When two tribes go to war

Warring tribesmen in Komo, Southern Highlands, last weekend came together for a peace ceremony. Many attended brandishing all types of guns, not to make war but peace as they stockpiled them at the ceremonial ground. Witnessing all these taking place was Komo LLG president Thomas Potape, pictured removing a single-shot firearm from a warrior during the peace ceremony. More than 40 pigs were slaughtered and K13, 000 given to both sides to end fighting in the area.-Picture courtesy of The National.
