Morobe Law & Order Officers Travel to Yalumet to Resolve 20-Year Conflict

Provincial and  District Authorities in  Morobe, Papua New Guinea, have gathered in Yalumet in the Kabwum District on the  eve of the 41st  Independence  celebration to hold a reconciliation  ceremony between  feuding clans.

The political conflict   peaked  during the  1987 elections when  several people were injured  and properties destroyed.

Over the past 20 years, there has been ongoing fighting between the local clans  over various issues related to it.

The conflict has  also  affected the operation of  schools, health  centres and other services.

Today, members of the provincial law and order committee travelled to Yalumet to  witness the reconciliation process.

Various parts of the  Kabwum and Finschhafen Districts have been affected by ongoing tribal conflicts  over the last 24 months.

In 2015, fighting in Pindiu in the Finschhafen District resulted in the killing of a policeman and several villagers.

The law and order officers hope that  the clans at Yalumet will find  common ground to  move forward after 20 years of sporadic fighting.
