BULA - Welcome to Pacifikana - the website for Fijians, serving or wishing to serve, in the British Armed Services and their families. Our aim is to help make your move from Fiji as smooth as possible and to inform you, as best we can, of the great (and not so great!) experiences you may encounter in the UK and Germany.
Marika's deportation hearing was successful and he is allowed to stay in the UK. Your contribution and support by signing the petitions has helped so much to win the case. Now we are waiting for the result of the European Court of Human Rights.
We would like to thank all of you for your support. Many people have visited the website and many signed the petitions. Thank you so much and Vinaka Vakalevu! Please keep spreading the word about this website to make it a great success for all of us!

But most importantly we would like you to make this YOUR website - share your stories, thoughts and ideas and contact others who may be in the same situation as you.
 Marika's story
Marika had been serving in the British army for nearly 7 years when he was dismissed and issued with a 16 months prison sentence.
While defending himself and a friend against discrimination and verbal abuse he found himself caught up in a trivial bar fight and now faces deportation following his jail sentence.
A devoted soldier and a loyal friend, Marika feels that this is all a result of an unfair trial; this is what inspired us to establish Pacifikana.
