United in Peace: PNG Security Force Veterans and Bougainville Veterans apologize

The Vunapope Catholic Mission Station was again full of emotion as PNG Security Force Veterans and Bougainville Veterans apologized for wrongs committed during the decade-long Bougainville Conflict.
The PNG Veterans, led by former PNGDF Commanders, Jerry Singirok, and Peter Ilau.
What was unimaginable at the height of the crisis - both sides speaking to each other face to face - was realized this afternoon as both sides sought forgiveness.
Today’s (Wednesday, 6th November) symbolic ceremony now paving the way for a planned National Reconciliation on Bougainville.
