12 Oct 10 - 06:49 AM (#3005063) Subject: BS: The Fijian Coups From: WalkaboutsVerse Because Asian/Indo-Fijians (mostly the descendants of indentured labourers) have tended to have larger families and vote for their own, Indigenous Fijians have made a series of coups in order to maintain power. It seems to me one of the more difficult cases for the United Nations to resolve...any thoughts? |

Malaysia has the same issues only on a much bigger scale. British imperialism was good at divide and rule, as well as at promoting elites of brutal thugs. Millions dead as a result. |

Kenya has done much to discourage Indians who were brought there to leave (a number came to Canada, and to other Commonwealth countries). Power struggles in Sri Lanka will continue because of Tamils brought into the country by the British. |
