Prime Minister and Army Commander Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama said the attempted mutiny in November, 2000, 12 years ago was a real attempt to grab power as certain individuals thought that by misguiding a few, they could take him out.
However, Commodore Bainimarama has told Fijivillage that these people underestimated the RFMF.
Commodore Bainimarama said the rebel soldiers were shooting people at random on that day and many people put their lives on the line to ensure that the situation was contained.
Commander Bainimarama said he even spoke to the CRW soldiers following their arrest after the 2000 coup.
He said the RFMF has moved well ahead to ensure that everyone is protected compared to what some individuals were doing in 2000.
