Bougainville's destructive goldmine could also be its $90 billion key to independence

Bougainville deserves independence. Over 20,000 lives were lost in a brutal conflict. Lives sacrificed for the right to be free. In 2019, nearly 98% of Bougainvilleans voted yes to independence. That wasn’t a request, it was a clear and powerful demand. The Papua New Guinea Government must stop delaying. The will of the people has been spoken. No more waiting, no more politics, honour the sacrifice, respect the vote, and grant Bougainville what it has already earned: Full Independence. #Bougainv
