Malaita Eagle Force

Malaita Eagles Force is a militant organization, originating in the island of Malaita, in the Solomon Islands.

It was set up during 'The Tension' in the Solomons, which were mainly centred on Guadalcanal, to defend diasporic Malaitans in Guadalcanal and the property of Malaitans that have left the island. Their spokesperson was Andrew Nori and their media reports were entitled "The Eagles View Point".

The force was mainly engaged in fighting the Isatabu Freedom Movement and the Solomon Islands government. The leader of the MEF is known as General Fads, a qualified ex-army officer who trained in the United Kingdom with the British Infantry Division. One of its rebel leaders was Jimmy Rasta.

In 1999 the MEF took over the role of military police in Honiara. They overprinted the current definitive stamps that had been seized from the post office, with the words "Malaita Eagle Force", to indicate they were in power. However, these stamps were never officially issued because the Malaita Eagle Force were disarmed after the Townsville Peace Agreement.
