Troops on streets in Fiji's "coup by strangulation"

It's weird to read about warfare and strife in Fiji since I've always pictured it as an exotic tourist destination with serene, beyond gorgeous coastline in the South Pacific, which in itself conjures up images of lazy Sundays lying on the hammock. Something along the lines of this promotional website.

I thought of it as a quiet island whose abundance of gorgeous scenery was the perfect tourist attraction.
