Two women's organisations in Fiji have welcomed criticism of the country's interim government from Samoa. Samoa's prime minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, has accused his Fiji counterpart of lying to the Pacific islands Forum over the country's political future. He's urged the people of Fiji to reclaim their government. The Fiji Womens Rights Movement and the Fiji Womens Crisis center have welcomed those comments, saying they are fair and accurate.
