 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Fiji coup of 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The Fiji coup of 2000 was a complicated affair involving a civilian putsch by hardline Fijian nationalists against the elected government of Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry on 19 May 2000, the attempt by President Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara to assert executive authority on 27 May, and his own resignation, possibly forced, on 29 May.
His government's hints at land reform had caused further alarm, notwithstanding that indigenous ownership of five sixths of Fiji's land is guaranteed by a constitutional clause which cannot be amended without the agreement of 9 of the 14 Senators appointed by the Great Council of Chiefs.
In an interview with Close-Up on Fiji Television on 29 April 2001, he claimed that Speight (who was then in custody and has since been convicted of treason) was only a front.
