West Texas,USA : In June of this year, my wife and I traveled to Tonga. It was a fantastic trip in which we experienced the warmth and hospitality of the Tongan way. I would especially like to thank the airport officials who went above and beyond the call of duty to assist my wife and I. This letter is not about that, it is written to those who participated in those terrible riots that destroyed so very much and cost the lives of so many.. Ohh, my friends how I weep for those families I send to them my love, my condolences and my concern. - Larry Norton -

Nuku'alofa, Tonga : I am currently living in California of the United States, and I am just devastated of the recent attacks on our city. I just left Tonga two weeks ago from my uncle's funeral, and the last memory I had with Nuku'alofa was having breakfast with my cousin at Cafe Escape. I have gone back to Tonga every school holiday for the last 8 years, and as an American born I have witnessed some great developments in Tonga's capital. I am just shocked and sadden of the destruction of the beloved city, and hope that those who were involved and those whom lead the riot face punishment for their actions. - Ane Tapa‘atoutai -

Nuku'alofa, Tonga : What we have seen was reminding me of the Holocaust, just as Nazis did to the Jews, 'ko e loto ‘oku kovi' A biblical country thought that everything on the media is like reading a bible, everything is 'true'.

San Francisco,California, USA : For more than a decade, I have listened to the propaganda of Mr. Akilisi Pohiva, and rightly voiced my support toward his cause amongst my peers. In the months leading to the general strikes by the civil servants, and following, the message to be received from Mr. Akilisi Pohiva was of hatred and violence; always promoting and planting the seeds for a revolution and anarchy. - Lochlein Sekona -

Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. : Double-talking gives comfort to these terrorists who took the law into their own hands: violating people...s freedom, violating their right to live in peace without fear, to enjoy their human rights of 'dignity', and the democratic right to own properties. - Sione Mokofisia -

London, UK : I remember reading somewhere that Akilisi Pohiva once said that the current King of Tonga is out of touch with his people. However, recently, when HM King George Tupou V completed his tour of the Tonga islands, his trip was hailed a great success due to his approachable manner by all who saw and met him. Could it be that Akilisi and his fellow People's Representatives are in fact the ones who are out of touch with the people of Tonga? - Ilanu Finau -
