CHAOS AND RIOTING Break Out on Solomon Islands in Defiance to Govt-Imposed COVID Lockdowns

Rioting broke out in the Solomon Islands over the COVID lockdowns. The citizens defied the government-enforced lockdowns and torched the buildings in the capital Honiara.

The locals are also outraged that the government severed ties with Taiwan in favor of the Communist Chinese.

Reuters reported:

Australia will deploy more than 100 police and military personnel to aid the Solomon Islands, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday, as protesters in the Pacific Island nation defied a curfew to protest for a second consecutive day.

Morrison said Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare had requested Australian assistance, which Canberra’s national security committee quickly approved.

Australia will send 23 police officers immediately to assist with riot control, Morrison said, with a further 50 personnel to enforce security at critical infrastructure.
