Happy International Women's Day to all Fijians!
On International Women’s Day, I’m grateful to the women in my own life, across Fiji and around the world for the leadership, love, and wisdom they provide. It is every our duty to ensure the equal opportunity that you each deserve and that the Constitution requires we deliver!
As this red line rises, so do the risks to economies and public finances across the Pacific. Island nations didn’t cause this crisis, but we face the highest costs. From development finance, to loss and damage, to emissions reductions, targeted global action is long overdue.

I’ve just heard the latest at the ICJ. Fiji’s coalition govt has dropped the insane claim that the occupation of Gaza is legal. While Fiji’s position remains shameful in many ways, I want to thank the NGOs and individuals who pushed this govt to drop such an absurd position.
This breaks my heart to read. Since the coalition took power, Fiji faces an exodus unseen since 1987, draining our best, honed by a decade of free education. Sad to see that @slrabuka simply hasn’t learned his lesson: When you divide people, it drives them away.

Far more telling is what this statement doesn’t say: that Fiji’s coalition believes it knows better than international institutions and experts of law (and the legal teams of every other nation on Earth). This isn’t just an embarrassment, it’s a license for lawless violence.

Fiji's intervention at the ICJ betrays our legacy as peacekeepers and insults the intelligence of every Fijian.
As Fiji has stood with Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Kiribati, and others in their pursuit of independence, we must ask: with what credibility will we support the independence of territories like New Caledonia and French Polynesia? We can’t be selective in our support for statehood.
The world should know that the vast majority of Fijians stand on the side of peace. That is our national character and that is the spirit in which we offer our service on the frontlines of conflict zones around the world.
Aside from undoing our nation's longstanding commitment to peacekeeping and the principles of self-determination, this action contradicts our firm stance on the rights to independence and statehood, rights we have championed for our Pacific brothers and for all colonial peoples.
Such a stance not only jeopardizes our role as a neutral peacekeeper but also damages our moral authority to advocate for freedom and self-determination in the future.
The coalition govt’s claim that the occupation of foreign territory by Israel is legal—an argument not even advanced by Israel itself—reveals a disturbing truth that Fiji’s voice to the world is hostage to a demented few who are hellbent on destroying our national reputation.
It's great to be back in wonderful Papua New Guinea. My family and I have treasured memories about our times here. I can’t wait to be part again of this vibrant and enduring relationship with our closest neighbour and to re-connect with old friends and make new ones.
I’ve seen the new draft text at COP28. It is a death note for the Pacific. I urge negotiators to hold the line on a fossil fuel phaseout. It is now or never.
As a veteran of these negotiations and President of COP23, I urge the world: Do not look away from the final days in Dubai. 🧵 👇🏽
The USA’s pledge of USD17.5m to the newly announced #lossanddamage fund is just 0.00003% the cost of America’s climate related disasters this year alone. We’re grateful for this start. We’re also clear-eyed about what the world’s worst historic emitter owes frontline nations.
While I’ll never celebrate irreversible climate impacts, this loss & damage agreement is a start. But "voluntary" contributions won't cut it. Frontline nations like Fiji didn't choose this battle, and the worst emitters shouldn't choose if they pay for the damage they've caused.

To my fellow Fijians, stay safe, stay united. Our spirit and unity have carried us through many challenges, and this time will be no different. We will face this together, with the same strength and determination that defines us as a nation.

Read up and logic up.
@PGVK10 @AiyazSKFiji You're convulsing. Public consultations were held in 19 different locations throughout Fiji & with ngos, private & public sector for the 2013 Constitution. Far more than the bigoted 1990 Constitution, which was thrust upon Fiji at midnight.
@PGVK10 @AiyazSKFiji Wrong again. These consultations were after Ghai. And these were carried out in places where Ghai didn't even go to. We know the facts are inconvenient for your little narrative which is to satisfy your little self righteous, self serving and bigoted click.
@PGVK10 @AiyazSKFiji Wrong. The law empowered every Fijian (regardless of gender) to choose what they wished to state in their BC names (as is the case all over the world when you're an adult). That name could then be used to register to vote. It was that simple. Go and read it.

Sacks is correct, Biden & the FED (acting independently 😘 ) have done a perfect job of breaking inflation while minimizing negative effects on Americans 👏 a soft landing after Trump’s out of control spending seemed impossible, but record low unemployment & lower prices are…
The Fed is preparing a Biden Bailout. It has revised down inflation projections for 2023 and 2024 and is signaling upcoming rate cuts.
We didn’t then. We shouldn’t now.
When island leaders arrived in Paris eight years ago, we didn’t put our survival up for negotiation. We wielded every ounce of our collective moral authority to enshrine the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold in the Paris Accords and we've fought for it ever since.
