파푸아뉴기니, 경찰 파업 사이 대규모 폭동으로 최소 16명 사망

We begin today in Papua New Guinea, where the prime minister declared a 14-day state of emergency in the country's capital on Thursday, after at least 16 people were killed in rioting.
Papua New Guinea authorities reported on Thursday that 9 people died in the capital Port Moresby, with a further 7 killed in the city of Lae, amid widespread looting and arson in riots which began on Wednesday.
Prime Minister James Marape said on Thursday that more than 1,000 soldiers are on standby "to step in wherever necessary" as shops and cars were torched and looted. He also suspended Papua New Guinea's chief of police and top officials in the finance and treasury departments.

Police and public sector workers went on a strike on Wednesday over a pay cut, which the government claimed to be a administrative glitch. The unrest follows the growing tension over high unemployment and rising costs.

There has been violence in Guinea ahead of a controversial referendum on constitutional amendments critics say will be used to allow 82-year-old President Alpha Conde to extend his time in office with a third term.

Despite attacks on several polling sites, alleged irregularities in voter lists, and concerns about the spread of coronavirus, the government is still urging people to vote.

#Guinea #2020GuineaReferendum #GuineaProtests

The Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) has decided to impose sanctions on individuals in the military government of Guinea in response to last year's coup in Conakry.

The leaders from the bloc met in New York where they were attending the UN General Assembly.
They agreed at the emergency summit Thursday to impose gradual sanctions on Guinea's junta over its inflexibility in setting a date to return to civilian rule.

A meeting summary said that the leaders agreed on "gradual sanctions" on a list of people linked to the Guinean junta who will be identified "very soon" by the bloc's leadership.
