Why Innocent Lives Continue to Suffer in Papua New Guinea? “My name is Robert Leso. My name is not Kandep, Enga or Highlands. I make my own decision to live my life and work hard for myself. If I go around stealing, raping or killing someone, why should people go around looking for Kandep, Enga or Highlands to take revenge? They should aim Robert Leso. Why should I hide behind my family, tribe, district, province or region? I do not feed everyone to make every innocent responsible for my stupidity in the name of where I come from! Why causing stress for innocent women, children and elites who have no bush knives, guns and arms to defend themselves? This nonsense has to stop in Papua New Guinea. No one is an iron man regardless of how many high powered guns they have.” – Robert Leso.

Why Innocent Lives Continue to Suffer in Papua New Guinea

Why Innocents Suffer? By Robert Iki Leso – 25th October 2022. Dear friends and loved ones. Bear with me as I wish to sincerely express a disappointment that continues to bother me! For just one person causing stupidity, why are we calling names of tribes, provinces and regions blaming the innocent? This to me is insane! Tribe is not a name of a person. Name of a province or a region is not a name of a person. My name is Robert Leso. My name is not Kandep, Enga or Highlands. I make my own decision to live my life and work hard for myself. If I go around stealing, raping or killing someone, why should people go around looking for Kandep, Enga or Highlands to take revenge? They should aim Robert Leso. Or even I should surrender and go straight to the jail to save other people headache. Why should I hide behind my family, tribe, district, province or region? I do not feed everyone to make every innocent responsible for my stupidity in the name of where I come from! Why causing stress for innocent women, children and elites who have no bush knives, guns and arms to defend themselves? This nonsense has to stop in this country. No one is an iron man regardless of how many high powered guns they have. Whether you are from the Highlands or Coast, the same applies to all of us. Why should an innocent live in fear for a trouble that they have never caused or know nothing about? Why should a stupid irresponsible person’s problem becomes everyone’s issue mostly including the innocent and the vulnerable? Look at all the killings that are going on in this country! Look at all the destruction of properties! When you look at them closely, the innocent suffer more in the name of a tribe, province or a region. The guilty, the murderers, the rapists, the thieves and the real trouble makers are well armed to defend themselves. They run free and wild. We should begin to call ourselves Papua New Guineans and stop grouping ourselves in those stupid groups. Yes I am proud of where I come from. But I hate to use them as a mask to kill, rape, steal and cause pain to other fellow citizens regardless of who they are or where they come from. We will never win by trying to destroy another innocent brother, tribe, group or region! Let us begin to call the devil by his name! No individual, province or region in this country is special or superior than another. We need each other to make this country strong and prosperous. There is strength in diversity! STOP KILLING AND CAUSING NUISANCE TO THE INNOCENT! Read more news and stories here. Watch online news and documentaries about Papua New Guinea here.
