Bairiki Southern Tarawa in Kiribati KIRIBATI kiribati. bairiki-southern-tarawa Informations and links Bairiki Southern Tarawa Map Bairiki Southern Tarawa Photos Bairiki Southern Tarawa Population on 07-Nov-00 : 36717 ------------------------------- South Tarawa (in Gilbertese and English: Teinainano Urban Council or abr. TUC) is the official capital of the Republic of Kiribati on Tarawa Atoll. The meaning of Teinainano is "down of the mast", alluding to the sail-shape of the atoll. The South Tarawa population center consists of all the small islets between Bairiki (on the west) to Temaiku/Bonriki on the east. All of several once separate islets are joined by causeways, forming one long islet on the reef along the southern side of the Tarawa Lagoon. There is also a relatively new causeway—the Japanese Causeway—that links South Tarawa to Betio. South Tarawa is located at 1°19' North, 172°58' East (1.31667, 172.9667). [1] There is a Kiribati Teacher College and one University of the South Pacific centre on South Tarawa. Bairiki is sometimes considered the capital of Kiribati because at one time both the Parliament and the Presidency (and main administrative offices) were located there. The Parliament meets on Ambo islet; various ministries are scattered between South Tarawa, Betio and Christmas Island (ministry of the Line and Phoenix islands). The Roman Catholic diocese and the Kiribati Protestant Church (Congregational) are situated on South Tarawa. Bairiki (executive), Ambo (legislative), Betio (judicial) are the main sites of the capital. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) The Gilbert Islands were granted self-rule by the UK in 1971 and complete independence in 1979 under the new name of Kiribati. The US relinquished all claims to the sparsely inhabited Phoenix and Line Island groups in a 1979 treaty of friendship with Kiribati..
