As widely reported in local media, large-scale tribal conflicts have erupted in the Porgera District of Enga Province. In response, the PNG government has declared a two-month state of emergency covering the Porgera-Paiela, Kompiam-Ambum, and Wapenamanda districts. Along with this declaration, a nighttime curfew from 6 PM to 8 AM has been enforced. Emergency measures have also been introduced, including road blockades, stricter control of illegal firearms, improvements to correctional facilities, and a ban on alcohol.
For those planning to travel to the affected areas, we strongly advise postponing your trip until the situation stabilizes. If you are currently in these regions, please stay informed of the latest security updates from authorities and the media, avoid crowded places, and prioritize your safety at all times.
