Solomon Islands: People want RAMSI to remain
Updated
An overwhelming majority of Solomon Islanders want the Australia-led Regional Assistance Mission to continue with its work in the country. This is one of the key findings of an independent nation-wide survey of how Ramsi is performing against its objectives. It found that more than 90 percent of the people want Ramsi to remain - and 80 percent feared a return of violence if Ramsi was to leave soon. The Deputy Special Coordinator of Ramsi, Jonathan Austin says while the survey showed improvements in many areas, there's concerns about corruption, lack of accountability and the adverse effects of logging.
