I was in PNG for a few weeks twenty years ago. Even then foreign corporations were drooling and threatening the Nation for it’s resources. At the time it was the most under developed Nation in the World. Port Moresby was surrounded by squatter sites of people from the Highlands looking for work because foreign corporations (Japan was the big threat at the time, and of course Chevron) encroached on ancestral land. Twenty years later it is actually not as severe as I thought it would become at the time, but it is getting there. PNG has no protection from larger Nations and will continue to succumb to corruption. Surprised it has taken the World so long to take notice, honestly. 🙏 for PNG 🇵🇬

[@KaesOner]

Funny you didn't mention how the UK literally are the reason for the state of PNG today. The British came and colonized PNG like they did with many others, used its resources and forced military bases and their way of life in on tribal communities for a couple generations, then packed up and watched the country slowly rot.

The western portion of the island, is the remnant of the former Dutch East Indies colony. After the end of WWII, the colony of Dutch East Indies became Indonesia. Historically, Indonesia didn’t allow Occupied New Guinea (western), to rejoin the eastern portion of the island known then as New Guinea (German to British control) 🇬🇳 The new government of Indonesia…chose to continue the colonial control and to occupy, the western portion of the former Dutch colony. Both the Dutch and later the Indonesians, had the military might to be able to occupy resource rich western New Guinea. Today, the comparatively primitive rebel forces of Papua New Guinea, continue to fight for the re-unification of their ancestral homeland.

The claim that the Raskols, a notorious gang from Papua New Guinea, are the "most violent in the world" is likely an exaggeration or sensationalized for attention, which is common in media titles, especially on KZbin. While the Raskols are indeed infamous for their violent activities, particularly in urban areas like Port Moresby, it’s important to approach such claims critically and consider the broader context.
