Police fire teargas to control protests
The pro-Beijing Solomons national government has finally got its man.
Daniel Suidani, the premier of the most populous Malaita Province, has, for years, been a political hurdle standing in the way of closer ties with the Chinese Communist Party.
On Feb. 7, Suidani faced another no-confidence vote against his leadership, and this time, the dissenters were successful, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Around 17 assembly members voted for Suidani’s removal from office.
