Papua New Guinea women kill males babies to end tribal war


Women in Papua New Guinea's Highlands say they are killing their male babies to halt an ongoing tribal war

WOMEN in Papua New Guinea's Highland region are killing their male babies to end a tribal war that has gone on for more than 20 years.

Two women from the Eastern Highlands spoke of the slaughter to PNG's National newspaper during a three-day peace and reconciliation course in the region's capital of Goroka.

Rona Luke and Kipiyona Belas, from two warring tribes, said male infanticide reduced the cyclical payback violence infamous in Highlands tribal fights.

If women stopped producing males, their tribe's stock would go down and this would force the men to end their fight, the women said.

"All the womenfolk agreed to have all babies born killed because they have had enough of men engaging in tribal conflicts and bringing misery to them," Ms Luke said.

The women could not give a figure on how many male babies had been killed.

Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to
protect against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any recommendations?

I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Hi there! I know this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
Does running a well-established website such as yours take a lot
of work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do
write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
