SUVA, Fiji (20 June 2000) -- Military officials and racist rebel leader George Speight have agreed on Ratu Josefa Iloilo as the president of the interim government. The two sides will now discuss nominations for the rest of the interim civilian government. Speight will not be allowed to participate in the interim administration, however, the military will consider his nominees. Speight wants Indo-Fijians banned from government positions but said he would accept appointments made by the new president. Speight's coup has pushed the island nation to the brink of economic ruin. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
