First
Islands that are soon to be swallowed up by global warming still have the time to fight, lol
@Ye Mann Wai Phyo I’m laughing not at their situation but at them for being Soo dumb instead if coming together to find sustainable solutions they are fighting, it’s just laughable
@ArtificialIntelligent the “eXperTs” are a bunch of Looney Tunes characters and people who believe in climate change and global warming are dumb as a tree trunk!
@Truth Hunter Batman 🤪🤪
@ArtificialIntelligent they warned about ice age saying it’ll happen after Millions of years
@ವರುಣ್ ರಾಜು last one was 12,000 years ago and the one before it was about 24,000-27,000 years ago. A super volcano or an asteroid smacks us and we’ll go through another. 1934 was the hottest year on record and 1998 almost beat that. The dark ages was way hotter from what we can tell though dendroclimatology.
They are all like that around the world.
Lol you just admitted the Solomon Islands people are black… that means the black race sailed to the furthest reaches of the pacific islands in the middle of an ice-age, tens of thousands of years ago, while Caucasians only reached there in the 1800s 😂😂 man I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!
I’d love to hear the “rioters” perspective… we all know what g’ments are like.
All running China down today? You know, that country with a history of them invading all over the world? A history of them supporting terrorism, and always working against the people, but only working for massive billion-dollar corporations and elites?. I mean, we can see, they even built an enormous wall all around their country, to stop the people from getting out, LMAO! You know! Honestly! LOL. But really, what do we see?
I don’t see China invading countries all over the world, slaughtering 50+ million innocent civilians as they do so? Do you?
I certainly don’t see China, supplying weapons to terrorists, or arming criminals in Ukraine? Do you?
I don’t see China stealing any other countries resources, or invading countries, then murdering them, and stealing their oil, minerals, or gold & diamond assets, while invading all over the world? Do you?
I don’t see China building any illegal military bases in others countries, to use to steal and syphon off their oil? Do you?
Nope, but that does all come from the USA, though! Who are the world’s global monster today, and who are so out of control today, the country needs removing from this planet! Who, do those people, actually think they are?
REALITY – If that’s allowed?? … China lifts over 900 million people (3 x the population of the USA), out of a life of absolute poverty, and into a life of prosperity, … Well, how dare they!!
China has a Communist government, and yet they run an almost capitalist system (only with one big, huge difference). China have been watching and learning from all the mistakes made by the West, giving China a massive advantage to get things right, without having to make the same mistakes as the failed West.
The biggest difference you’ll find between the West and China, is that China will never allow anyone, or any company, business, or corporation to become influential to the leading party. Nothing and nobody will ever be able to dictate government policy. Not by being a multi-billion corporation, or by being an Elite as we’ve got in the West.
In the West, we’ve created a 1% of the population, with over 90% of the wealth. And that has seen all the real power shift away from our governments, and into the hands of extremely wealthy individuals and corporations! And that has seen the West fail. China knows this, and that alone will see China succeed, as it’s seen us in the West, fail.
@Hot Stepper to make it clear, China is not the issue. Malaitan people want their own PM resign because his engagement and dealings with Chinese investors in the mining sector and logging industry is being uncanny. Today the Australian defence force is protecting hm and his govt via their intervention 😂.
In the parliament debate yesterday, opposition leader uses this
“ looting at higher levels make the citizens angry”
Off course Solomon Islands welcome investors from china just like any other sovereign country.
@Hot Stepper china is a criminal cartel. Move there and join the ccp seeing as you approve of and admire them so disgustingly much. Our g’ments (for decades) have been selling our country to them. They’re an insidious cancer, joining forces with corrupt global g’ments, via their common greed, to buy out and own all they possibly can. The sooner they, and their enablers, are stood against a wall, the better for the planet.
ironically there was a open forum/meeting to invite the officials for discussion so the difference can be worked out. The current PM’s party basically ignored it before protests all over start to take shape.
From what I was able to understand;
the resource uneven allocation may be a problem and lands (in this case an island) being granted to the foreign nations (with undisclosed reason/term)…
Ugh, there was very little transparency on the transaction/contract (aka confidential) and ousting of several key parliament officials -etc… may have been at the core on why many think there is corruption when the life of the populace isn’t improving despite the diplomatic switch that was said would bring economic benefits.
Like the BRi in Africa; a large sum of the project’s work salary from construction (90%++) went to foreigners or campaign donations WHILE the nation (/its taxpayer) now owns billions of $$ in exchange. So forget about earning less than 5$ per day; some are now born with thousands/tens of thousand+ in debt :3
This is what’s called buyer’s remorse; especially one completed without public discussion so the root problems have more to than just economics.
e.g the switch of recognization was done in a closed-door meeting in which the PM initially said there was a vote; many ministers later confess that wasn’t that case and were fired or resigned.
So yeah; there was obviously a lack of communication with its non-partisan citizens and even among many of his own voters.
This is Happening All Around the World
“deploying troops from several neighboring countries”? What does this prime minister actually control?
many pacific nations are small in terms of population and economy so no wonder they counting aussie or nz to help them
@Radith Ramadhan Aussie and NZ will Always Help them ! And all the surrounding Island Nations in that region !
Coconuts. So many islands in the world can easily be captured, my parents homeland too.
If they count on other nations to deploy troops for security wouldn’t that give the nation’s contributing troops influence?
Common wealth, leave the country for the people.addis ababa, Ethiopia.
Won’t affect a single professional sports game in Australia, Fiji, or new Zealand
Which shows how small an event it is
Even if 5000 people died not 1 person in Qatar would be affected
Actually, about 3000 people died in Qatar building stadiums and millions from all around the world will still watch the upcoming world cup 😔
arab money and condom 💄 💄
@Jean-Luc TURQUIN “So Sad 😞 😔 🥺
China is taking over ! If you can’t beat em join em
I pray that the good people of the Solomon Islands will be safe and have a swift and quick resolution to solving their tyranny problem. 🙏🏽
Thank you
Solomon island wants Indonesia to let west Papua bcm independent. But they themselves don’t let the malaita to be independent. Hypocrite.
@Faris Mee province in Solomon island.
I mean every nation is hypocrite including USA
Solomonoids are so angry with their government
Do you hear yourself? What is a solomonoid giorg?
@Al Jones Solomonoids are the people of Solomon, like the people of Andros are Androids.
Kick out the Queen Elizabeth asap..
Democracy hahaha
Save the ground Boas and monkeytail skinks.
…………
……..
Colonial propaganda.
I wish your country fall to civil war ..
..
We’re living in the last days.
Again?
What a coincidence that the rioters attack Chinatown but spare Taipei’s Representative Office? Like the typical color revolution that only happen in countries not aligned to US and it’s military allies. Now the objective is achieved with Australian army on the ground to “maintain order and stability”.
your point is?
Just stop paying tax simple.
And go to jail.
You don’t have a choice in tax paying
WTH… is the Prime Minister taking pointers from Beijing Biden?
Maybe the people are tired of being raped and screwed by the government!
What they need is good weed
Another corrupted leader.
ROC what infrastructure do they offer.? Infrastructure requires big capital outlay with no immediate return of capital. How can the Soloman is. pay ? Is Australia going to build infrastructure to solve the Solomon Islands problems ?
This U.S. TRAITOR GOVERNMENT paying hometown gun and badge national guard murderer TRAITORS holding the POOR MEEK hostage at gun point for hometown EXTORTION PACIFIED as RENT and TAXES and insurance and bills but are monetary enslavement of the POOR MEEK hostage at gun point. We must reinstate the guillotine and purge our planet of these satanic fake leader’s on payroll of TRAITORS ENGLANG FRANCE SPAIN and U.S. sociopath MURDERER government officials, then CLONE them endlessly for slaves to clean up fukashima and Chernobyl and for MEDICAL experiments and SLAVES to be dropped off where capitalism DESTROYED their countries and their people’s MONEY

Solomon Island 🇸🇧 🏝 ♥
It’s China problem why Australian government getting involved.
🇵🇰❤️🇧🇩
Survived the vote? Not from the people they have enslaved.
All these puppets in the Asia Pacific region are in the back pocket of China. I can’t blame the rioters.
Immediately Solomon Republic open now and Palestine recognized now
Assalamu alaikum From india
Calling the international forces so his people can suffer more.
the enemy of indonesia
Mr. Sogavare is always liked and attracted to majority of MPs in Solomon Islands for reasons only known to them. Over the years, he is capable of maintaining highest number of MPs. Hence, he hardly loses the PM’s seat regardless of whatever reasons for a Motion of No Confidence. Congrats on him. Another important point is he enjoys the PM position a lot more than any leader I could thought of around the world. All the rioters and looters who burnt down China Town last week knew well that fact.
“Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy.”
Those “Hooligans” will kick you out😂😂😂
@Jeffmac
Who is the financial sponsor of this riot?
Riots dont need financial support, keeping an unwanted leader around, yes it does. Who are the riots against mostly? Chinese businesses, who has the biggest interest in keeping the current leaders, China. So your question should be, who is paying off the politicians.
What is the ethnicity of the three dead victims?
People just made up easy answer for complicated problems.
Common wealth, so the queen is getting a cut huhhh
No! Not Solomon Islands! It’s on my list of chilling countries.
This issue should be resolved peacefully with an Acupressure Budget contribution as
40℅ Major Investment
30℅ Investment on Food
20℅ Minor Investment
10℅ Non anticipated Investment
the resource uneven allocation may be a problem and with lands (in this case an island) being granted to the foreign nations…
Ugh, there was very little transparency to the transaction/contract (aka confidential) and ousting of several key parliment officials abruptly… may have been the core on why many think there is corruption when the life of the populace isn’t improving despite the switch to a ‘powerhouse?’ that was said to bring economic benefits.
Like the BRi in Africa; a large sum of the project’s work salary from construction (90%++) went to a foreigner or campaign donations WHILE the nation (/its taxpayer) now owns billions of $$ in exchange.

@locky cause the Solomon prime minister cut ties with Taiwan! It that easy to figure it out
@Ryan lex I’m aware, how exactly are the democrats and the CIA influencing this coup?
@locky well CIA have long history of coup/ toppling government all around the world
@Ryan lex so you’re saying the democrats and the CIA teamed up to infiltrate the Solomon Islands government, used there influence to orchestrate a deal that would have the country cut ties with a US ally in favour of a US enemy, all in the hopes that this would trigger a coup within the Solomon Islands?
@Ryan lex what purpose did this conspiracy have? What to the democrats gain from this coup? And how did you come across this forbidden knowledge?
Go fight for you mother land Australia. stop bleming China. whem Austtalia is under occupation
Well explained and fluently spoken Mrs Sahra Clark 🙏 i wish more journalists at AJ like that.
usa is collapsing and will be in decline until forever and fell apart. they’re following russia path. both collapsing economically and society level. the worst kind of collapse is society collapse. all due to the debt crisis of the us citizens and bad system that was implemented. i’m not what sure kind democracy or capitalism value here that usa is portraying. pretty much autocratic. only small group of people maximise in profit and benefit at the expense of the masses suffering. they’re not aiming for the big reset nor they’re the cause of it. they’re expecting a big reset. because it’s the law of the world. these billionaires are buying lands millions of acres of lands especially where’s there’s farmland and fresh ground water
good
Our people are tired!! All puppet leaders for china and the west must leave and what wealth that has been hidden and amassed must be returned to the people.
He’s even wearing a Mao-suit. Could your allegiances be any more obvious? 😛
It has to be a black race, what went wrong with this race? ‘My race’, the whole of Africa is in wars, Haiti the president was killed recently, now Solomon Islands on fire. What went wrong?
Covid has made things so different.
Who organize the riots against Chinese companies ? guess which country is behind the riots?
This corrupts PM catered to the CCP. He will go down as a traitor. The people should attack the CCP embassy
Well, $$$ at work
Why did the Solomon’s government not ask the Chinese govt for assistance?
They have a treaty with Australia that allows rapid deployment of troops.They are not a Chinese ally just have businesses arrangements and have gotten into lots of debt with them.
there are too many reasons that I don’t even know where to start listing.
from “Lack of trust” or “adding fuel to the existing flame…”
Another fail CIA and democrats coup lmao
nobody like china. they don’t want chin this is the reason for these riots. they said no China
American sponsored pro regime change in Solomon islands.
Tuned n from Aotearoa New Zealand 🤪
Nothing like a good conflict before Christmas. 😉
4 It was destroyed, the earth fell; got sick, the world fell; the high peoples of the earth have sickened. 5 And the land was polluted under its inhabitants; because they transgressed the laws, they falsified the law, they broke the everlasting covenant. 6 For this reason the curse consumed the land, and its inhabitants were laid waste; for this cause the inhabitants of the earth were consumed, and men were diminished.
7 The wine is lost, the vine is sickened, all who were merry in heart groaned.
8 The rejoicing of the tambourines has ceased, the noise of those rejoicing has ceased, the joy of the harp has ceased.
9 They will not drink wine with singing; cider will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city is broken by vanity; Every house has been closed, so that no one can enter.
11 There are cries for lack of wine in the streets; all joy was darkened, joy was banished from the earth.
12 The city was desolate, and the gate was broken down with ruin.
13 For so it shall be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the peoples, like a shaken olive tree, like gleanings after the harvest.

SOLOMON ISLANDS NEED TO ARREST THOSE INFILTRATORS UNDER NATION SECURITY !!!
What a disgrace of a leader.
Taiwanese failed this round, but they will come back again with the help from UASSA
Step down
Troops from Aussie,new Zealand, Australia, PNG and Fiji protects him and China. that’s why he survives that motion of no confidence. Ask the citizens, not only people from malaita province and you will find a different story. The whole country wants him out. Even his own people call on him to step down. But sadly, Australia and all the other nations won’t let Solomon Islands have a government that the people wants. And now,we will have to fight even more for our freedom from this dictatorship leader that the other nations who can’t mind their own business have stick their noses out protect. Australia have forgotten that this is the very idiot that spat in their faces before by sneaking out Julian Moti. Lol
Con Covid: Kill people
Pro Covid: Corruption’s everywhere.
People have rejected God and so there’s confusing everywhere
The people of Solomon Please don’t do like this act because of it is racisms
How come you guys aren’t blaming BLM and antifa like the United States would be doing?
Isn’t it we’re all human all around the world were born human no matter what continent or color you are we all should have the same human rights why do some humans make more than the other humans that do the same job all around the country when there’s a fixed price on oil there’s a fixed price on goods is a fixed price of metals but you know what there is in a fixed price on labor how is that 2022?
He only survived the No confidence vote because Australia sent troops to control the people who want a democracy and to aid him a Chinese sympathizer . Are we Australia the Chinese military of the Pacific ????? looks that way
The prime minister Sold Honria to CHINA through a bad business deal!!!!
That means Solomon’s Honria is not SOVEREIGN ANYMORE. IT OWES CHINA!
The China LOAN IS MORE THAN THE freaking Island itself.
Smh…laaaaawwd
