Solomon Times spoke to few locals around town regarding the intended demonstration.
"A rumor about the demonstration may have been sparked because of what happened in April 2007. I have taken precautions for my children but I don't think a demonstration should be encouraged as it will only spark a lot of fear within Honiara," stated Mr. Jack Aru, a father of four.
Speaking with Solomon Times a security officer from the Solomon Security Mr. Cleveland Ladomea stated that there may have been a misunderstanding.
