  2. the last picture seems to be not well thought out. Guns need to be in freedom fighters hands in bougainville for as long as it takes to gain independence. There is no reason to weaken bougainville by sending guns away when the country needs them to achieve independence. You are making guns out to be evil when infact they have brought you your freedom. Guns do not kill people and are not evil, it is up to the person pulling the trigger to decide what they represent. In bougainvilles case they represent your voice, your freedom, your past heroes who have died to achieve them and give you a level playing field to debate your freedoms..keep them untill independence, after independence transfer them to your own military force, or deactivate them and put them into museums on bougainville. Dont fall for the same people (aus/png) that once were killing you who have now returned in new clothing as peacekeepers trying to disarm you, it is all a ploy, and at the end of the same the same ones you were fighting will have won and independence will be lost...will you start all over with bow and arrows again?..study history and you will find that before someone (dictators/hitler/stalin etc) tries to take over a nation or kill a mass of people the first step is to disarm its civilian population.

  3. It would be in the very interest of Bougainville to first set up a national arms and munitions manufacturing plant. To arms all its citizens and require compulsory military training, remember guns are only dangerous when only the criminals have them..when everyone is armed then the playing field is level and there would not be any criminal willing to cause a gun crime knowing everyone else is equally armed, thus a mutual respect for each other. The bigger picture is that no other country or force will ever want to invade and conquer bougainville ever again, because and armed civillian population is an army itself...remember Hitler never invaded switzerland in ww2 because he was genuinely afraid of the civilian militia in switzerland where every civilian was trained and armed by the government as compulsory.

  4. Operation render safe currently going on in bougainville is being done under the defence logo of "Defending Australia and its national Interests" ...just reading that you will understand that it is not in bougainvilles interest to have australia located all its remaining supplies of ww2 munitions guns and ammo caches on the island, those munitions were the backbone of the people during the crisis, those ww2 bombs are a capsule full of gunpowder in storage waiting to be used when needed as it was used in the conflict. They havent caused too much problems to locals since ww2, infact they have done more good towards bougainvilles fight for independence than anything bad. They have disarmed the population, now they are removing all remaining ammunition supplies and any other militaria that can be improvised and used in the event that bougainville is not given independence and a war begins again. Remember Hitler once said "To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens"...so knowing this then bougainville should see that if you loose all your capacity to defend yourselves next time it will be a slaughter!..When bougainville becomes a nation, it will have its own military therefore all weapons can be handed over to its own military and not as seen today being handed back to the enemy!...when bougainville is independent it will have its own uxo/ww2 bomb disposal teams. All these things being fast tracked now by the same people who one flew gunships against bougainvillians leaves you thinking theres something bigger to this picture, a scheme that the ones on top only know of, something that even the genuine friendly aussie soldiers dont know.
