Much as I love the Fijian coup of 1987, gotta give it to the Roach here.
Uh, what happened in the Fijian coup of 1987?

Indian-Fijian Prime Minister was ousted by Native Fijian nationalists in the military. Supreme Court and Governor-General tried to rule it illegal and set up a new government so military ousted the Governor-General as well and declared a republic. Military regime was set up which later transitioned into an elected government under a system specifically designed to ensure Native Fijian dominance until 1999.

The politics of Fiji are incredibly depressing.

More or less depressing than Rochambeau's posting history?

Also I'm not sure if I'd count the 2000 event as a coup or simply "attempted coup". The coupsters never won international recognition which appears to be the standard if a collapsed coup was ever succesful.
