Commonwealth suspends Fiji
Fiji has automatically been suspended from the 53-nation Commonwealth, after it failed to respond to a demand to begin restoring democracy to the island nation.
The Commonwealth had demanded that the South Pacific island nation meet conditions – such as resuming a dialogue with opposition groups and holding early elections – by midnight local time, or face suspension.
The Commonwealth says Fiji responded to the request by the deadline, but it did not meet all of the group’s requirements.
Fiji has been under military rule since self-appointed Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, the country’s armed forces chief, seized power in a 2006 coup. His government had promised elections earlier this year.
The country had been previously suspended from the Commonwealth in 2000, and was expelled in 1987 for ten years.
