More than a pay dispute: what's really behind the Papua New Guinea riots

Wednesday, January 17, 2024

Prime Minister James Marape declared a state of emergency as shops were set on fire and citizens shot.

Key Points: 
  • Prime Minister James Marape declared a state of emergency as shops were set on fire and citizens shot.
  • Whatever the reason, public servants, crucially including the beleaguered police force, promptly went on strike and abandoned their posts, leading to the violence and looting.
  • Whether Marape’s or the political opposition’s explanation is plausible is perhaps less important than trying to understand the underlying causes of such apparently spontaneous violence.
  • Prior to European contact, a total of about 2,000 Motu and Koita villagers lived in the Port Moresby area.
  • Read more:
    World leaders are flocking to Papua New Guinea.
  • We also know most of its residents are as shocked and appalled by the violence as we are.
