all the above beautiful. I will rest my case here.
Well since i was born in fiji .. thats where i came from and proud of it too coz God put me there to be born. and as for how far i went..well fortunately i moved forward and thats beyond your ability to see.

Me too I was in form three
We heard gun shots @ QEB and our madam told us to hide under our desks
It was scary
Was in form 4 Indian college then.
It wasn't a civilian Coupe. Members of military were involved. George Speight was The Fall Guy.
Isa, brought back a lot of memories....was in the USP library working on an assignment when the news broke, sad day for democracy.
@AJ Ghali No I did not...too bisy trying to finish my assignment. Had a big party though. Caught up with cousins and Drank all that was looted.
I am watching this in July, 2021
These coups were somewhat a blessing to so many who migrated . This was a slap on the government for not maintaining law and order.
And what about the traumatised and injured (if any?)

Selfishness, Greed & Pride was our biggest Down fall. As an Indeginous Fijian, I've come to witness this regardless of any race or ethnicity in Fiji.
That's the sad bitter truth isn't it

Na con saraga ra cakava na lala ra mona taka na coup qo.
Fiji went 20 years back during this sad day. The bible was used to justify these sick actions
True and yet the Bible never teaches or supports that kind of sick action. These people were full of hatred. I remember I was a kid that time we stayed home becoz we were scared.

Says who ?
This was blessing in disguise. It paved the future of many Indians.
You would still be in INDIA if you weren't in FIJI ...Hellooo!
@@alumeciwalsham9191 know history please. If it wasn’t for slavery, Indians wouldn’t have been in Fiji. Don’t just blabber nonsense
@@alumeciwalsham9191 __ Off Course he'd be in India if he didn't come to Fiji. So what ? What are you trying to say. ??
@@alumeciwalsham9191 You would still be in Africa if you weren't in Fiji. Bye Byyeee !

We should bring back George Speight!!!!!!

@@prophet1782 Khaiyum will be joining him after the election....👍👍👍
We Fijian need to sort ourself out!! Too much liumuri amongst us...
Let's work together with other races to move Fiji forward!!
No one:
Nationalists: Don't take our land lol
Events like this will never let fiji grow...when Fiji takes 2 steps forward its takes 4 steps backwards coz of people like George speight
George Speight is my Hero I hope he gets released soon and runs for elections
Bro is a racist
Cu rawa vei koya
my father told me his story when he was in the coup
Bula from Fiji
Awesome.. Indigenous Fijians Always Stick Together💯
You are out of your mind Alisi. Do you think Fijians are sticking with Bainimarama currently? No citizen should ever condone the overthrow of a government
Alisi Roqica..... Mostly for the wrong reason.

This was beautiful.... getting rid of the foreign para.sites

Ugali Tamu... It's beautiful now. Getting rid of The Thugs and The Great Council of Thieves.
Ugadi u know nothing
Love it!
Hahaha
Totally correct.. while the rest of the world has progressed and moved forward.. they are still sticking together in reverse gear.
I'd like to see you go back to where you come from and see how far you went.
Well since i was born in fiji .. thats where i came from and proud of it too coz God put me there to be born. and as for how far i went..well fortunately i moved forward and thats beyond your ability to see.
