"Deadly Tribal Clashes Claim Dozens of Lives in Papua New Guinea"

Dozens of people were killed in clashes between more than a dozen tribal groups in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea, with the death toll initially reported at over 50 but later revised to around 26 by the police. The violence has left bodies scattered across fields, roads, and near a river, with as many as 17 tribes involved in the clashes. Papua New Guinea, with its rich mineral resources and diverse cultural landscape, has been plagued by tribal violence despite its external image as a unified country.

"Deadly Tribal Violence Claims Dozens in Papua New Guinea"

At least 53 men were massacred in a tribal violence escalation in Papua New Guinea's remote highlands, with the death toll expected to rise. The violence occurred as a tribe, their allies, and mercenaries were ambushed while on their way to attack a neighboring tribe. The Australian government has expressed readiness to assist Papua New Guinea, which is facing increasing internal security challenges. The violence in the Enga region has intensified since the 2022 elections, and warnings of tribal fighting had been issued prior to the massacre.
