News Items
For some time after the coup in the Solomon Islands, nearly all telecommunications with the outside world were cut off. For about 18 hours this website, Te Karere Ipurangi, was the only media receiving any news from the Solomons, via a much appreciated email link with the Solomons Islands Broadcasting Corporation newsroom. The intenational media with their vast resources has since caught up, but SIBC news will still be posted here.
