Fiji army plans show of strength

Fiji's military has said it will conduct night-time exercises to secure strategic areas of the capital, Suva, citing fears of "foreign intervention".

The announcement came amid warnings by Australia and other regional powers of an imminent coup in the Pacific nation.

Earlier, talks in New Zealand between the prime minister and military chief aimed at averting a military seizure of power ended with no sign of agreement.

Military leaders accuse the government of corruption and lying.

In a statement, Fiji's military said the exercises were being carried out to protect the country.
Troops in full combat dress would secure the centre of Suva, the army said, and "illumination rounds" would be fired into the sea.

"The exercise is in anticipation of any foreign intervention and the Republic of Fiji Military Force is taking all precautionary measures," the statement said.
The general public was advised to remain cautious when travelling into the centre of Suva, but urged not to be alarmed by the exercise.

War of words

Military chief Frank Bainimarama has repeatedly threatened to overthrow the government, despite Fiji having been through three coups in 20 years.

He flew back home on Wednesday after talks with Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase broke down.
The military leader had said he would not negotiate with Mr Qarase.

"It's very simple. He comes with a 'yes' or a 'no' to our demands, full stop," he told New Zealand radio before the meeting.

The prime minister, though, described some of Cmdr Bainimarama's demands as a "threat to democracy".

The heart of the feud between the military and Mr Qarase's government lies in plans by the government to offer amnesties to those involved in a racially-motivated coup six years ago.
The proposal is bitterly opposed by Cmdr Bainimarama, who was the main target of the mutiny, and was forced to flee for his life.
