Revolutionary not Evolutionary





Friday/Saturday, November 24/25, 2006

Nuku'alofa (Tonga) We, two indymedia (www.indymedia.org.nz) activists, arrived at Fua'amato International Airport early on Friday morning from Aotearoa. After leaving the plane we had to walk to the arrival hall past three Tongan soldiers, two of which were carrying large rifles and the other a hand gun. A police officer walked around with his dog while people where waiting at the immigration desks. More members of the Tongan Defense Force (TDF), armed and in camouflage gear, stood around in the arrival hall. On our way into town we past a military checkpoint at the turn-off to the airport. They didn't pull us over and we drove the 20kms into the city.
