The situation is under control, we have two Papua New Guinea Defence Force platoons from Delta Company and Police Mobile Squad units 11 and 12, all on the ground," he said. Kakas said the Provincial Executive Council had declared Wapenamanda in Enga a "fighting zone".
He also said several more people have been wounded and are in hospital. "Ten people have been killed so far, only four have been accounted for, meaning four bodies had been brought in by police whilst the other six are still yet to be recovered." "The inter-clan fighting became worse after the Sikin, Kaikin and other nearby clans, all from the same tribe, backed the Mupapalu clan and attacked the Nenei clan in a bid to take over their land," he said.
The National newspaper reports provincial police commander Chief Inspector George Kakas as saying the fight broke out between the Mupapalu and the Nenei tribes last week over a land dispute. Ten people have been killed in Papua New Guinea's Enga Province in a tribal fight.
