President Fires Judges, Assumes All Powers

Quote:
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Fiji’s President Josefa Iloilo fired the country’s judges and assumed all powers after a court ruled the military government is illegal, armed forces spokesman Major Neumi Leweni said.

Iloilo announced today in a nationally broadcast radio address he had abrogated the constitution and revoked all judicial appointments, Leweni said by telephone from the capital, Suva. Iloilo said Fiji will hold elections in 2014.

Doesnt matter what sort of government you have, it can always be taken over with a military force.

It was amusing that the judges have fled the island soon after the judgment was delivered. Sensible course though.
