We don't know about you, but for us this picture and its accompanying caption and the story that went with it speaks VOLUME about the history that Voreqe will leave behind after all the mess he created has been fixed, by elected leaders who are loved, respected and mean something to the people of Fiji. Here is the picture and caption (with our inclusion) courtesy of the Sunday Times.

The story then went on to its opening line as this:
Sweet surprise for north villagers
Sunday, March 21, 2010
DEVASTATED children of Wainigadru village within Tawake District in Cakaudrove received a sweet surprise when Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama walked in with a truckload of sweet biscuits.
Come on! Is Voreqe now playing Father Christmas or something? This is what that SHOULD BE DONE ANYWAY! Why make it into such a BIG DEAL SURPRISE even if the truckload of sweet biscuits was not part of the ration. It is STILL part of donations made by the people in Suva to assist in the food programme that the people in the North SHOULD receive as victims of Cyclone Tomas.
Now, remember when Voreqe and his followers told the people of Yasawa after Cyclone Mick that his military regime will not give them food rations?

Government will not provide food rations for those who were affected by the floods during Cyclone Mick.
Deputy Commisioner Central Samu Sadranu said whatever money was allocated for assistance should be prioritised for schools, which sustained considerable damage.

VILLAGERS on two islands in the Yasawa Group are asking for food.
"Plantations were destroyed during the cyclone. We have had to ask our relatives living on the mainland to send even root crops across," he said. "We request that ration supplies like flour and rice be supplied to the islands."

BAINIMARAMA: DON’T ASK FOR HANDOUTS

SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, Feb. 10, 2010) - THERE will be no more handouts of food rations, unless extremely necessary, and government funding to build village halls and churches will cease in Fiji.
SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, Feb. 10, 2010) - THERE will be no more handouts of food rations, unless extremely necessary, and government funding to build village halls and churches will cease in Fiji.
This firm announcement - in support of the children of Fiji - was made by army commander Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama during an impromptu visit and private meeting with the villagers of Naboro and Yalobi in the Yasawa group.
When the villagers tried to press the issue by pointing to the destruction of food, farms and infrastructure during Cyclone Mick late last year, Cmdre Bainimarama told them that they should take the initiative and not wait for government handouts.
"Government will not assist in the construction of village halls and churches and giving out food rations unless extremely necessary," he said.
"The halls and churches are projects best undertaken by the villagers themselves. Our focus right now is the future of Fiji, which is our children.
Aha! ...OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE he says. Well, if you recall the caption from the above picture of one of the children whose future Voreqe is talking about here....it is fitting to say...
THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL REMAIN OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT VOREQE TRIED TO DO TO MAKE THEIR LIVES "BETTER", BUT THEY WILL SURELY KNOW ABOUT HOW HE RAPED THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF THEIR ADULT MOTHERS, FATHERS, GRANDPARENTS, AUNTS, UNCLES, SISTERS, BROTHERS, COUSINS, ETC WHO EXPERIENCED HIS DICTATORSHIP SINCE DECEMEBER 5, 2006!
Mark our words Voreqe!
