Fiji: dealing with a 'coup culture'

A former senior Fijian public servant talks about an entrenched 'coup culture' in Fiji, where more than half the population was born since the first 1987 coup and has grown up with an acceptance of coup politics - a lack of respect for the rule of law and democratic principles, and an acceptance of violence as the best way to resolve conflict. Emele Duituturaga argues that women have a critical role to play in changing the 'coup culture'.
