No one is going to tell us how to run our country.

These are the words of Deputy Secretary for Information and Military Spokesperson, Major Neumi Leweni responding to Samoa's Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele's comments about Fiji.

Sailele was reported to have said that the best move for Fiji's future would be if the army was dissolved as it is destroying the political and economic lives of the Fiji people.

However, Leweni said Fiji should be left to deal with its own affairs.
