The RFMF provided a comprehensive briefing on its internal reconciliation efforts, which commenced formally in March 2023 and have since evolved into a nationally inclusive process,” the RFMF said in the statement.“The presentation outlined a structured, two-phased approach grounded in awareness campaigns, institutional reflection, community outreach, truth-telling, and peacebuilding, all embedded within Fiji’s cultural and spiritual traditions.“The FTRC Chairperson, Marcus Brand, commended the RFMF for its courageous and forward-leaning initiative.



He noted that few institutions globally have undertaken such a rigorous and introspective process of reconciliation.”The Commission acknowledged the RFMF’s genuine efforts to engage former service members, community leaders, traditional authorities, political stakeholders, and survivors from all sides of Fiji’s past upheavals.The post Military praised for reconciliation efforts appeared first on The Fiji Times.
