Western United Front (WUF) was an ethnically Fijian political party formed prior to the 1982 elections and contested the election in coalition with the National Federation Party (NFP-WUF Coalition). == The formation of the Party == Its support was concentrated in the Western Division, mainly in the provinces of Nadroga and Ba. Its formation was due to disenchantment of western Fijians about not receiving fair return from the Native Land Trust Board (NLTB) from the income derived from their land. Fiji's foreign exchange earnings are mainly generated from sugar, tourism, pine and gold, produced in the western division. It was claimed that western landowners, despite providing 65% of the money that financed the NLTB, received only 9%. The Party was launched on 17 July 1981 with the following goals: * Protect and encourage the unity of western Fijians * Protect the interests of landowners and to defend their rights to develop their resources according to their aspirations. * Seek changes in the Ministry of Fijian Affairs and Rural Development to improve the lives of western Fijians. * Improve educational facilities of western Fijians and provide them opportunities in commercial and industrial enterprises. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western United Front」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
