Tagata o te Moana for 4 April 2015

Thousands displaced when a super typhoon hits the Federated States of Micronesia; Vanuatu is now more broadly assessing the impact of the cyclone there; New Caledonia elects a new president but controversy remains; mining and a referendum on independence are the main focus going into next month's Bougainville election; the ongoing squabble over the Fiji government's plans to change the flag; what the ADB thinks of Papua New Guinea's efforts to spread the wealth earned from its mineral resources; and politics in the Cooks settle down, nine months after the election.
