things that seen everywhere that people demanded for leadership change.
As of this hour 5.39pm, hundreds of people now taken to the streets
demand the resignation of the newly elected PM. Police tried to calm
the crowd but they reply with stones and all other things within their
sight. Crowd now builds up at the City Centre Pharmacy whilst the
police stationed at the Point Cruz mobile station. Vehicles were not
able to go as the road has been block by the crowd and someone at the
central Police station whom I talked to said they did not even have the
protective shields as all of this has been taken away by RAMSI police.
They hardly stare at the crowd at a distance.
The public has demanded a change of leadership of PM to be effective by
Sunday 23rd April or forced the leadership style to take place.
WEDNESDAY 19th April, 2006:
Chinatown is more than you could imagine during the height of the ethnic
tension. All the shops from Green leaf to Hong Fa have been burnt to
ground. Only shops left at the moment is QQQ, ABBA, YTL, John Tom and
Sons Building, Steven & Sons, Marimba, Quan Chee, Save the Children,
SolLae, Bulaia Lodge, and shop next to it including new Chinatown shops
has been saved. All other buildings have been burnt completely to the
ground. All Chinese have been evacuated to Honiara Hotel and Rove
Police Hq. Women, men and children crowded into Chinatown taking things
from the shops as of yesterday afternoon to this morning before shops
were burnt down. It was really chaos in Chinatown at the moment. One
could imagine that police were present just to take a look around but
couldn't do anything.
