The Nobel Prize winning South African peace advocate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has arrived in Solomon Islands where he'll launch the country's truth and Reconciliation Commission of Inquiry on Wednesday. Archbishop Tutu said the magnitude of South Africa's conflict was much bigger than Solomon Islands, and if South Africa can achieve peace, Solomon Islands can as well. He was met at the airport by Prime Minister Derek Sikua, members of Parliament, representatives of foreign missions and church leaders.
