- Description
In the upper frame Commodore Bainimarama of Fiji declares that his ultimate goal is to restore Fiji's constitutional monarchy. When someone points out that Fiji has never had a constitutional monarchy, Bainimarama (in the second frame) lowers the crown onto his own head with a sigh of frustration that he has to think of everything himself. Refers to a requirement by the United Nations Security Council that Commodore Bainimarama, who has been reappointed interim Prime Minister, holds democratic elections within a timeframe that has already passed. Fiji has been plunged into a political crisis since its president reappointed military chief Frank Bainimarama as interim prime minister on April 11, less than two days after a court ruled his 2006 coup and subsequent government illegal. Since his reappointment, Bainimarama has imposed emergency restrictions and refused to hold elections before 2014.
