THE Me’ekamui movement has claimed that it was training more than 1000 youths as policemen and women to help with the law and order situation on Bougainville. Francis Ona, the man who orchestrated the Bougainville crisis in 1989, told the Post-Courier in an exclusive interview that their main aim was to discipline youths, to provide safety and maintain law and order on the island. On the day the Post-Courier visited Mr Ona in his Guava village, there were 63 policemen graduating from a week-long police course, all issued with police uniforms and police boots and sent out to their respective districts to start law and order work. The Post-Courier also witnessed the start of a week-long magisterial course for women and youths conducted by Mr Ona in his village. “I am now preparing these youths for the independent state of Bougainville,” Mr Ona said. “The Me’ekamui government is not autocratic. Held here in Panguna we have regular sessions of the house of lords and representatives, including chiefs, where we discuss changes, development, planning and policy over all matters of state — local and national. Through this, for example, was the establishment of the successful drive for more recruits into our police cadetship, which today is making large impacts on the reduction of illegal home brew kits which, sad to say, is not the case in autonomous areas. “I see in the future a parliament will of course be necessary to be formed although right now it is not the case but certainly will be. Now is a time for establishing the identity of Me’ekamui, its direction and principals that a parliament is to be built upon. “Since the hostilities, blockades and exorbitant price increases in education have left many from accessing the outside world in terms of global education in commerce, trade and international standards. “These are some of the reasons the members of the government and its departments are to utilise time to learn new methods of commerce and trade before forming parliament. “Regardless, we are a sovereign people and we are going forward fast. “I ask (Autonomous Bougainville Government President Joseph) Kabui or (Sir Michael) Somare to go ahead and spend your K10 million. “Like I said, things can be done much smarter than the way they are attempting now. Me’ekamui has grown up and is alive and awake.” http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20050704/news02.htm

ONA: NO, NO
‘Close B’ville Govt and let me run it’
THE re-opening of the Panguna copper mine in Bougainville is a no, no! Self-styled leader of the unrecognised Me’ekamui government and recluse Francis Ona in an exclusive interview with our Gorethy Kenneth in his Guava village outside the mine site on Tuesday said suggestions to re-open the mine to finance the Bougainville Autonomous Government would be resisted.
‘Let me run B’ville government’
By Gorethy Kenneth
THE re-opening of the Panguna Mine will be a no, no and the decision will have to come from the people and the landowners, reclusive Me’ekamui leader Francis Ona said on Tuesday. And whoever is talking about re-opening of the Panguna mine that caused the loss of 20,000 lives “must be out of his/her mind” Mr Ona said. Further, Mr Ona said if there was no money to run the Autonomous Bougainville Government, he wants it closed down and let him run Bougainville. In an exclusive interview with the Post-Courier in his Guava village on Wednesday this week, Mr Ona said if the mine had to be re-opened by the people it would be facilitated by the Me’ekamui government. Mr Ona was responding to questions as to whether he was supportive of negotiations to re-open the Panguna Mine. “My people and I won’t allow the mine to be re-opened. Twenty thousand lives were lost and this is how we can compensate their lives? Kabui (Autonomous Bougainville Government President Joseph Kabui) or anyone talking about re-opening the mine must be out of his/her mind . . . (Mr) Kabui and his government must find other means of earning money and not try to use this mine to get loans from the World Bank. If you don’t have the money, then close the government and let me run it. Me’ekamui has all the funding available and ready,” Mr Ona said. “At this point, Panguna is not going to be opened for the remaining short term as it is associated with too much pain and suffering. “The leaders of PNG and the autonomy truly believe opening such a mine as this one will be okay when so many alive today are still suffering because of the deaths of their parents, brothers and sisters, its way too soon. “No, I will not support that, it’s entirely up to the people and if they decide to agree on the re-opening then Me’ekamui will have to facilitate it. “However, as we go along in our established sovereignty and independence, it is maybe the case later. Who knows, that will be a decision of the people not mine, the House of Lords, the House of Representatives, landowners and others will then have to decide but now its not possible. “I know since the closure of Panguna, it led to the whole international mining community changing its operations and approach to landowners, especially in terms of what today is considered as environmentally friendly mining that we have to be aware of but in terms of Panguna, tell Mr Somare (Sir Michael) and other leaders I will bring the orphans and the widows to him if he wants to come look in their eyes and say ‘hey profits to PNG matters not what you lost’. “I am not going to do that, leadership is about respecting the people you represent and respecting yourself.”

Zusammngefasst kann man es wohl so ausdrücken: Ona wants more money...
Kritiker könnten mir kognitive Dissonanz attestieren, ich nenne es aber " Zwischen den Zeilen lesen" :

Ich sage mal so, zuerst plustert er sich auf und macht auf wichtig. Das sind klare Vorverhandlungsstrategien, um schon mal das Revier abzustecken, denn im gleichen Satz stellt er klar, dass auch er die Wiedereröffnung für möglich hält und das Volk entscheiden sollte...
Wenn ich mal eine Prognose wagen darf: In Geheimverhandlungen mit BOC, ABG, PNG und MDF wird man sich auf ein nettes Verhandlungsergebnis einigen, von dem alle profitieren werden (das schöne ist ja, dass es unendlich viele Möglichkeiten eines Kompromisses gibt, der keinen das Gesicht verlieren lässt, da ja Kohle bzw. Kupfer/Gold satt vorhanden ist). Dieses Ergebnis wird dann präsentiert und dem Volk zur Abstimmung vorgelegt. Nun ja, ich hatte vor ca. 6 Wochen schon eine kleine Abhandlung meiner Erwartungen an eine melanesische Gesellschaft geschrieben (die ich in keinster Weise negativ meine, jede Kultur hat ihre Hintergründe etc. warum sie so ist etc.!!). Soll heissen, es wird ein Ergebnis präsentiert werden, zu dem keiner nein sagen kann, wie gesagt es gibt genug Kupfer, BOC wäre gut beraten, bei den ersten paar Milliönchen nicht zu knauserig zu sein...

Scribe tells of daring trip to Guava
IT still feels like a fairy tale to me. I still have to get it into my brains that I actually visited Guava, especially the place of reclusive Me’ekamui leader Francis Ona. A day before I took to the mountains of Guava, I headed home to my village to wave goodbye to my mother and see my little sisters for comfort. On Wednesday morning, my friends Steve and Tsimes made sure I was safe in a PMV vehicle to Arawa and after 1pm, I was on my way. I told them if I don’t return by Thursday to send a search party on Friday. I slept my way to Arawa to brush aside the thought of how I would approach Mr Ona in his territory. Bouncy George Corbett, Post-Courier’s former photographer who arrived from wherever he came from, kept me company all along. He kept reminding me to eat the lamingtons he bought for me. Poor guy saw I was confused and not in my usual cheery mood. Yes, I was happy to see Mr Corbett after five years of working together in Port Moresby but I was more interested and worked up with my trip to Panguna. We arrived in Arawa a little after 5pm and 30 minutes after my arrival. I took to the streets to start negotiating for my trip. I went and saw a couple from Siredonsi and got advice about the trip. It was Section 6, the Arawa office of the Me’ekamui that I was supposed to visit. Geraldine, a friend was with me all night to listen to my plans. By five in the morning on Wednesday, we were up and by six o’clock we were already at the Me’ekamui office. Geraldine waited with me for more than 45 minutes while the executive met with other people. Eventually, it was my turn to go into the office. Chris Uma, the man who looks after the Me’ekamui office, and the one that I fear most, sat waiting for me. As soon as I entered and took a seat, I shyly said I’m Gorethy from . . . he cut me off and tossed me the note with rules that I had to follow and said all I had to do now was find a car. The rules spelt out what I was and not supposed to do. One comforting thing I saw on the note was “be very friendly to her and don’t make her scared. Show her all the spots up”. I was introduced to office secretary Kevin Buruau who was sent from Guava to accompany me. The next task was looking for a hire car. I suggested cars that I knew, even brought four of them in, one by one, only to be told: “Sorry, they are not allowed up there.” I was embarrassed — it felt like I was modelling cars. Eventually, I was directed to the only vehicle that had a green light for the area — owned by Luami and well known to Mr Ona and the Me’ekamui government. At exactly 1pm, my trip to Guava began. Me’ekamui security Kevin, the driver Luami and I took off. We had no problems with the Morgan Junction roadblock. This time, the sight of guns at the roadblock did not matter to me, I was rehearsing my introductory speech to Mr Ona all through the trip. I almost forgot the driver existed and almost missed the mine picture. At 2.30pm, we arrived at the second checkpoint. The two hour drive up was very emotional as we stopped at the mine pit to take pictures. All the broken building, burnt vehicles, the thought of the beautiful serenity of Panguna before the crisis came back. I thought of several families and imagined their lives now — but I was prepared to see Mr Ona. My heart started pumping as we neared his territory. We were cleared by the guard who was aware of my visit and we drove down the Guava valley. We made another stop just before entering the second street (there are three streets in little Guava town) and another clearance was made. We parked in front of the Me’ekamui central bank building. As I was picking my bag, I heard a voice, “welcome home” — that was Mr Ona. My heart missed a beat and I was so scared I almost spoke my language to Mr Ona. “Pleased to meet you,” Mr Ona put out his hand to greet me. “Pleased to meet you too” I quickly put out mine to shake hands. “Welcome and thank you for coming,” he said. “And thank you very, very much for allowing me after five years of trying to interview you,” I told him. He was very cheerful, a big smile on his face as he led me to his office. Oh my gosh . . . is what I said as soon as we climbed up the stairs to his office, which is in the central bank building. I shook my head in awe as we waited for the combination numbers to be keyed to the doors — Mr Ona has an electronically run office — you can even use remote controls. A very well established office, with a few (maybe four) satellite phones, a mobile phone, computers and a brick wall room. What I saw with my eyes in a nutshell was King Solomon’s mine, a country on its own, little America or what. Our interview went for an hour before the tour around Guava village. It took me an hour to talk to Mr Ona like I’d known him for ages. The place was an amazing site and sight. A movie theatre with an amazing screen, 24-hour electricity from hydro, battery and generator, shops, a vanilla farm, poultry, guards and youths smiling and buildings made of brick with doors manufactured from Australia. His wife Elizabeth cooked us dinner and I learned Mr Ona had not tasted or eaten rice since the Bougainville crisis. My eyes are still wide open and I’m still thrilled by what I saw, some things are a well kept secret, not so much what I heard, a lifetime experience. I met the man I always dreamt of meeting, thank you Post-Courier and thank you Mr Ona for the interview, for the food, for the rooster I took home and for allowing us into your territory.

Bougainville, an international peace legacy for the UN http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20050701/focus.htm By Romilus Masiu
BOUGAINVILLEANS have a big task ahead of them as the United Nations Observer Mission (UNOMB) on Bougainville completes their official duty. UNOMB has achieved a lot during its stint on Bougainville and should be commended for it. hey have been a key player in the Bougainville peace process. The Bougainville administration, the newly established Bougainville Autonomous Government and the people of Bougainville owe it to UNOMB. They must be commended for the successful outcome of the Autonomous Bougainville Government and the establishment of the first house of representatives last month. UNOMB has been an integral part of the weapons disposal program which saw weapons returned, registered and disposed while others were contained during the peace process. However, it is common knowledge that not all weapons were taken care of with many still around. What is going to happen and who is going to be held responsible for these missing weapons? Surely, the onus is on the people of Bougainville to really show the world, especially the United Nations, that they will continue on where the UNOMB left. People of Bougainville must prove they can progress without the presence of the UN and take the ABG forward through the “unchartered waters”. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the Security Council paid tribute to the leaders and the people of Papua New Guinea for fully implementing the peace agreement that ended the long secessionist fighting, which culminated with the recent establishment of the Bougainville Autonomous Government. The agreement was reached after a decade of war between the Bougainville Revolutionary Army and the Papua New Guinea Defence Force which ended in 1998. Mr Annan and the Security Council through a statement read out in a meeting by its President last month, Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sabliere, of France, welcomed the first general elections of the president and of the members of first house of representatives held from May 20 to June 9, as well as the inauguration of the “Autonomous Bougainville in its full capacity”. “The Secretary –General extends his warm congratulations to President Joseph Kabui and Members of the House of Representatives of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville,” Mr La Sabliere said. “He wishes them success in the fulfilling the high hopes and aspirations of Bougainville. Mr Annan and the Council both expressed pleasure that the UN made an important contribution to the peace process through the United Nations Political Office in Bougainville (UNPOB) and its successor — the United Nations Observer Mission (UNOMB), as well as the UN Country Team.” The Secretary General called on the donor community to provide further assistance to the Autonomous Government in meeting its most pressing challenge — reconstruction. Mr Kabui and Bougainville Administrator Peter Tsiamalili in an emotional get together, farewelled UNOMB top legal adviser William Ozkaptan last week. Mr Kabui on behalf of the people of Bougainville said it was a sad day for the UNOMB to be leaving after all these efforts put in to negotiate for the successful outcome of the ABG elections and the weapons disposal. Though the people of Bougainville owns the peace process, UNOMB have greatly helped with the facilitation of the peace process for Bougainvilleans. Mr Kabui was very happy with the UN. “They have been pushing us constantly, reminding politicians not to sleep on your asses and to work hard to address issues of weapons disposal,” Mr Kabui said. He wished Mr Ozkaptan all the luck and blessing, adding Bougainville will treasure the UN and welcome it with open arms. Mr Tsiamalili also thanked UNOMB for the consistent support by providing logistic such as helicopters and vehicles. He said UNOMB had involved in a historic chapter and achieved what was to be achieve — peace and unity. Mr Tsiamalili praised the UN for its successful mission in Bougainville and said it will come down as one of the most successful stories for the UN since World War II. There was no death or whatsoever during their stay on Bougainville that should be written in the history books. “Your successful mission in Bougainville should be the role model for other countries and please be proud to fly your flag,” he said. Mr Ozkaptan said the UNOMB mission has come to an end with the successful containment and destruction of weapons through the weapons disposal program. “Our mission to help collect guns and contain them has been proven to be a success and now its up to each and every one of the people of Bougainville to maintain the good relationship,” Mr Ozkaptan said. Another task they had accomplished was to see that the ex-combatants had joined the peace process. Mr Ozkaptan said this was also a success because after the 10 year crisis, it was very hard for the ex-combatants to “see eye to eye” with their opponents.

Und hier nochmal die Reportage von nekro mit Foto:
Sensationsmeldung aus Bougainville - Aktienkurs vor Explosion London / New York / Panguna / Port Stanley 21. Juni 2005
Im Rahmen eines diplomatischen Kurzbesuchs in Francis Onas Königreich Mekamui konnte der bekannte Börsenbriefautor Swen Lorenz in lebensgefährlichen Recherchen nunmehr den wahren Grund für den Bougainville-Konflikt und das anhaltende Gezerre um Bougainville Copper (BOC.ASX) herausfinden.
Wegen des Ölpreises von nunmehr knapp 60 US$ pro Barrel hat Ona gemeinsam mit seinen verbliebenen 5 Restrebellen damit begonnen, in der Gegend rund um die Panguna-Mine nach Öl zu bohren. Unterlagen aus der Zeit vor den Dschungel-Kriegen des 12. Jahrhunderts belegen eindeutig, dass auf Bougainville die Aussicht besteht, Ölreserven zu finden, die den Bestand von Saudi Arabien und Russland um ein Mehrfaches übertreffen werden.
Der photodokumentarische Beweis von Lorenz' Reise ist am Ende dieser Meldung angehängt.
Das weltexklusive Foto aus der unmittelbaren Gegend der Panguna Mine gibt Einblicke in das Rebellenleben und die Organisationsstruktur von Onas Hofstaat. Ona ist leicht am weißen Helm erkennbar. Weiße Kopfbedeckungen sind auf Papua Neuguinea seit Jahrtausenden das Symbol herrschaftlichen Anspruchs. Wie leicht erkennbar, wurde Ona auf der von japanischen Soldaten im Zweiten Weltkrieg hinterlassenen Ölbohrplattform " Piper Panguna" zum Vorarbeiter ernannt - eventuell ernannte er sich jedoch auch selbst, die Angaben hierzu sind wie gewohnt widersprüchlich. In der Tradition der 68'er Generation muss jeder mit Hand anlegen, allerdings mangelt es in solchen Kommunen (wie gewohnt) sichtbar an der Arbeitsdisziplin Einzelner.
Gerüchten zufolge soll der US-Konzern Halliburton nunmehr eine Pipeline direkt von den Falklandinseln durch den Pazifik planen, um die Ölvorkommen beider Ministaaten miteinander zu vereinen. Die beiden einzigen Ölbohrkonzerne der jeweiligen Inselreiche (Bougainville Oil & Gas Ltd, vormals Bougainville Copper und heute unter dem Kürzel BOGL.ASX gehandelt sowie Falkland Islands Standard Oil, vormals Falkland Islands Holdings und an der New York Stock Exchange unter dem Kürzel OIL.NYSE notiert) planen, gemeinsam den Weltölpreis unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen.
Beide Aktien zogen sofort deutlich an. Händler verweisen darauf, dass für diese Aktien immer auch ein " Unterhaltungsaufschlag" gezahlt wird, quasi eine Prämie für den Unterhaltungs" wert" dieser besonderen Papiere. Anleger sind sich einig, dass diese Aktien selbst bei einem Fehlschlagen der Spekulationen erheblichen Spaß ins Depot gebracht haben.
Eine Verlängerung der Pipeline wird den Angaben zufolge dann direkt ins Fürstentum Monaco gelegt, um dort den ungeheuren Energiebedarf des nunmehr fest geplanten weltgrößten Ozean-Spielkasinos zu decken. Die Regierung der Falklandinseln sowie die neu installierte Regierung von Bougainville soll unterdessen überlegen, ihren gesamten Staatshaushalt vorsorglich in Aktien von SBM zu investieren, um auf allen Ebenen der Wertschöpfungskette von dieser Entwicklung zu profitieren.
Weitere wichtige Entwicklungen sind während des Sommerloch zu erwarten...

Dann interessiert es nicht mehr, was W-O verlinkt und was nicht (hat es mich noch nie - da ich es immer so mache, wie beschrieben). Du musst dich um nichts kümmern, nur wall (für wallstreet-online) eingeben und schon ist alles da. Geht sogar noch fixer, mit Strg+L wird sofort die Adresszeile markiert und du musst diese zur eingabe nicht mal anklicken. So. jetzt höre ich mal auf, sonst ufert das noch aus.

Kupfer: Die Sitzung eröffnete das rote Metall bei 1,63$ und brach zunächst bis auf unter 1,61$ ein. Nach einer kurzen Erholung gab der Kurs richtig nach und erreichte zeitweilig ein Niveau von 1,5650$. Die Kupferfutures in Shanghai verloren heute 3 Prozent nachdem vor allem Hedge Funds ihre Positionen abgestoßen hatten. Charttechnisch hat sich die Situation bei Kupfer in den letzten Tagen enorm verbessert. Der Widerstand bei 1,49$ und die psychologische Marke von 1,50$ wurden deutlich überschritten. Der langfristige Aufwärtstrend seit Herbst 2003 verläuft aktuell bei 1,61$.

Hallo,
Ich hatte BCL fast 15 Jahre im Depot. Gekauft habe ich damals 50.000 Stück für 0,26 DM also 0,13 Euro. Mir war klar, dass sich die Sache lange hinziehen wird und habe deshalb immer getraded, wenn es Nachrichten gab, die den Kurs hochgetrieben haben - und das war ja häuffig der Fall! Die Charts sehen immer gleich aus. Ein steiler Peak und dann baldiges Abfallen.
Auch den Peak jetzt im Aprill habe ich genuzt und auf der abfallenden Schulter bei 68 Cent verkaufen können.
Grundsätzlich geändert hat sich meiner Meinung nach nur die weltweite Rohstoffsituation, deshalb kann man das mittlere Niveau von BCL auf ca. 25 Cent ansetzen. D.H. bei diesem Level werden ich wieder reingehen.
Das hin und her in Bougainville wird sicher noch mindestens 2 jahre weitergehen. Ich halte es für sehr unwarscheinlich, dass die Leute dort, nach tausenden von Toten, jetzt wo sie gewonnen haben genauso weitermachen wie am Anfang des Konflikts.
Sicher reitzen die Möglichkeiten, Geld zu verdienen, aber erst muß Investiert werden und man wird höllisch darauf achten, dass das Geschäft in den eigenen Händen bleibt. Das bedeutet, wie schon gesagt, noch einige Zeit hin und her - gute Nachrichten, Vezögerungen, vieleicht wieder ein kleiner Aufstand usw.
Einen gute Einblick gibt: http://www.c-r.org/accord/boug/accord12/theorigin.shtml
Viele Grüße KuperAndi

PNG Gold Mine Funding Bougainville Secessionist: Francis Ona
http://au.news.yahoo.com/050704/3/uyl6.html
PORT MORESBY, July 4 Asia Pulse - Gold gathered near the mine that sparked a decade of bloody conflict on Bougainville has funded the island's secessionist movement, its reclusive leader Francis Ona says.
Landowner discontent over environmental damage and benefits from the giant Panguna copper mine sparked the conflict that started in the Papua New Guinea province in 1989 and dragged on through the 1990s, claiming more than 10,000 lives. ADVERTISEMENT
The mine, owned by Bougainville Copper Ltd (BCL), provided much of the PNG government's income but was shut down by the conflict.
Ona and his followers in the secessionist Meekamui Movement still occupy the mine site within the so-called no-go zone in central Bougainville.
The self-proclaimed king of the island has refused to join the peace process or recognise Bougainville's newly-elected autonomous government under President Joseph Kabui.
The Meekamui Movement had been buying gold since the crisis years from villagers who panned the rivers, Ona told a reporter from PNG's Post-Courier newspaper.
The gold was sold overseas to help fund the movement and its alternative administration for the " sovereign state" of Bougainville, he said.
" We have been selling and buying gold to find money to strengthen our work and our economy so our people can reap the benefits and be happy."
Ona said his Meekamui government had trained 1,000 young police officers, held regular sessions of its House of Lords and was negotiating trade deals with foreign companies.
He said he would support Kabui and the autonomous government only if they recognised Bougainville as a sovereign nation already independent from PNG.
Under the 2001 Bougainville Peace Agreement, Bougainvilleans have been promised a referendum in 10 to 15 years time on independence from PNG.
BCL chairman Peter Taylor said today it was no surprise to hear of gold being extracted from the mine's tailings along the Jaba River.
" I do understand they are reprocessing the tailings down the river and getting gold from that source.
" Strictly speaking the government shouldn't be allowing somebody that doesn't hold a lease to be mining on the property.
" But the practical considerations are there's nothing they can do about it," Taylor said.
The Kabui government is seeking development funds and has asked the PNG government to lift a moratorium on exploration and mining.
But Ona has said he and his followers would not allow the mine to reopen in the short term as it was associated with too much pain and suffering.
Taylor said the situation had to change at Panguna before any return to mining there was considered but mineral exploration elsewhere was a strong option.
" If the new government is interested in mineral exploration and development, BCL certainly won't be standing in the way."

Island plan to jump ahead in time From correspondents in Port Moresby July 04, 2005 BOUGAINVILLE'S new autonomous government wants to move ahead of the rest of Papua New Guinea by jumping the island into a new time zone.
Bougainville President Joseph Kabui has confirmed a bill to put the island's time an hour ahead of the rest of PNG would go before the new government next month.
The proposed new time zone would bring the island into line with its close neighbour, the Solomon Islands, which is in the same island chain in the western Pacific.
Under the Bougainville Constitution, the time zone comes under the control of the new autonomous government sworn in on June 15.
" When people see that our time has changed then they would realise that Bougainville was no longer a provincial government and they would also feel the change in times," Kabui told local media.
The autonomous government was a key plank in the 2001 Bougainville Peace Agreement that followed a decade-long secessionist conflict which claimed more than 10,000 lives.
Under the peace agreement, the new government has been granted a high level of autonomy outside defence and foreign affairs and Bougainvilleans have been promised a referendum in 10 to 15 years time on independence from PNG.
The island already has its own distinctive Bougainville Police Force and the new government also plans to introduce a different vehicle registration plate system to PNG.
