Politics in Fiji
Recent Fijian history has been dominated by a number of military coups, the most recent of which happened in December 2006.
Fiji is now governed by decree, and military officers actively censor the newspapers. Gatherings of more than 10 people require a police permit.
Australia and New Zealand have been particularly vocal in their attempts to have Fiji return to democracy, and a range of restrictions, including travel restrictions for the military and others connected to the government, have been put in place. These restrictions have been particularly unpopular with the interim government.
While the political situation in Fji is difficult, life for many expats goes on much as normal. While it is fascinating to watch the political drama unfold, expats are advised to stay away from political protests or demonstrations, which have a tendency of becoming violent.
