  • Andrew Nori (1952 – 9 July 2013) was a Solomon Islands lawyer and politician, arguably best known for his role in the ethnic conflict on Guadalcanal in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His father, , was one of the founders of the Maasina Ruru movement of civil disobedience against British colonial rule, in the 1940s. A barrister by profession, Andrew Nori was "one of the first Solomon Islanders to qualify as a lawyer", and eventually became president of the Solomon Islands bar association. He began his political career when he was elected to the National Parliament in the 1984 general election, as MP for the constituency. Prime Minister Sir Peter Kenilorea appointed him Minister for Home Affairs and Provincial Government, a position which he held for four years. He was re-elected in 1989, and, as head of the , was for a time appointed Leader of the Official Opposition to Prime Minister Solomon Mamaloni's government. Re-elected to Parliament for a third term in 1993, he was appointed Minister for Finance in Prime Minister Francis Billy Hilly's government. In September 1994, he resigned in the face of reports that over A$70,000 had been transferred to his personal bank account from "an unnamed overseas source". He stated that he had "listed the amount with the relevant leadership code commission", but was stepping down "until his name was cleared". He did not regain his Cabinet position, and was defeated in his bid to retain his Parliament seat in the 1997 general election. This marked the end of his career in national politics. When migrants from Malaita in Guadalcanal began to be subject to violence from local ethnic militant groups in late 1999, and the armed Malaita Eagle Force was formed to defend their interests, Nori, himself a Malaitan, rapidly emerged as the "leader" or "spokesman" of the Eagle Force. On 5 June 2000, he led the Eagle Force into a coup d'état against Prime Minister Bartholomew Ulufa'alu, taking him hostage at gunpoint and demanding that he resign. Nori accused Ulufa'alu of not having prevented an escalation in the ethnic conflicts on Guadalcanal. The Eagle Force was temporarily described as "in control" of the capital city, Honiara. Nori told the Australian media he had led the coup because there was "a need for an immediate change in leadership and for the issues relating to peace to be focussed on more seriously and for a more efficient method and mechanism to be established to attend to peace issues and on the negotiation between the warring parties on Guadalcanal". The coup rapidly led to the arrival of a Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group delegation, which was welcomed by Nori, who expressed his hope that it would result in peace being brokered between the ethnic factions. Parliament voted to elect Manasseh Sogavare to the premiership, replacing Ulufa'alu, and the ethnic conflicts ceased for the most part with the Townsville Peace Agreement in October. In September 2000, the Pacific Media Watch accused Nori of having threatened journalist Duran Angiki and his family over an allegedly incorrect report published by the latter on Nori. In 2009, still practicing as a lawyer, Nori made headlines again by publicly criticising the , saying it would entrench rather than resolve political instability in the country. As of early 2011, he was working as a consultant to the Customary Land Reform Unit, researching rules of customary land ownership throughout the country with an aim towards a government policy "to codify customary land laws and have them elevated to statutory status". In 2012, he was elected President of the National Olympic Committee of Solomon Islands. He died in hospital in Honiara on 9 July 2013, "after a long illness". In its obituary, the newspaper Solomon Star praised him as a "great leader" and one of the "greatest figures" in the country's history. Andrew Nori's wife, , founded the Twelve Pillars to Peace and Prosperity Party in 2010. She is also the former president of the Solomon Islands Netball Association. (en)
  • Andrew Nori (né en 1952 ; mort le 9 juillet 2013 à Honiara) est un homme politique et avocat salomonais, principalement connu pour son rôle dans le conflit inter-ethnique à Guadalcanal à la fin des années 1990 et au début des années 2000. (fr)
  • Andrew Nori (Honiara, 1952 - Honiara, 9 de julho de 2013) foi um advogado e político das Ilhas Salomão, indiscutivelmente mais conhecido por seu papel no conflito étnico em Guadalcanal no final dos anos 1990 e início dos anos 2000. Seu pai, Nori Nono'oohimae, foi um dos fundadores do movimento de desobediência civil contra o domínio colonial britânico, na década de 1940. Um barrister de profissão, Andrew Nori foi "um dos primeiros habitantes das Ilhas Salomão a se qualificar como advogado", e acabou se tornando presidente da Ordem dos Advogados das Ilhas Salomão. Iniciou a sua carreira política quando foi eleito para o Parlamento Nacional nas eleições gerais de 1984, como parlamentar pela circunscrição eleitoral de West 'Are'are. O primeiro-ministro Sir Peter Kenilorea nomeou-o Ministro da Administração Interna e do Governo Provincial, cargo que ocupou durante quatro anos. Foi reeleito em 1989 e, como chefe da Frente Nacionalista para o Progresso, foi por um tempo nomeado Líder da Oposição Oficial ao governo do primeiro-ministro . Reeleito para o Parlamento para um terceiro mandato em 1993, foi nomeado Ministro das Finanças no governo do primeiro-ministro Francis Billy Hilly. Em setembro de 1994, renunciou diante de relatos de que mais de 70.000 dólares australianos haviam sido transferidos para sua conta bancária pessoal de "uma fonte estrangeira não identificada". Ele afirmou que havia declarado esse montante às autoridades competentes, porém estava deixando o cargo "até que seu nome fosse limpo". Jamais recuperou sua posição no Gabinete e foi derrotado em sua tentativa de manter seu assento no Parlamento nas eleições gerais de 1997. Isso marcou o fim de sua carreira na política nacional. Quando os migrantes de Malaita em Guadalcanal começaram a ser sujeitos à violência de grupos militantes étnicos locais no final de 1999, e a organização armada Força Águia de Malaita foi formada para defender seus interesses, Nori, ele próprio um malaitano, emergiu rapidamente como o "líder" ou "porta-voz " da Força Águia. Em 5 de junho de 2000, liderou a Força Águia em um golpe de Estado contra o primeiro-ministro Bartholomew Ulufa'alu, fazendo-o refém sob a mira de uma arma e exigindo sua renúncia. Nori acusou Ulufa'alu de não ter evitado uma escalada nos conflitos étnicos em Guadalcanal. A Força Águia foi temporariamente descrita como "no controle" da capital, Honiara. Nori disse à mídia australiana que liderou o golpe porque havia "a necessidade de uma mudança imediata na liderança e de que as questões relacionadas com a paz sejam focadas com mais seriedade e para que um método e mecanismo mais eficientes fossem estabelecidos para atender às questões de paz e na negociação entre as partes beligerantes em Guadalcanal". O golpe rapidamente levou à chegada de uma delegação do Grupo de Ação Ministerial da Commonwealth, que foi bem recebida por Nori, que expressou sua esperança de que isso resultaria na mediação da paz entre as facções étnicas. O Parlamento votou para eleger Manasseh Sogavare para o cargo de primeiro-ministro, substituindo Ulufa'alu, e os conflitos étnicos cessaram em sua maior parte com o em outubro. Nori se retirou do cenário político e continuou seu trabalho como advogado. Faleceu no hospital em Honiara em 9 de julho de 2013 "após uma longa doença". (pt)
