In a bold move that would affect the lives of over 800, 000 strong Fiji population, the President of Pacific Islands News Association, Mr. Moses Steven announced that it will move the Fiji Islands.
The announcement made at a press conference this morning left reporters at the scene shocked and speechless. According to Mr. Steven, there has been a lot of criticism towards him by the media organizations in Fiji and around the region after the introduction of the media decree by the Fiji Government.
“We were just taking a ‘wait and see’ option and weighing in on our next move. We had two options, either to move PINA out of Fiji or move Fiji. PINA is immovable may come rain or shine and it’s Fiji which will be moved. I will announce in coming days the complete plan to move Fiji,” Mr. Stevens boldly declared.
Mr. Stevens however declined to provide the new location for the Fiji Islands by saying that they were still in the process of negotiating with few countries and if they could accommodate Fiji Islands without jeopardizing their sovereignty.
According to an associate of Mr. Stevens who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity, the negotiations are being held with Singapore, Burma and China since Fiji’s new laws are very similar to these countries and Fiji would just fit in without any major hiccup.
However according to an expert based with the International Council of Movable Countries, plans to move Fiji Islands would be a logistical nightmare.
“It’s not impossible but it’s something that we always advise our clients against. We just hope that an amicable solution can be reached,” the expert stated.
Meanwhile, the Fiji Attorney General, Aiyaz Saiyyad Khaiyyum released a statement this afternoon calling for the PINA council to come to the table and discuss a way out of the current predicament. The statement further stated that the people of Fiji should stay calm and assured of their future although it is unclear if moved what Fiji’s new location would be.
In other news, after her bold statement at the World Press Freedom Day at the UNESCO global conference hosted at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, the Fiji Immigration department has announced that the Deputy Editor of Fiji Times, Sophie Foster would be deported back to the Wonderland.
