Divide and rule is a combination of political, military and economic strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. That my friends is straight out from wikipedia thanks to them. This strategy has been engaged throughout history and it shouldn't be new to us if you know history. One could say that it also correlates with human behaviour, how we interact hence the execution of such tactics, well we can't behave like anything else but humans so this strategy will stand the test of time. Power struggle or destroying a premonition that an intact group could cause havoc later. However this is a strategy that can be employed by both sides but who ever executes it perfectly would be elevated. It is always done in absolute discretion without the unsuspecting party knowing the concealed motives of the other.
Fiji is no stranger to this tactics as it was employed by our ancestors in raw cloak and dagger fashion but who would have thought that we would be trapped in our own devices. The Tongans are a respectable people, formidable opponents in the past and more so in Pacific politics most recently. It would be a big mistake or a bad miscalculation on our part if we stand back and let things happen the way its going right now. It only takes a moment of slackness to let the devil in. Though we are neighbours, history has enlightened us just how treacherous the Tongans can be, their influence over Polynesia is evident of their prowess. Fiji is no exception if choose to ignore them. This day and age we fight on a different front, politics, economics and if unavoided military intervention which is why education seems to be the acquired choice of weapons(knowledge is power) for an all out modern war. It gives me the chills to think of it but it cannot be ignored a cold war is inevitable. I would shout just to drive the point home, THE FIJIANS(ITAUKEI whichever arsehole came up with the name) ARE SCATTERED OR HAVE BEEN DIVIDED. Well thats the true picture we are divided but their is hope and the only thing that can unite us FIJIANS is....I won't say it because revealing it would mean giving up our ONLY source of strength. Observing the Tongans operate is like watching a painter on a canvas, the patience, almost meticulous like an archeologist. But everything has its weakness once you identify it, well, you are in a position to make deals or just exterminate it. But we are a enlightened people(found the true and living GOD) we forgive and move on.
