TARI! TARI! TARI! KKK!
Many of us grew up in POM. We have friends, families, jobs, education in POM. Its been years now. We love this city we call home now. Yes we are from Hela but you people do not care that Tari is just one of the many districts and villages in the province. Tari just kamap big nem tasol lo bagarapim.
Home is where the heart is. But our heart bleeds everytime we think of home. Tribal fights, no law and order, poor education standards, poor health service coverage, poor road conditions and coverages, no fire station, no dependable electricity and water supply, no business opportunities, no employment opportunities, poor public service mechanism and the list goes on. How can our people strive in this kind of environment? Where the Government and the Developer playing divide and rule tactics to rob us of our natural resources wealth. A hostile, volatile environment. Will you? Put youselves in our shoes. We lost fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, friends in the very place we call home. We have become refugees in our own country.
We as Papua New Guineans have all the right under the sun, in this beatiful country of ours to live our lives to the fullest, and to the best of our abilities as mentioned and enshrined in the constitution by our forefathers for our great nation. We have all the right to be here just as you, no matter the circumstance, job difference, employed or not, educated or not, men, women, children, black skinned, white skinned, soft hair, fuzzy, who gives a shit. At least theres clothes on our back, food on our table and a place to rest our heads. Money doesn't grow on trees. You must struggle.
"Send them home. Charter planes, hire buses, hire boats and ships, just kill them all." WOW, PNG vs PNG. Then fellow Papua New Guineans ask them also to provide an aid in billions of Kina to these provinces so they can build better schools, health systems, airports, roads, bridges, law and order, create jobs, business opportunities, everything a provincial town needs. Better incentives so that this people don't come. Because we, well off Papua New Guineans are bleaching and scrubing our skins white and do not care about other black poor people of this country.
Lives were lost, people were injured. Laws were broke. Life is precious. Law brings peace and order. Only God makes life and for us, just once. Its very precious to God, but to us?
Condolences to the family of deceased. To the injured, wish you a speedy recovery. Taris please respect others and keep the peace. Let the Law do its job.
God bless PNG.
