Abstract

The article focuses on the declaration of a state of emergency in Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby, following deadly riots that have resulted in at least 16 fatalities. The unrest began due to a payroll dispute involving unexplained wage deductions for public servants, including police, which led to widespread protests, looting, and violence. In response, Prime Minister James Marape suspended key officials and deployed military personnel to restore order. The situation has raised concerns about the country's political stability and its economic challenges, as many residents are already struggling with high unemployment and a cost of living crisis.
