Seems the landholders see the mine as their ticket to independence.
BOC not being there is actually a good thing.
No outside pressure and they've come to this conclusion.
Landholders agree
President says "ABG President Hon. Ishmael Toroama acknowledged and congratulated the five clans and their respective leadership for taking the bold stand to re-open the Panguna Mine."
“Today marks the ending and the beginning of a new chapter, a chapter to realize Bougainville’s independence,”
The Toroama-Nisira government is confident that the re-opening of the Panguna Mine will be a major booster for Bougainville’s economic future and at the same time, guarantee Bougainville’s political independence.
Seems like more than enough incentive here after many years.
See what comes Monday.
