Military regime starts to crack up against Methodist defiance

Fiji’s military regime have had their first taste of peaceful defiance by the Methodist Church today – and they obviously didn’t like it.
We’re not talking about the military boys and girls but Frank Bainimarama, his senior military and police officers and his very few supporters.
Radio network Communications Fiji today filed this report:
“The government and the military have stressed that the Methodist Church of Fiji executives need to have a permit to have the church standing committee meeting today.
Permanent Secretary for Information and Military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Neumi Leweni said the standing committee cannot just meet without an approval to decide on their next step after the cancellation of the Church Conference.
Fijivillage has received confirmation that the church standing committee meeting has already started.
Meanwhile, Police Director Operations Waisea Tabakau said they are aware of the meeting and are taking the necessary steps.”
Later this afternoon, there were talks that members of the Methodist Church standing committee were going to be arrested for purpotedly breaking the public emergency regulation as suggested by Leweni.
It never happened!
So why didn’t the regime move in?
Sources confirmed that the regime was advised against it with a warning that arrests of the Methodist Church standing committee will be a fatal mistake.
The committee ended their meeting peacefully and guess what, Fiji’s military regime couldn’t do anything about it.
Leweni’s cowardly statement achieved nothing except to show to the world how Frank & Co.’s scare tactics are not having its desired effect on the Fijian masses.
Frank & Co. are ruling by bluff for far too long and it is the Methodist Church who can and will topple them with their peaceful defiance.
Watch!
