 NADI, Fiji (AP) - Tears roll from Mohammad Ahmad Khan's eyes as he gazes at the trees he planted to mark the birth of each of his 10 children. Soon he will dismantle his ramshackle house, pack up his modest belongings and join thousands of Fijian farmers who are leaving their land.
Khan is a victim of British colonial history, the ethnic divide running through this South Pacific archipelago, and the fickle world market for sugar.
All these issues are coming to a head in an election beginning Friday that will once again test Fiji's coup-prone democracy.
