THE tribal fights in Kandep District have been going on for too long
and the authorities have done nothing but watch innocent lives being lost.
Enga Governor Grand Chief Peter Ipatas raised this concern in a media conference yesterday where he announced that his provincial government was now taking actions to stop the tribal fighting.
Governor Ipatas said there was now a provincial law and order committee in place with him as the chairman to bring peace and normalcy back into the district.
“We are now taking steps to restore peace and normalcy back into the district, innocent lives have been lost and the majority of people are suffering because of the actions of a minority who are power hungry,” he said.
The actions that the committee has taken include the appointment of an acting district administrator Ben Pesawe and the directing of the Provincial Police Commander Philip Welia to visit Kandep
District and talk to the tribes involved.
“I want to assure the people of Kandep and Enga Province that the situation will be returned to normalcy and we are now moving in to address it, we have left it for so long,” he said.
However, he added that the provincial government needed the support of Kandep MP Don Polye.
He said that he had spoken to the member but had yet to get any feedback.
He praised the new provincial police commander for his efforts in addressing the tribal fight in Kandep.
Governor Ipatas said that the people were using high powered guns and money.
“If you carefully look at the situation, there are some people with money involved in these fights; they are the ones funding the high powered guns to be used in this fight,’’ he said.
“From reports that we have had, over 60 people have been killed in the fights already and I cannot go on letting this happen.’’
He stated that the fights had caused many people to miss out on basic services.
“The district administrator has abandoned his duties and the people have suffered for too long,” said Governor Ipatas.
Meanwhile, in some of the media reports, it has been said that women and children were not part of the tribal fights traditionally, but they were now among the innocent people being killed.

Top cop vows to end Kandep tribal fights
Source: The National, Wednesday 06th March, 2013
By PHILIP KEPSON
NEW Enga police commander acting Supt
Philip Welia has made a firm undertaking to put an end to the continuing tribal
fighting in the Kandep district.
He told a police management meeting last Friday that urgent action was needed to bring peace and harmony to Kandep and other trouble-torn areas of the province.
Welia was instrumental in resolving a number of tribal and ethnic conflicts in Lae city and Wau-Bulolo recently in his capacity as a senior police officer in the two electorates.
He was recently appointed to the police command in Enga to replace Chief Supt Martin Lakari who had been transferred to Western Highlands.
Welia said it would require a wide consultation among parties involved in the conflict to ensure normalcy
in the district.
“My priority is to return peace to Kandep. To achieve this, it will require serious consultation among relevant parties including the provincial administration which will be represented by its law and order section, two local level governments in the district (Kandep and Wage LLGs), Kandep district administration, district education and health divisions, churches, women, the political leaders (of the district), educated elites from the district and the leaders of the warring tribes,”
he said.
Welia said a peace negotiating team comprising the various factions had been formed and he was ready to divide them into two groups and send them to the tribal zones to start negotiating for peace.
“However, before sending the two groups, I will send a police scout to the two main tribes to inform them about the work of the peace negotiating team,” he said.
The widespread conflict started when two tribes known as Kuporop and Kambirip of two political rivals, prominent lawyer Alfred Manase and Kandep MP Don Polye, started accusing each other of foulplay during a by-election in 2010.
The by-election was conducted after a successful petition by Manase against Polye in the Court of Disputed Return in Mt Hagen.
When Polye was re-elected in light of fierce fighting and killing of at least five people, the tension between the two tribes continued into the 2012 general election.
Kandep district administrator Ben Besawe said more than 80% of the people had fled to nearby Southern Highlands and other parts of Enga

Beaware of Advance Fee Scams - 419 SCAMS
   |
|
Have you ever received an email from a stranger in Nigeria promising you millions of dollars? - You should just delete it, because it is a pack of lies.
However, some people answers them, and they soon find out that they have to pay some fee in order to get the millions. Then comes the second fee, and the third fee, etc etc. No one has ever received the millions, but many have lost a lot of money, and some have even got killed.
This so called "Advance Fee Fraud" has become an industry in Nigeria, and the surrounding countries. Another common name is "419 fraud" after Section 419 of the Nigerian Penal code, the section that specifically prohibits this type of crime.
The fraud is difficult to stop, but we can have some fun, and have the criminals use their time in vain. That is called scambaiting.
If you are new to this sport, I will recommend you to look at the links-page.
Have fun,

| Warning |  |
| The scammers that send these fraud letters are criminals. They want your
money, and they use force to get it, if that is necessary. You should never
travel to meet a scammer! When they get annoyed, they will send you threatening letters. The threats are probably empty, but it shows what kind of people these criminals are. |
| Watch Out! |  |
| Another growing problem in the world of scams is forex fraud. With the
increasing popularity of retail forex trading, fraudsters have found a new venue to attract unsuspecting
victims. One of the most recent scams is the marketing of fail-safe automated
forex trading software. These “machines” claim to make you quick, easy money,
when instead they usually leave you with regrets. Be on the look out for emails
of people boosting these bots, it's a sure fire way of losing your
investment! Services like fraud protection can help with other scams like identity theft. |

I have set up the this website because I am worried for all those who are
tempted by the millions of dollars they are offered by the scammers. I hope that
my stories will make them realize that it is all lies. Many of the stories
contain names of real persons, banks and historic events, and it shows that the
scammers will use every trick in the book to get you to pay. This site is funded by me, and it takes a big effort to keep it up-to-date. You can help me in keeping it alive by making a small donation.
Thanks for your support,  Miss Young |
