the reason why those Somali gangs now operate in those waters is because of the european union fishing vessels which have basically destroyed their fishing grounds - east and west africa is now the same - european union vessels are pilfering and pillaging those fishing grounds.

those Somali guys have no choice but to engage in those activities - their livelihood i.e fishing is gone.

meanwhile those EU guys were on the news over here yesterday evening - making their determinations about elections in 2009 - and it only shows how out of touch they are with the changing geopolitical face of this region - there is going to be no elections in 2009, and none until these issues governing electoral reform are completed - and as long as these continued obstacles are being thrown in the way i.e Qarase's court actions, interferences by the EU, the Aussies etc etc etc those elections are going to slip further and further away.

if these machinations continue - then this government will simply sit in for the long haul. 2020.

there is no stopping these geopolitical changes.

and not even the EU can stop it.

200 million of FDI within the last 18 months and more to come - because there are bigger geostrategic objectives involved.

the Aussies and EU are facing off with the North - and the Aussies and EU have already lost.

there is nothing to stop these changes that are now happening. these changes are here and now and permanent.

the EU threat to shut down the funding is an old one - and its meaningless because there are other sources now available to Fiji - the regime had already made arrangements for that way back in 2007. the Eu stops the funding, Fiji gets it from elsewhere - no problem. thats already arranged.

this is why i have already posted that the EU can't stop whats happening. they won't.

our past is with the Aussies and Kiwi's - the here and now and the future is within the Sino - Indian geopolitical sphere. they are the coming powers of this region - and they represent the power of the future.

playing with the Aussies is playing small change - loose change. that play was done by 1987 - it went nowhere for us and resulted in nothing for us. ZERO.

what the Sino- Indian objectives mean for us is much more significant - transforming Fiji into the transhipment route into Latin America - and the financial inter connection point for those financial trades - with their money and muscle and shipping - thats where its going - the Chinese and the Indians already export the biggest number of products anywhere worldwide anytime, they will soon own the shipping lines shortly and then they will soon own the key transhipment ports on the various routes they move their products through - thats happening now.

the EU know that opening up this transhipment route will eventually mean cutting out their shipping lines and their shipping companies - right now EU companies own the largest shipping companies and agencies in the world - but thats set to change.

the people who are looking at the Aussies are looking at micro regional plays - with the Chinese and the Indians the play is international and global - Aussie muscle doesn't even factor into that equation - and thats the difference - and its the bottom line.

those who are looking back to the Aussies are living in the past - that past is gone - its history - and its not coming back.

Australia will just be another player in the region - they are no longer the leader and neither is New Zealand. those days are gone.
