Fiji’s government has called in the military to help “maintain law and order” amid a deepening political crisis following last week’s contested election. Long-standing Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has refused to concede, delaying the swearing-in of returning Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, who on Tuesday reached a deal with other opposition parties on forming a new coalition government. Bainimarama originally came to power in a 2006 coup; Rabuka seized power in Fiji’s first coup in 1987. Rabuka is expected to pursue tighter ties with U.S. allies Australia and New Zealand, while the current leader maintained a close relationship with China.
