When a Nation, any nation, is unable to control the actions of the people that live there to the
point that it adversely affects their neighbors, then they should expect said neighbors to
intervene.

From the research that I have done, it would appear that the situation in the Solomon’s is such
that the government can not regain control with out the help of outsiders. The government is
also over the Last decade, been unwilling to make needed reforms. When a government looses
both the support of the majority of the people and the ability to control them, then the
government has lost its mandate to rule. This is a prime example of why foreign intervention
happens.

If the people support Keke, then they should rise up and seize their birthright and replace the
government. If they don’t support Keke, then they should seek him and his out and destroy this
threat to their homeland. If they allow the AU’s in under these terms, they will soon be second
class people in their own country.

Personally, I think the truth lies in the deep sea geology of the region. The people of the
Solomon’s should be bombarding the UN with requests for military aid that originates from
countries more neutral to the long term outcome. If these people don’t take a proactive stance
and force this issue to the front page of western news outlets, they will not get the help that they
deserve.
