In reply to: Fr. Robert Plews Laka, SVD 's message, "Can Tribal Fright be Eradicated once and for all?" on Tue, Oct 17 2006, 01:56:55am

The key things to stop tribal fights are:

1. Generate some love amoung our countrymen through Christianity. This will eliminate hate.

2. Land titles registration - this will resolve land disputes.

3. Ban compensation or "moka" and put every trouble maker before the courts.

4. Political rivalry and ego building should stop.

5. Public should bring forward criminals rather then hiding them.

6. Mass education - although jobs are limited, people with knowledge will survive with civil creativity. eg. in India - Phd holders can sweep streets.

7. Respect for humanity!!

Good points spy.

1. Principle of LOVE and giving are part of Engan culture, love is not only taught by Chrisitanity principles but by other world religions as well.

2. Abosolutely right on land registration, clearly demarking tribal/cland land borders may be a solution. Other people will have a different view on this one.

3. Compensation/moka is a way for conflict resolution. Outlawing the practise and forcing people to solve conflicts through the courts may cause more problems/conflicts. Rather than banning, laws should be set to guide the practise or just recognise it as way for conflict resolution or come up with ways to negotiate the demands put forward by a group/clan demanding compensation.

4. Right here again - when our politicians show friendship and cooperation than the ordinary people may do the same.

5. Public bringing in criminals who are relatives - the first obligations for most people is to the family/tribe/clan while the state/law/government/ takes second or even third place. Bringing in wantoks or reporting wantoks who are criminals will create conflict between relating families. Most pngeans do not want that. Some even benefit from these criminal activities. I am not saying it won`t work, just saying if we ask, we should not expect full cooperation but we must keep educating our own people of civil duties.

6. Mass education - I would prefer mass TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Equip young people with trade skills rather than loads of theroritcal knowledge that industries have no use for.

7. We should have one religion - HUMANITY and be WORLD CITIZENS! right on here.

peace
