Quick Glance: Fiji's government accused of instilling fear in order to maintain control as troops are deployed
- Former naval captain Bainimarama has led Fiji since a military coup in 2006, and he has refused to acknowledge defeat following the December 14 polls.
- A small number of military vehicles were seen patrolling, a day after Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama declared their mobilization to ensure "law and order."
- The opposition, led by rival ex-coup leader and former prime minister Sitiveni "Rambo" Rabuka, was able to cobble together enough seats to establish a coalition government as a consequence of the referendum.
- Meanwhile, Bainimarama has used unverified reports of post-election ethnic violence as justification for deploying the military and "fulfilling our duty" to keep Fiji secure.
