In the province of England in Papua New Guinea, a tragedy took place, which killed at least 64 people due to cross -tribal shooting. The conflict that has erupted in distant terrain has become the most fragile in recent years.
Police report that one of the tribes, along with their allies and mercenaries, was sent to an attack on a neighboring tribe, but was ambushed. The number of casualties can grow as the police continue to look for bodies and wounded. Police consider this incident to be the most horrible in this region in recent years.
“It is, no doubt, the most horrible murder I saw in the province of Ang, perhaps in all of Hayland. We are all shocked, we are all in tension. It's really difficult to think about, ”said police officer George Kakas.
It is known that approximately 17 tribes participated in the conflict. Frequent conflicts arise due to land dispute and resources, and escalation is becoming more frequent due to the spread of illegal firearms.
Last July, the local authorities introduced a three -month curfew and a restriction on the trip to Engi to control the situation in the region. Authorities call the tribal leaders to resolve conflicts and rests with security forces to regulate clashes.
