Deja vu in Nauru – state of emergency & fresh elections
In my previous post that I uploaded last night, I set out the background of the current political crisis in Nauru, comparing it to the events leading up to the state of emergency and elections in late 2004.
Well, President Stephen has today declared a state of emergency and called fresh elections. See this article also. The sequence of events, and the dual-citizenship issue that formed its catalyst, is almost the same as four years ago.
The election is reportedly to be held as early as next week.
