Yearbook 2004
Solomon Islands. According to CountryAAH, the total population in Solomon Islands is 686,895 people in 2020. The situation in the war-torn Solomon Islands was relatively calm after the Australian-led peacekeeping force arrived in 2003 to restore law and order, following the mutual fighting between local militia groups. However, a member of the peace force was shot dead, and Australia decided to send more troops. Over 3,700 weapons had been collected in a year, those responsible for the previous chaos had been seized and new personnel had been recruited to the previously collapsed local police force.
The country’s economy also began to show signs of recovery. The operation of the Peace Force was the largest military operation in the South Pacific since World War II. In addition to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Papua New Guinea participated in the peace mission. According to abbreviationfinder, SB stands for Solomon Islands in text.
