Coup in Fiji

It appears that Fiji has been thrown back into the news again for the wrong reasons. The most recent military coup should put the country back another 20 years.

The current military coup appears to be mostly about the "Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill":

The Reconciliation and Unity Commission is a proposed government body to be set up if the Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill, which was introduced into the Fijian Parliament on May 4, 2005, is passed. The legislation proposes to empower the Commission to grant amnesty to perpetrators of the Fiji coup of 2000, and compensation to victims of it from 19 May 2000 through 15 March 2001. The Fijian President will retain a veto over the granting of amnesty.

Good Wikipedia articles about the proposed bill (all articles appear to have been written prior to the coup) :

• About the Bill
  
• Foreign Reaction
• Supporters of the bill
• Opponents of the bill

I hope that there isn't any violence in Fiji, and that (somehow) good governance can take hold.
