Use British English date August 2011 Use dmy dates date August 2011 MaasinaRuru was an emancipation movement for self government and self determination during and after World War II , 1945 1950, credited with creating the movement towards independence for the Solomon Islands . The name is from the Are are language meaning the Rule of relationship of siblings together and is often corrupted to Marching Rule , Marxist Rule , or Rule of Brotherhood . Foundation and influences The movement was created after Nori Nono oohimae , Aliki Nono oohimae and Jonathan Fiifii i worked together in the Solomon Islands Labour Corps during World War II. One of the influences is said to have been the African American soldiers whose humane treatment of the fellow workers was markedly different from the plantation owners. They spread a message of independence amongst the Malaita n soldiers who began a campaign of non compliance and civil disobedience . They were also influenced by other revolutionary or anti government movements, progressive missionaries such as Rev. Richard Fallowes and apocalyptic movement s such as that of the priest Noto i . During 1939 in Uogwari and Atobala he had been a prophet of the ancestor La aka and channelled that Tulagi would be destroyed and the government would be thrown into the sea. His followers were arrested by the government but in 1946, the capital moved from Tulagi to Honiara . Noto i joined the MaasinaRuru movement as did people from all over the islands. Operation DeLouse and Operation Jericho In 1947, the British government launched Operation De Louse to arrest the leaders of the movement. The nine main chiefs or Alaha were also arrested and charged under the Sedition Act for organising secret meetings. This despite the fact that MaasinaRuru meetings were mass meetings of thousands of people at a time. They were mostly sentenced, including Fifi i, Nonoohimae and Aliki, to six and a half years hard labour. While the leaders were in jail the campaign ... more details
