1. Some new information I have found on this topic is troops were not ordered to go and coup. Meanwhile Prime Minister Qarase told Reuters news agency: “The deadline has now passed. I have been informed that the new deadline is Monday midday.” However, there has been no word from Commander Bainimarama on a new deadline.

2. What I found really interesting about this topic was finding out what a coup. I have never heard of this word until now. What I also found interesting was a commander is going against the Prime Minister, that truly is interesting to me.

3.What I liked about the initial blog posting was how Joe clearly spread out the citation of the news article, this made it a lot easier for me to see where he got his information from. I also really liked his picture, it clearly shows that they are against each other because it has that line separating them.
