Berenado Vunibobo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berenado Vunibobo is Fiji's current permanent representative to the United Nations.[1]. He represents the present, unelected Fiji government led by Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama. Vunibobo's predecessor, Isikia Savua, has suggested that one of his tasks will be to counteract potential pressure from countries such as Australia or New Zealand who may seek to have Fiji removed from United Nations peacekeeping operations[2]. Vunibobo has agreed with the assessment, and stated:
- “The biggest challenge for me, looking at our current situation, is to try and update various people of the developments here in our country. We lack the resources our critics have and we can see that these critics are putting pressure on the UN and British government not to recruit peacekeepers from Fiji.”[3]
