Rogue yacht looking for fruit ordered to leave Niue

6:12 pm on 23 December 2020

Police in Niue have ordered a yacht to leave after it arrived unannounced on Monday evening (Tues NZT).

The French-flagged vessel was en route to New Caledonia from Tahiti, and hadn't radioed its arrival when it was spotted off Alofi Bay.

Niue's public broadcaster said those on board had gone to Niue seeking fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and diesel.

But instead, they were ordered to leave Niue.

"Niue continues to have strict border restrictions and our waters are closed to all yachts," police chief Tim Wilson told the BCN.

"The Niue Police urge all yachts in the vicinity of Niue waters to check their routes before they depart and to respect our border restrictions.

The island's borders remain closed.

𝗧 he MAGA movement, branded by critics as a cult worshiping Donald Trump’s brash persona, is teetering on a knife’s edge. Trump’s 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records, tied to hush money payments to cover an extramarital affair, stain his “drain the swamp” promise—a pledge to purge Washington of corruption.  Coupled with failure to deliver, vicious infighting, disillusionment, and Trump’s inevitable exit, these could obliterate MAGA’s future, leaving it a fractured relic of populist fury....
