The Solomon Islands saw anti-government riots for a second day on Thursday as thousands of protesters swarmed the capital Honiara, setting fire to buildings in the city’s Chinatown.
Eyewitnesses and local media showed images of buildings engulfed in flames and plumes of thick smoke billowing above the capital.
The unrest defied a 36-hour lockdown declared a day after protesters attempted to storm parliament and topple Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare.
The prime minister said his government was still in control. (DW)
