Confusion reigns as Tongan pastors and soldiers prepare protest

They will join a call for Prime Minister ʻAkilisi Pohiva to stop any move by his government to allow a casino to be built in Tonga.

In a strongly worded letter, the protestors have told the government it has welcomed the devil into Tonga.

But there is confusion about whether the devil really is coming to the island kingdom, with different reports saying the casino has been approved, is pending or has been rejected.

Requests for confirmation from the government have gone unanswered.
