Samoa and Tokelau are the first to toast in 2012
Two countries Samoa and Tokelau are the first to toast in 2012 after skipping a day by jumping west across the
international dateline.
As midnight of 29 December ended, the two South Pacific island nations fast-forwarded to 31 December, missing
out on 30 December entirely.
Fiji decided to lift emergency law
Prime Minister and military strongman of Fiji Voreqe Bainimarama said decided to lift emergency laws in place
since a 2009 political crisis and begin discussions on a new Constitution. The emergency laws had draconian
regulations, including tight censorship on the news media and a ban on public meetings, were imposed after a Fiji
court ruled that Bainimarama’s 2006 coup was illegal. The move has been welcomed by several countries.
