Images of the coup: Day 52

Commodore Frank Bainimarama (left) and George Speight shake hands after signing an agreement to resolve the hostage crisis. If the deal lasts, the 27 hostages held at Parliament by Speight's rebels will be freed on Thursday, July 13. Both sides have agreed in writing that the Great Council of Chiefs will meet that day to nominate a new president and vice-president for Fiji.
