Wellington - Fiji's military ruler Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama gave the senior diplomats of New Zealand and Australia 24 hours to leave the country on Tuesday and ordered his country's high commissioner in Canberra to return home. In a televised address from the capital Suva, he accused the envoys of waging a negative campaign against his military government, which seized power in a bloodless coup in December 2006.
