Sope s history lesson
×
Vanuatu’s former Roving Ambassador and former Prime Minister, Barak Sope, has disputed claims that the late Sir Michael Somare was a supporter of West Papua.
Sope says it is important that original political leaders including PNG former Prime Minister, Sir Julius Chan, former Commander of the PNG Kumul Force, Commander Ted Diro who led his army to crush the Santo Rebellion, and former Fiji Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka who are still alive today know that their contributions towards peace and freedom in the Pacific are recognised and respected.
He says while Sir Michael was in Opposition, he did not agree to send PNG troops to Vanuatu to quell the Santo Rebellion.
Letter: Micronesia was right to leave Pacific Island Forum
Umerei Andres
The Pacific Island Forum is in disarray after the Micronesian sub-region, which makes up a third of its organization, walked out of the forum due to a dishonor in a longstanding convention in leadership cycle.
Founded in 1971, the Pacific Island Forum’s leadership title of secretary general has been held mostly by Polynesian candidates. This year’s election, Micronesia was up for the title. But to the small northern Pacific islands’ disappointment, a long standing “gentlemen’s agreement” was not upheld. Over the years, it seems this agreement has been overlooked many times. Since this organization was founded, only one term, between the years of 1992-1998, has been served by a member of the sub-region of Micronesia as the secretary general.
