Bush Doctrine MUST be working - Military of Fiji caught plotting coup against elected govt.

[ck4829]

The United States warned the armed forces of Fiji against carrying out a coup against the elected civilian government of the racially divided Pacific island nation.

The State Department said it was concerned by a recent deterioration in civilian-military relations in Fiji and threats by some army factions against the government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and said a coup could trigger a cutoff in US aid to the country.

"We urge Fiji's military leadership to refrain from any actions that could be seen as a provocation or threat to the democratically elected government," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

"As the United States has noted both publicly and privately to Fijis military leaders, it is critical that the armed forces fully respect constitutional processes, the rule of law and the military's subordination to the lawfully elected leadership of the country," he said.
