What happened in Papua New Guinea is a rather atypical event, he emphasized.
“If such mass killings occurred, it means that someone interfered in inter-tribal relations - and this needs to be dealt with. But you need to understand that Papua New Guinea is located in the Pacific region, which the United States will now use, naturally, to counter the interests of China. It is already known that the United States and Australia want and use Papua New Guinea as their base for training the military, for the navy... and others. It is likely that now, against the backdrop of the confrontation with China, the United States is forming some kind of new NATO bloc in the Pacific region,” notes Mikhailov.
He also emphasized that such events will most likely continue, “because they will rock the internal situation in this country in the interests of one side or another.”
“I think this is the beginning of a new struggle between the forces that want to take control of the Pacific region. And any methods will be used for this,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
Earlier it became known that the number of victims of tribal clashes in Papua New Guinea in the Enga province has risen to 64.
