| [MSN] Samoa's Opposition leader says the outgoing administration is refusing to step aside and the country is facing a "bloodless coup". Samoa's Head of State Tuimaleali'ifano Va'aleto'a Sualauvi II announced late on Saturday night the scheduled swearing-in on Monday would be suspended "until such time as to be announced and for reasons that I will make known in due course". Samoa's Supreme Court later overturned this proclamation. Fiame Naomi Mata'afa, FAST Party leader and Prime Minister in waiting, is suspicious of the incumbent prime minister. |
