# Military Takeover in Fiji??? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
loric 08:20 UTC 11 Jul 2007 | Hi, I was only LP website about Fiji. It said there was a military coup/takeover this past december. Did this really happen? Is it still going on? Is it safe to go there? Appreciate any info. Thanks, Lori |
imacd 17:19 UTC 11 Jul 2007 | It happened while I was there, but ,apart from roadblocks for a few weeks, I wouldn't have noticed. I have been there twice since then, and it is perfectly safe to visit. The army commander is now the prime minister and the country is hoping to have elections around 2009. Life goes on as normal in Fiji and there is no reason to let the coup put you off. | 1
