Women’s Participation in Peace Negotiations and the Durability of Peace There is an emerging consensus that women’s participation in peace negotiations contributes to the quality and durability of peace after civil war. However, to date, this proposition has remained e...

5/5 If the goal is lasting peace—whether in the Middle East, the Pacific, or anywhere else—women can’t be an afterthought.

Peace (and democracy) needs women from the very beginning.

The results of an independence referendum in #Bougainville, an autonomous part of #PapuaNewGuinea, were announced on #ThisDayInHistory in 2019. It was a lop-sided victory for #Bougainvillean nationalists, with 98% choosing secession. A new country of nearly 400k people is coming.

He crowned himself King of the jungle. 👑🌴 We expose the #Bougainville cult: how #NoahMusingku built a Ponzi scheme protected by armed guards. From the "Universal Payout" to the American followers in prison, is belief the ultimate scam? #TechTakedown.

"...Hawke-Keating government funded, armed, and co-led one of the most violent counter-insurgency campaigns in the Pacific, that took up to 20,000 lives on #Bougainville.

#Australia discretely exited the conflict... and then later fashioned itself as a peacemaker..."

A Tale of Two Melanesian Struggles for Independence The arrival of UN Secretary-General António Guterres in Port Moresby on 2 September 2025 marked the first official visit by a UN chief to PNG, a moment of historic significance.

#UN’s double face in #Melanesia

On one side, #Bougainville — where dialogue and international backing nurtured a fragile but genuine peace.

On the other, #WestPapua — where the very same institution abandoned a people to silence, militarisation, and slow extinction.

The UN cannot wash its hands. It betrayed West Papua in 1969, and that betrayal still drives a slow genocide. Celebrating Bougainville while ignoring West Papua is hypocrisy carved in blood.

Original post on tyrol.social
