Police have negotiated for a peace agreement between two warring tribes in Jiwaka province. The fight which began over a stolen pig has resulted in five deaths. Jiwaka Provincial Police Commander Chief Inspector Albert Korin said the fight started on January 04th between the Wika and Waka tribes in Nondugl. The Waka tribe accused the Wika tribe of stealing a pig and a fight broke out in which a man from the Waka tribe was killed. Mr. Korin said the Wika tribe refused to surrender the murder suspect so the tribesman of the deceased (Waka tribe) organized and attacked and killed four men from the Wika tribe. He said police intervened and arranged a peace mediation team supported by the two Mobile Squad (MS) sections from the Western Highlands Province and local police.
The team negotiated a peace agreement whilst police units maintained law and order in the province. Mr. Korin said an understanding was reached between the two warring tribes who've agreed to sign a peace agreement. However, whilst the Waka tribe agreed to peace, the Wika tribe leadership wanted more time to consult its tribesmen. Mr. Korin is confident a date will be set this week for the peace agreement to be signed between both tribes.
