It's incredible to see the power of the people and the army standing up against corruption and demanding change. Jerry Singirok's bravery in calling out the government for corruption and excessive spending is commendable. The events that unfolded during the Sandline affair were truly dramatic, with troops loyal to Singirok taking control of the military barracks and civilians demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Julius Chan. This documentary provides a firsthand account of the chaos and turmoil that changed the fate of Papua New Guinea. It raises important questions about whether Singirok and the army's actions defended or damaged democracy in the country. It's crucial to continue to hold leaders accountable and demand transparency in government to ensure that the rights and voices of the people are respected. Thank you for sharing this powerful and thought-provoking documentary.
National security is compromised and the Defence Force intervention in our case was warranted to pull in the reigns of our runaway government to save the country from compromising our sovereignty. Thank you.
Something Bougainville owes to us as citizens who stood with them during that time in history. I was a student at University and petitioned the govt to remove Sandline and request Sir J to step down as PM. I believe the students had a bigger impact towards the unrest. That's the only option we had that time because our voice was suppressed that time looking at how much the govt spend and the corruption involved to bring those mercenaries to deal with the conflict. And also I think the Australian govt just stood and watch without helping that time, even Sir J asked them for help.
Australia & her allied brothers didn't want to get involved because they knew the Bougainvillean were on the right, they knew their history that's why & of course that includes all other NGI provinces.
Paid $46m on FAILED Mercenaries but you can't FINANCE Your Military with LESS Than $10m??? The Soldiers should've reached to Gen. Babangida of Nigeria or Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso for ADVICES before they TRIED to TakeOver.
In the next three years I am planning to travel to PNG. I am an American who seeks to immigrate there. I would love to talk to you sometime for lessons you could give me on the history of the nation.
This is problem in many countries, corruption and greed, with oppression and when the people revolt, the international community blame those that revolt while they knew corruption.
The Military and the Government was used by Rio Tinto, but in the end conscience prevailed, PNGDF took over the Government and captured International Mercenaries sent into Bougainville to wipe out the indigenous people there.

The Sandline mercenaries, Thier gunships that was talked about, I think we're hinds helicopters, dumped at Tindell air base in northern territory for 20 years then put in shipping containers and burried at Darwin dump.
Having been around during the Sandrine Crisis of the mid 1990's, one still feels the pain of the political blunder of hiring foreign mercenaries at the1❤ expense of the people by a "government of the people by the people" to restore sovereignty to a nation that had just been born out of colonialism. Democracy was shaken by it's roots and the aftershock sticks with a people whose government forgot about it's Melanesian Cultural Values of Conflict Resolution through dialogue. If it hadn't been for the Defence Force who acted independently of it's government one wonders what would have become of PNG' sovereignty? Current Government moto TAKE BACK PNG should be in the forefront of our policy decisions now. The political leaders of that day" some of whom are still alive today, ought to bow in shame at the proposed mass genocide of their own people in trying to quel an uprising spawned by ignoring the plight of our own citizens inorder to accommodate the wish and will of foreign capitalists. After so much blood spill and death, the collateral damage, split families, the loss of life and missed development opportunities for the survivors of the crisis, what have we learned?

“2nd rate 3rd world army” not wrong about that, but no one outside of our own country can tame or control PNG, you’ll just wish you didn’t even bother with it in the first place. Sad to see home declining and crumbling
@@TylerMarkRichardson Rio Tinto is not a PNG company it is an Australian company, they are the ones pulling the strings, if not for the PNGDF, innocent Bougainvilleans would have been slaughtered by International Mercenaries.
This is what happens if your military are not properly taken care of, low wages, not to mentioned not properly armed, hell breaks tru... You can't see this thing in Malaysia, military are well looked for, good pay, housing, well equipted.
European "explorers" colonizers had a habit of naming countries with black/brown people in them Guinea. Equatorial Guinea - Spain, Guinea Bissau - Portugal, Republic of Guinea - France & Papua New Guinea - Britain
there is lot of mineral and gas/oil reserves over the country as a whole. Now the Bougainville Copper mine paid their fee's or royalties, to the PNG Govt. They paid and there is no dispute...But the PNG Govt never handed the money over to Bougainville as per the agreement. So the Bougainville people were getting screwed over by the PNG national Government. (Surprise, surprise). Hence, a dispute or civil war in Bougainville. Many Bougainvilleans were killed or died of wounds or lack of medical supplies, as PNG Government had blockaded the Island of Bougainville. This included many civilians, mothers having babies etc.... so that side of it was disastrous. The mine was destroyed and occupied by the Bougainville people. Soldiers and the Mobile Police units (Paramilitary very well armed Police) returned to PNG mainland after not being paid their wages while in Bougainville on active Govt service. I spoke to one group who hadn't been paid for 9 months while they were over there. They didn't want to be there anyway. They had to live off the land for that time. So they were against the Govt as well as the Bougainville people. So everyone was against the Govt.... and they were the pricks who tried to bring in the mercenaries. (Probably using mine royalties). Singarok is a hero for putting the right way of thinking forward.
608 we need to replace all this old Gear with stuff we can use all we need is Hospital and educational gear we have to get rid of all the weapons that are larger than a machete
Take back their independence. A beautiful country beforehand and a dangerous rogue country since. Let's not forget the absolute millions of dollars in infrastructure that the Australians left behind. The majority all destroyed now. Millions of dollars in aid still pour into this country, only to line the pockets of the many, many corrupted.

Probably even America can't help all countries in trouble at the same time! Why not study the meaning of 'democracy' and which countries are democratic and which are not?
This is how they spread their propaganda they shed lights in the mass on everyone else negative situations but hide their own mess like they're the savior of all. Come on now y'all get it together stop allowing USA to plant all these negative seeds on every black nation in the world, well really every nation in the world.
