In spite of international pressure, Fiji's military ruler, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, said there will be no elections in Fiji until 2014. Bainmarama seized power in a 2006 coup and has been criticized for being unwilling to give up power.
The statement was prompted by a decision by the Pacific Islands Forum, a 16-nation bloc, to suspend Fiji if it did nout announce 2009 elections.
