The new Solomon Islands prime minister-elect, Snyder Rini, has appealed for calm after more than 30 hours of violent protests over his election.

The thing is, people think the Solomon Islands' election had been rigged. They felt Snyder is too aligned to the minority ethnic Chinese community what with both China and Taiwan dangling carrots in recent years in attempts to foster diplomatic ties.

On an aside, do you notice that there is a Chinatown in just about every country in the world? Wow.

With 992 islands making the country, Solomon will be hard to govern so maybe the ANZAC's involvement is a good thing. I don't reckon Synder has the resources to protect his country at this point, especially Honiara, the capital city, which is burning to the ground as we speak.
