Ten years on since this multi-national, Pacific nations, intervention the Lowy Institute's weblog has two commentaries. For Americans the Solomon Islands may mean little, so this word will - Guadalcanal.

The shortest is by an Australian diplomat:http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/...ith-RAMSI.aspx

Within is a gem; a strange situation for both sides:
I got to know Prime Minister Allan Kemakeza pretty well as I accompanied Nick Warner to his daily briefing sessions with the PM. Although Kemakeza has been criticised, I thought he showed a lot of courage to not only facilitate the intervention but to work so closely with RAMSI to ensure the mission's success, especially given that he knew he would one day be arrested by RAMSI police and probably jailed for his role in a raid on a law firm in 2002, which he eventually was in 2008.
The longer piece, with many links, is a backgrounder and notes the mission is now police-led, with the military component leaving tis month:http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/...-years-on.aspx

The phrase 'unique and complex' comes from an ADF officer.
