The Autonomous Region of Bougainville is a group of islands currently a part of Papua New Guinea.
Bougainville will hold an independence referendum to decide wether to become a seperate sovereign state from Papua New Guinea in November 2019.
However the Bougainville Independence Referendum will be non-binding, so it is unclear what will happen if independence from Papua New Guinea is voted for.
Find out a brief overview of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and why the AROB is holding a referendum on independence from Papua New Guinea.

People who visited every country in the world: OH CMON
Drew Binsky 😂
Underrated
Marcelo oh i was gonna say that
Alexwink true
People who actually visited Bougainville: *shame*
I'm a bougainvillean. Thanks very much for this beautiful video.
Hi bro I'm from senegal in Africa. I really want to visit Bougainville and many Oceanians countries. I wanna ask you if it's dangerous there.
@@yayasolly7270 No i think, Oceanía is Very peaceful place :y!!
So after independence, will they still be called Autonomous Region of Bougainville or just Bougainville
@@abch20 probably republic of Bougainville..
@@yayasolly7270 you are most welcome to come to Bougainville.. We have the same black beauty skin colour.. I love Africans too
Holy shits that is one pretty island.
Hell yes it is!
Beautiful people too.
I live in that country
I swear people better not throw freaking pollution into that country or do anything bad
@Hernando Malinche nahh bet you are tho
*Chinese sees video*
Chinese: all right boys we going to this country
They already started. To south pacifics...
There no TH-cam in China but still funny
A large number of chinese in every country . idk why
I thought America?

The island of New Guinea looks like a dinosaur.
The island of Papua (both part united) resembles a bird endemic to the island: it's Cendrawasih.
Looks like a kangaroo
Its a bird
Its a cat
It's A BIRD, cendrawasih nicknamed as the bird from paradise
Interesting video, I'm bougainvillean,Hope PNG will let Bougainville gain it's independence or back to the Solomon family.✝️
So ultimately this referendum aims to achieve unification with the Solomon Islands rather than establishing and maintaining Bougainville as a sovereign state?
If independence failed , Bougainville will integrate with SI.
@@maxypriest3130 what if independence succeeds? Will they keep sovereignty or transfer it over to SI like Crimea did to Russia
@@mofeil If independence succeds, we will keep the sovereignty.
@@maxypriest3130hope your people will get the result that they want and png will respect whatever comes after.
After years of struggle for independence, it is inconceivable that Bougainville joins another country, Your island is rich in natural resources and can live and develop. There are small countries that do not have any wealth, but have chosen independence . Keep your independence because is it expensive.
Update 2.0: As of two months ago (July 2021), Papua New Guinea has agreed to Bougainville's independence, with the process set for 2027.
Congratulations to the affected peoples.
Can't wait! I'm bored of south soudan being the youngest country.
And it might be part of another younger county in the future, the East African federation
And East Timor is just stale by now.....:-)
Congratulations to the people of Bougainville.
I wish you a happy founding.
Blessings from Taiwan

I wish Taiwan can retake his first homeland from china
Hope Taiwan can retake mainland China.
I hope Taiwan can get an embassy there. GO TAIWAN!!!
Bougainville deserves Independence....I believe the PNG Government will drag the issue even if the good people of Bougainville vote for Independence...I wish the people of Bougainville the very best...Love from your Papuan 1toks from the Central Province
It's kind of funny, cuz I live near a village in France called Bougainville where 440 people live.
It's the village where the family of Louis Antoine de Bougainville, the explorer who discovered the island, comes from.
If the island really becomes independent, it will wear the name of a super small french village ^^
Victor Från Frankrike that’s a nice little bit of history thanks for sharing
And bougainvillea is a plant
@@joetrump2983
Yes, discovered by that French "capitain", somewhere in South America (in el Peru or Equador... check it!)
That’s awesome
The country's name will probably be changed to something that is native
I'm PNG from Rabaul and support Bougainville in which ever direction they choose.
Looking at the map, I think they are better served by joining Solomon Islands then being a new country.
I hope PNG respects and helps them in their decision.
Do you speak any papuan languages?
Shane שיין :
No way !!!!
If they want to be part of any other country let them be.
They don't need help from PNG period !!!!!!!!
@@moreenkasu2925 Apparently you cant read
why
I'd really like to know the motivation behind this, if its about minerals then they need to do a lot more homework & soul-searching before they break away. From here it just seems like a stupid pride thing. Ol buka ya, always thought they were a cut above the rest, no joke, like they special or sumthing.
Good luck Bouganville.im from Australia.sorry for our governments involvement in your beautiful island .our people oh your people .I don't forget how your people help 🇦🇺 .you deserve independence.love 🇦🇺
There is no doubt Bougainville will become a new country, as the majority wanted it a long time ago but PNG refused to let go because it received so much from BCL and the mine. The conflict cost lives and ruined the economy and has taken a long time to rebuild and still suffers. Beautiful island and people and I spent many nice times there as a kid...sapot bilong mi stap wantaim ol papa graun bilong Bougainville..mi hamamas sapos yupela kisim independens.
Advance welcome Bougainville, from the Philippines
Best wish for Bougainville. Greetings from Vanuatu. Love the Channel
vanutu is only a small country, even their country will be lost because of the tide, but they support the OPM terrorist organization (the independent Papua terrorist organization in Indonesia), a jerk and an idiot country!
Hi bro I'm from senegal in Africa. I really like Vanuatu. I want to visit Vanuatu and many Oceanians countries.
@@AndyLouHongkong true, Vanuatu is suppossed to concern about their future, that this country is doomed and their generation may sink into the abbyss of the pacific. PNG dont let this tiny country talk shits about PNG sovereignity.

as of November 20th 2021 Bougainville has made agreements with Papua New Guinea as will gain full independence by 2027
Great video. I know it’s not cut and dry, but I still reckon Bougainville is about the best current candidate to be the next UN member. (Over others such as Palestine, Kosovo, Western Sahara and Scotland.) It certainly tops my list of possible new states. I guess we’ll know soon enough!

James Ker-Linsay. thanks for your support
Let's leave the UN out of this. The UN is a shit association. They can barely do anything regarding human rights on West Papua. The PNG government has already granted referendum. And though a lot of us Papua New Guineans will miss our AROB relatives if the wished outcome becomes reality, we do know that they have the right to decide. Besides, it's their land. And land as any islander knows, is LIFE.
I sincerely hope that Papua New Guinea doesn’t drag their feet on this.
@@lait3967 i hope the PNG government give AROB independence asap. gim tasol
Another really interesting video. Thanks for your time and effort, always worth the watch.
I am Bougainvillian independence is ours .Bloodshed.
Hi bro I'm from senegal in Africa. I really like Bougainville. I want to visit Bougainville and many Oceanians countries.
So after independence, will they still be called Autonomous Region of Bougainville or will they be called Bougainville
American here. Would love to visit Bougainville someday, hopefully as an independent nation. 👍🏻
Why do you need to spill blood in order to gain independence?
@@Awesome84 thats how every country got theirs.. I mean not everyone mostly the small countries
I just made my way through all of your videos and I have to say I really enjoyed the content! Have subscribed and look forward to your next vid 👍👍
Well researched and informative piece. The issue is a delicate one. Both parties, PNG and AROB will tread this one very carefully.

@@JamesKerLindsay Amazing to follow this guy from just a couple of hundred followers!
Just make sure to not become like Nauru.
In management sense.
Riches of Bougainville goes to PNG and then to Australia. No wonder why Australian government is against the succession.

From 🇵🇬... so sad when the News came out my black brothers and sisters vote for independence, but any way their decision.. hope the best for them... Our black brothers and sisters 😢😢😔😔💯👍🇵🇬👏👋

Thank you!
OK, Bougainville voted for independence, but that does not mean that we will have our 194th UN member state - at least not yet. It should take time before both the PNG and Bougainville's regional governments agree upon the transition of the region, as well as creating a new constitution, but also the possibility for holding ANOTHER referendum - this time about joining the Solomon Islands. But I think Bougainville would want to be independent, because if they wanted to join the neighboouring Solomon Islands the referendum would've had 3 options anyway - independence, staying in PNG or joining the Solomon Islands. And besides, the Solomon Islands Archipelago is ethically diverse and was that way for millenia. Even in the Solomon Islands state itself there was an armed conflict in the late 90's-early 00's between the various ethnical groups.
An Independent Bougainville would be around the same size as Cyprus (de jure) and the US territory of Puerto Rico. Population wise it will be slightly less than Vanuatu, but more than Barbados. But even after achieving independence, Bougainville will still be one of the poorest countries in the wolrd, relying hevilly on investments from abroad - Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and China
THATS OKAY!!! it's okay if your poor thats where hardworks show..
Free Bougainville. Support from your neighbors in Polynesia.
Passando por causa da matéria no UOL. Que lugar lindo!

Give Bougainville Independence. Respect their decision for the people have spoken. There is nothing more left to discuss.
I'm indonesian and i support Bougainville referendum. Papua is such a blessed land, it's also a curse to its own people
West Papua should also be independent.
@@increasepeace4996 up to papuans, but i think indonesian government wont give papuans indenpence anytime soon 🤷
Just lets the people choose
Best wishes for bougainvillea independence country love from Pakistani🇵🇰
It’s good for Baugainvillea to get Independence, however, PNG will put strong VISA barrier against Buka, the same that happened to PNG when breaking away from Australia will happen to Bougainvillea , I wish them a good start, all the bougainvillean students in PNG now will be regarded as international students and will pay very high tuition - it will be devastating- png need to build a medical university their first with at least a university first, before officially giving Independence to them.
Absolutely, Further more, they haven't built infrastructure, quality educational institutions, healthcare and communications na ol sigarap lo kisim Independence stap.
Who cares
@@renae.e.oiroboreo7584like you felt what the Bougainvilleas felt during the war and experienced what they went through. So if you know nothing of the bloody pain they felt and what they faced during the crisis you can shut your big mouth and let them have their Independence coz they deserve it period! Talking about infrastructures, you haven't been recently to Bougainville? You should go and see what they have accomplished during these times and what they are working on. You People talk a lot but know nothing of the plan for Bougainville. Em nap.
That's it right on the point
Greetings for Bougainville from the great Republic of Indonesia
Freedom West Papua

How do you call a person from Bougainville that committed a crime?
A Bougainvillain!
Or if he moves to Australia, you can call him a "bogan"! ;)
Ahah Good one 😂
What about unification with the Solomon Islands?
Congratulatios peoplr of Bauganville, may god bless your land
I writed this comment in Mexico
OMG. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SEA 0:08 is it real?. I would love to live there. >_
This may or may not have some repercussion to the successionist movements in the neighbouring Indonesia.
hm
If they gain independence will they be the Republic of Bougainville or go back to Republic of the North Solomons?
No..its vice versa..y hang loose.we r better off on our own.thx
@@MowMowMowDiittyMow Wow!!!

Can you do a video of West Papua ?? Thanks ✌🏿🙏🏿
Freedom for West Papua please. And with no bloodshed.
@Indonesia Javanese
All people's deserve the right to be self governing and not oppressed by more powerful states.
The Australian,Ian government and Australian mining company Rio Tinto caused the deaths of twenty thousand people of Bougainville.
Bougainville is part of the Solomon Islands Group and New Guinea should have no claim over it.
This problem stems from Colonial Times when Germany claimed Sovereignty over number of lands and islands in the region .
Australia was tasked with the responsibility of guiding and assisting New Guinea toward self government.
The Netherlands had promised to assist West Papua to do the same.
Both of these countries are cursed with mineral wealth.
Without the mines they would not be so attractive to powerful and greedy governments.
The Netherlands were typically disinterested in helping ant the Australian government is corrupted by wealthy shareholders and very frightened of Indonesia.
I am very lucky to be an Australian Citizen but I am ashamed of the apathy of my countrymen and ashamed of my democratically elected government.
Well, look at Nauru. Nauru had some of the world's biggest and richest guano (phosphates) deposits, but mismanagement by its politicians of the wealth derived from guano has left Nauru virtually bankrupt today. Other smaller Pacific Islands are also facing economic problems with no significant revenue-generating industries and high unemployment rates. Maybe Bougainville copper is good for one or two generations of Bougainvilleans; certainly the ones who are screaming for independence now will benefit. But what happens WHEN the copper runs out? Copra and cocoa? They've had copra and cocoa since the German New Guinea days till now with little to show for it despite over a hundred years of copra and cocoa on Bougainville; what difference will another hundred years make after the copper runs out? Even if they get independence, the Panguna landowners where all that copper sits may have their own plans which may conflict with the new government's economic aspirations. Anyway, only time will tell. All the best, Bougainville.
Nauru on the other hand did not face a 10 year civil war with its Government.. Or endure a 10 year blockade . Bougainville has gone through alot and trust me they are in a much better position to manage their own affairs more than ever.
Land of the brave and land of the free, we deserve our independence before 2027. 🙏❤️
Interesting video......btw tick box number 2
dude keep up the good work u r doing ... and keep updating.. great video
Good video & information. Kinda similar with current Kingdom of Pattani conflicts in Kera Isthamus in Thailand. Please make a video about Pattani & Singgora history, struggle, genocide and war of freedom too!
Stunning visuals
Bougainville Free 2020!
The results are not out for another few days but I read some of the people are alredy celebrating.
Bouganville independence will most likely happen on 2022...... interesting times ahead for this island province to be independent......
No
Is there any sense that the people of Bougainville might wish to join the sovereign state of Solomon Islands? (Presumably after first establishing their independence from PNG)
Independence for Bougainville
I think I've heard this voice before...
Are you the same guy from *Economics Explained* ?
That's not me but it sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out!
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
Stumbled on your channel. Great stuff! Hope you will expand more into Southeast Asia.
Good luck Bougainville. Yupla gat potential lo kamap Singapore blo Pacific. Love and well wishes from the main land 🇵🇬
Subscribed. Thanks
Please do one on west papua
Some basic questions.
What kind of economy do they have now in place to sustain n gurantee their separation n independence.?
What is the currency going to be like.?
Is the currency they will be using stronger then other currencies like AUS/US and PNG Kina.etc.. ?
From what I know, Francis Ona and his tribesmen fought for more benifits for Bougainvilians from the Copper mine... Never intended for Independence and Sam Kauna and the other tribesmen used that situation to assit Francis Ona and wanted Independence..These two factions are still at odes as we speak but silently.
Note that the mine is a non renewal resource and one day it will run out.... Independence based on such foundation will not last. Look around the world today... There are many countries who fought to have such indrpendence for theselves so they can manage their own resources but yet are still struggling today... Leaders who fought to get the Idependence have become wealthy with their cronies at the expence of the people.
My hope is for them to stay Automous untill such a time when they have created a good economy that can propel them forward.. Just my thoughts.
3:38 similar to the BARMM in the Philippines. Eventhough the majority population of the city voted Yes, still has to be agreed to by province where the city situated.
Very interesting. Similar to how Sabah and Sarawak are within Malaysia despite separated by the South China Sea.
the Malaysian Agreement provides no secession clause 💆♂️
Borneo people was malaysian.only stupid people want sabah and sarawak to seperate from malaysia.
Sabah is part of the Philippines
@@jefflim1838 nope, only your dream
If you guys want sabah to join philippines, i am sure sabah will get nothing lol
@arif mark007 sabah already free and harmony as part of malaysia
hi bro , can you tell me what software use to edit video?
98.7% of bougainvilleans voted for independence PNG government is stalling the inevitable
Bougainville is happy
While catalonia is sad
Noah Giovanni Videz and Scotland,Tibet, Hong Kong, Chechenya
It’s John C Scotland voted against independence
I remember reading tge book mr pip when I was in high school new Zealand
I'm double thanks for you.
Yes God will allow them Independence. Nature will allow for Bougainvilles independence as a New Guinea Islands myself I strongly believe and have faith that Bougainville will have it's Independence with or without the approval of PNG government
Name of the country is beautiful. Hope they get independence and prosper with their resources.
Thanks
We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯
Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!🤴🏿👸🏿
Bougainvilleans are great people. Govt of PNG must let them choose their own destiny.
Finally a place Bogans here can proudly call home
Woa...when I saw on the map.. near with Papua newgini. I cancel to move to this a new country...
why?
Good luck to Bougainville!
Just give it to the Solomon island country
Bougainville used to be known as the North Solomons. Given the link between Bougainville and the western province of the Solomons, it is a shame that Australia and the Uk didn’t come to an agreement to include Bougainville into the Solomon Islands.
Bougainville will be better off independent
What happens now to that referendum??!! What's the result?? I can't see on youtubr
I believe it succeeded now wait for in to recognise them
Great video - thank you. While every people deserve self determination - does Bvl have the populational "depth" and skill to run its own affairs properly and honestly (without corruption) or will it be the new fledgling state taken advantage of by local thugs or larger players in the area? (Indonesia, PRChina, USA, etc)
Independence hasn't worked out well for Nauru and some other small "coral reefs with flags" in the Pacific for that reason. If they become independent the best thing they could do would be to establish relations with Taiwan.
***Shout out to all my friends in PNG !! - D.A., J.D., NYC (atty and writer, international affairs) "Not an expert, just a well informed tourist."
It's still part of Papua New Guinea,it cannot be separated, it's just a small island 🏝️
Bougainville Island deserves independence and nothing more. The only solution is Independence !
Give us Independence, or we'll declare another UDI..
The problem is the result of referendum is legally binding or not ? It depends on Papua New Guinea to agree on that result or not . Why should Papua New Guinea involve on Bougainville decision . If Boungainvile people decide to secede from Papua New Guinea they must respect that result .
Referendum results cannot be ratified by moderators -Outsiders cannot determine PNG's destiny.
For me it's mean possible new distnation for turism.
But don't allow the religious fanatics who make all problems all over the worldf in to there....
They will destroy the beautiful land.....
Congratulations, name change to local name too?
God bless your country Thanks ...pls free West Papua.
Lol, hating papua new guinea but love west papua, hypocrite
@@afifbrian2540 we are brothers and sisters but money Make US fight and argue. stay positive.think positive.
No, it belongs to Indonesia Empire. And from the history lesson, you will need to sacrifice a lot of blood to dismantle an empire
It would be hard considering that you'll need to put a fight with Indonesian government which is the strongest military in the southeast asia. Not to mention that the current defense minister of Indonesia is a controversial ex general who is believed to be involved in series of disappearance, military violences, and human right abuses in the region during the 90s. Furthermore, the Indonesian govt has been investing large sum of moneys to Papua since 5 years ago through numerous development programs (such as the 1,000km-long national road and youtefa bridge construction, the single-price for petrol and the sea toll road program, and the rejuvenation of the road, security posts, and traditional markets in border areas). I doubt that they would just let the billions amount of dollar they spent reaps nothing. If a huge riot were to broke out, blood sheds would surely follow
