"Papua New Guinea Tribal Conflict Claims Dozens of Lives"

Sixty-four bodies have been found in Papua New Guinea's highlands following an ambush by a rival tribe, marking an escalation in the long-standing violence between local warring tribes. The area has been plagued by tit-for-tat mass killings, with the use of mercenaries and automatic weapons intensifying the cycle of violence. The government's efforts to control the violence have had little success, and the police force is reportedly ill-equipped to handle the situation. The incident has prompted calls for increased police deployment and support from neighboring countries.
