The rumours that Sayed-Khaiyum is about to get the boot are getting stronger everyday. Aiayz can’t believe that the regime would get rid of him because he thinks they’d have no-one to tell him what to do, but he could be in for a rude shock. It’s true the dumb dictator will miss Aiyaz giving him lines to read and decrees to announce, which dumbo thinks make him look smart, but nobody else will miss the Ayaz arrogance. Victor Lal’s article on Coup Four and a Half outlines how the arrogance and corruption of Sayed-Khaiyum brought him into conflict with the Military Council.

Samoan journalist, Tupuola Terrence Tavita, has reported that yet another coup is on the cards for Fiji, this time on the orders of the Military Council. The source of the story appears to be Roko Ului who gets some very favourable mentions, and Tavita seems to be under the impression that “most of them (the Military Council) are from Fiji’s chiefly families”. The pro regime bloggers have scrambled like a room full of cockroaches when someone turns a light on, so there could be something in this rumour.

Blogsite Discombobulated Bubu picked up an interesting article from Michael Field reporting that dear old Mother Sayed-Khaiyum has made it to New Zealand, courtesy no doubt of brother Riyaz’s status, not Aiyaz’s. Could this be a first step towards making a safe bolt-hole for Aiyaz? (Please let me stay with my mother – for her sake not mine, of course.) But Aiyaz will have to repair the damage he did to his name in New Zealand after he made a huge fuss about permission for a regime judge to visit New Zealand accompanying a sick child. Aiyaz accused the New Zealand Government of interfering in the judiciary, even before the visa application had been processed. Better work quickly Aiyaz, you might need your bolt-hole sooner than you thought.

Posting on Fiji Today’s Blog, the wily old Cassandra makes a very solid case that the dictator’s “roadmap” is simply a work of fiction. Going back to the point when the “roadmap” was first trotted out by the dictator, Cassandra shows us how the concept is yet another smokescreen to camouflage the dictator’s true plans and intentions. In other words, we shouldn’t put any store by the undertaking frequently made by our grubby little tin-pot dictator that there will be elections by September 2014.
