Dass es aber im gesammten Bouggy Chat nur eine einzige Gegenstimme dazu gibt hätte ich nicht erwartet.(U. die kommt bezeichnenderweise noch nichtmal von der Insel sondern von V.J. der grünen  AU Anti-mining Emanze u. persönlicher Feindin des ESBC Präsi.;-)))))

Bougainville rebel leaders reconcile after 17 years

DON WISEMAN | Radio New Zealand International

THREE KEY FORMER Bougainville Revolutionary Army commanders in Papua New Guinea yesterday set aside their differences at a meeting at Panguna.

It is the latest step as the autonomous Bougainville province moves closer to a decision on whether the controversial mine at Panguna can be re-opened.

The three men - Ishmael Toroama of the BRA, Moses Pipiro from the Me’ekamui Unity Government and Chris Uma from the original Me’ekamui faction - agreed to reconcile after 17 years of enmity.

They had split in 1996 after then leader, Joseph Kabui, who later became the first president of Bougainville, agreed to start negotiations to end the civil war.

Rebel leader the late Francis Ona, who had initiated the conflict, was opposed and sparked a split, which was often marked by violent clashes and delayed the province’s recovery from the war.

Mr Uma told those gathered that the reconciliation will bear fruit in the near future.

The three men say any re-opening of the Panguna mine must be sanctioned by the people of Bougainville and not by them as individuals.

any re-opening of the Panguna mine must be sanctioned by the people of Bougainville and not by them as individuals.

Wie soll diese Zustimmung der Bevölkerung aussehen und wann soll die Zustimmung eingeholt werden?  

Die Zustimmung ist längst gegeben oder wo siehst du eine Opposition zur Wiedereröffnung .

Ist die Zustimmung durch fehlenden Protest automatisch gegeben "silence is acceptance"? Warum wird dann in den Medienberichten der letzten Tage immer betont, dass die Bevölkerung die Zustimmung geben muss?

Wie ist die Meinung zu den 5 Mrd. Belcol? Es ist doch klar, dass BCL niemals 5 Mrd. Entschädigung in Cash zahlen kann. Warum setzt man sich dann vor den Verhandlungen zum BCA derart unter Druck, dass man eigentlich nur verlieren kann bzw.
dass alle wieder sauer auf BCL sind?

Wenn die Momis-Aussage "Die Forderungen sollten BCL nicht überraschen" auch auf die 5 Mrd. abzielt, können wir das Thema abhaken.
 

.......dass Momis, Lo`s, Meekamui etc. das nicht wissen?

Bougainville Revolutionary Army Factions bury 17 years of differences to bring stability
by ramunickel
Post Courier

In an historic occasion, three key former Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA) Commanders put aside their differences to reconcile in the interest of Bougainville after 17 years of hostility.

The three are ex-BRA kingpin Ishmael Toroama, Moses Pipiro from the Me’ekamui Unity Government and Chris Uma from the original Me’ekamui faction.

They were followers of late revolutionary leader Francis Ona who ignited the 10-year Bougainville Civil War in protest against the Panguna copper mine operated by Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL).

The reconciliation has opened up a new and positive chapter for Bougainville’s future.

The split between the three came in 1996 at Roreinang Mission when BRA strongman Joseph Kabui, later to become the first Autonomous Bougainville Government President, led a team to the negotiation table with the Papua New Guinea Government to find a non-military solution to the war.

The move was vehemently opposed by late Francis Ona who refused to negotiate. The result was the establishment of the Me’ekamui Government.

Pipiro then broke away from the original Me’ekamui commanded by Uma and formed the Me’ekamui Unity Government with Philip Miriori. Toroama maintained a pro-ABG stance.

The split resulted in numerous altercations which continued until recently and potentially threatened the peace process.

With Wenesday’s reconciliation, this is now a thing of the past and a step forward for Bougainville’s peace process.

The historic event saw a customary ritual performed to signify peace and unity among the three warlords. They signed a Memorandum of Agreement to work hand in hand for the future of Bougainville.

The ceremony was witnessed by ABG Vice President Patrick Nisira and ministers, United Nations representatives and other donor agencies.

“I stand united with you today,” Pipiro said.

“This is the way forward for all of us. We must be united.”

Uma said unification is the only way forward.

He thanked all former fighters and assured the people of Bougainville this reconciliation will bear fruit in the near future.

Whilst the reconciliation bodes well for the Panguna Mine re-opening, the three said the re-opening of the mine must be sanctioned by the people of Bougainville and not by them as individuals.

Toroama reminded the people of Bougainville that the reconciliation does not guarantee the Panguna Mine will be opened, however said it will give safe passage to people or investors “who want to come and explore our beautiful island”.

And Pipiro stood by his stated claim of K10 billion compensation from BCL before the mine can be opened.

Three key former Bougainville Revolutionary Army commanders in Papua New Guinea have set aside their differences at a meeting on Wednesday at Panguna.

It is the latest step as the autonomous Bougainville province moves closer to a decision on whether the controversial mine at Panguna can be re-opened.

B’ville’s glitch

By ROMULUS MASIU

FAILED money scam operator and renowned con-man Noah Musingku and his U-Vistract has been described as an ‘obstacle’ to the peace process and Bougainville’s aspiration to referendum for independence.
This was echoed by several leaders and ex-combatants in Panguna during the reconciliation of three factional leaders, Ishmael Toroama, Chris Uma and Moses Pipiro.
Former BRA commander for Buin in South Bougainville Thomas Tarii led the onslaught, saying U-Vistract is another obstacle and it’s about time the ABG addresses the issue as more Bougainvilleans are being fooled by this con-man Musingku. Mr Tarii, who has once tried to flush out the U-Vistract organisation in Tonu, Siwai, said people like Musingku and his failed money scam must be dealt with by authorities.
Mr Tarii said while he was trying his best to set the foundation for unification amongst ex-combatants and the people of Buin and South Bougainville, people like Musingku and his money scam were becoming an obstacle to the process.
He said unification was the key for peace on Bougainville, adding that unification amongst Bougainvilleans was not just a thing of today but it had been in our minds and hearts ever since we started fighting the war.
“It is people like Musingku who brainwash ordinary illiterate Bougainvilleans to have negative thoughts and minds about respect for authorities and the purpose of our struggle, and why we fought this war.”
Mr Tarii said only through unity and reconciliation would we be eligible to go into referendum and achieve ultimate independence for Bougainville.
“Let’s not curse the referendum of Bougainville because unification and unity is the key to our political journey.”
ABG vice president Patrick Nisira also challenged Bougainvilleans not to practice cultism and a free-money mentality.
“Bougainville will be built and developed on pure hard work and sweat and not on free handouts, free millions. No plane or ship will carry millions of kina to our shores. We’ve learnt to work hard from our ancestors, parents and from the Holy Bible teachings.”
James Onato, another former BRA commander from Kieta, Central Bougainville, blamed organisations like U-Vistract for misleading innocent Bougainvilleans.
He said the late Francis Ona met his fate after he listened to Musingku and his failed money scheme U-Vistract –which promised goods and money coming from vessels and planes. If he had not listened to Musingku, he would be alive today and be with us. He had come right down – lowered himself to the level of the failed money scheme after being conned by Musingku.

Ruben Siara on Inside Bougainville
by ramunickel
mekamui

Mekamui news had a short interview with Ruben Siara when he was at a meeting with the Resource Owners in Arawa on Thursday 18th of July 2013.



Ruben Siara is a Lawyer and was in Arawa when the Bougainville
conflict started. He has been on Bougainville ever since and he too lost
 his properties like the rest of the Bougainvilleans.

Because he is a lawyer the Bougainville Revolutionary Leaders at the 
time invited him to join them as their legal advisor for 10 solid years
 and later form the Bougainville Interim Government. When they started
 the peace negotiation, late Joseph Kabui and his group went to
 negotiations that led to the peace agreement when he stayed back with Francis Ona, maintaining a bargaining position.

When Francis Ona died he just stayed on the Island than ABG called him, now he’s the first secretary with the ministry of Veteran Affairs. At
 the same time he is working with the Resource Owners fighting to make a new policy and law on mining to give ownership rights to the resource owners. The resource owners from Panguna and seven prospect areas which BCL held before.

When asked if Bougainville will have several mines or just one, he says
 with three hundred thousand people we don’t need too many mines
 even with small alluvial mines we need to take control of it.

With the question of reopening Panguna mine Mr Siara stated that 
Panguna mine is a touchy issue and one thing that we have to realise is that Panguna mine cost a lot of pain and suffering to the people of
 Bougainville.

Some people asked why we can’t use Panguna with its huge resource to help us, in the past foreigners benefitted from it,
why can’t it help Bougainvilleans now? However others say lets depend on renewable resources like agriculture, tourism and fishing etc.

The peace agreement was signed in 2001 in Arawa and since then the ABG has been trying to resolve the Panguna mine issue, they say we don’t have money lets reopen the Panguna mine. There is still all the compensation demands to be met, the Government and BCL are not doing anything and to reopen the mine without solving the grievances of the people is not in anyway helping with the peace building.

Mekamui news asked him was there any time when Panguna Landowners with other players who are concerned about the Panguna mine held any talks with BCL?

Two weeks ago he joined the landowners in Buka which Paul Coleman the Secretary of BCL attended. During the meeting BCL Paul Coleman told the Landowners that BCL doesn’t have much money because it didn’t operate for many years and is a bit worried about the demands and compensation.
However, if they are invited back to the Island they will reopen the
mine with US 5 billion dollars, just for the reopening.

When Paul Coleman says they have no money to meet the demands and compensation what do you think the people of Bougainville, the 
excombatants and stakeholders will say? The USA Lawsuit
has been dismissed which means at this point we can’t press BCL to pay the compensation. Has the dismissal of the court case something to do with the reopening of Panguna?

Ruben told Mekamui news that he didn’t get a full report from the Lawyers in the US. Therefore, if BCL is returning back to the Island they will know that they will not be
 welcome on Bougainville. They will meet the Belkol or peace of mind package, but the issue of compensation is not raised by the ABG or BCL alike.

The Resource Owners who are here today are not really concerned about Panguna as they are from the other 7 prospecting areas; they are working on establishing proper boundaries and have it registered so that everything in their land is theirs or they have the ownership from top to bottom.

.......... reconcilitation process.

http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/...ion-process/1167174

Updated 26 July 2013, 16:51 AEST

There's been another step towards healing the wounds caused by the civil war in Bougainville with an historical meeting between leaders of the formally warring factions of the Bougainville Revolutionary ArmyThe three are ex-BRA kingpin Ishmael Toroama, Moses Pipiro from the Me'ekamui Unity Government and Chris Uma from the original Me'ekamui faction.
Another step forward in Bougainville's reconcilitation process (Credit: ABC)

They were followers of late revolutionary leader Francis Ona who ignited the 10-year Bougainville Civil War in protest against the Panguna copper mine operated by Bougainville Copper Limited.

Presenter: Pius Bonjui

Speaker: President of Autonomous Regional of Bougainville, John Momis

MOMIS: Yes, the encounter between the three ex-combatant leaders at Panguna was a very, very important event, because the ex-combatant themselves, the commanders did not work together. One commander worked with the ABG, the other two supported Me'ekamui and now as a result of the reconciliation, they have pledged to work together and work with ABG to restore law and order, rule of law, good governance, support good governance, work for fiscal self-reliance, and also create a stable atmosphere which would be conducive to both internal investors and foreign investors. As the date for referendum comes closer, people now realise that we have to work harder and stabilise the situation and also work harder to ensure that there is good governance, that there some measure of democratisation to happen in Bougainville, so that when the time comes for the referendum, which we must also be prepared. People will vote freely and according to their conscience, so that the outcome will be acceptable to all factions.

BONJUI: Now, that the two other factions are ex-combatants are now fall into line with the Ishmael Toroama as a group, The authorised Bougainville government now is going to meaningfully engage with the rest of the Bougainville people to move the region ahead?

MOMIS: Absolutely. I think there is as a result of the agreement yesterday, as a result of their encounter and reaching the agreement to work together, there is certainly a greater sense of solidarity in Bougainville amongst all factions and this is good for us, because the ABG is a legitimate government on the ground and despite the fact that we don't have a sufficient funds and sufficient capacity for governance, the fact that people are now supporting the government, especially in view of the fact that in a referendum, the date for the referendum is imminent, so that we must work together to instill a sense of hope and sense of comfort that things will stable and that peace will prevail.

BONJUI: Right y ou are visiting or you are planning to visit Guava Village as a form of reconciliation on your part. When are you travelling there and tell us a bit more about  this visit to Guava Village?

MOMIS: Yes, the event is being prepared for probably in about three weeks time. They'll be a major event, because I'll be going back to the late Francis Ona's own village, where I was held captive, and then released by Francis Ona, because he agreed that I should go back unharmed to represent Bougainville in the National Parliament and  Bougainville's interests.

So I think it's important for me to go back and touch base with the people and also visit the grave of the former leader, Francis Ona.

And after that, we will have two days of consultative meetings in Panguna itself, with the landowners, which will probably the second last meeting we will have in order to prepare our people to organise ourselves, work out our position with respect to the important issue of negotiations with BGL on the Bougainville Copper Limited.

der letzte Satz um den Versprecher und Transkriptionsfehler bereinigt sollte wohl enden:

...with BCL on the Bougainville Copper Agreement.

 

im ersten Anlauf habe ich von IB eine negative Antwort bekommen.
"IB bietet leider keine Aktienregistrierung an."
Ist es jemand bei IB schon gelungen, die Aktien an Computershare zu übertragen und eintragen zu lassen?  

This geochemical prospecting process, along with available historical data on known deposits and mineral indications, added to the areas of interest that had been identified previously, resulting in increases in high-grade prospect inventory, to include the following project areas:

1. Kupei (one large prospect area)
2. Atamo (three defined prospect areas)
3. Mainoki (two defined prospect areas)
4. Karatu (two defined prospect areas)
5. Kopani (four defined prospect areas)
6. Isina (one high grade prospect area)–Landowner resistance prevented full assessment
7. Deuro Range (three defined prospect areas)
8. Puspa (three defined prospect areas)
9. Keriake – Sisivi (one defined prospect area)

.......the Hon Peter O'Neill, mandated the government solicitor of PNG to draft a new Heads of Agreement that will grant full economic and customary land rights and lift the current moratorium exploration and mining over the entire Island including the Panguna Moratorium Area.

There is now a draft Mining Law Bill proposing a new mining regime for Bougainville that is anticipated to come before Parliament following a series of meetings between stakeholders in July/August 2013.

geht zwar nicht, man kann aber sehr wohl Aktien übertragen, normalerweise an einen anderen Broker, aber sicher auch an Computershare. Muss man sich da perönlich einen Accout anlegen oder werden alle BCL Aktien gesammelt mit Eigentümernachweis aufbewahrt?  

Frage doch mal einfach bei Computershare nach.

Nisira on mining 
on Bougainville
by ramunickel
Aloysius Laukai | New Dawn



The ABG Vice President, Patrick Nisira said that reopening of the closed Panguna mine will be decided by the people of Bougainville and no the ABG.

 He made these remarks at the reconciliation ceremony in Panguna.

Mr.Nisira said that the ABG was using the regional forums on Panguna negotiations to access the information.

 The last of the regional forums will be held at Panguna next month.

He said that the ABG was also in the process of finalizing its own mining policy which will give the ownership rights to the traditional landowners who will now own what is on their land from the surface to six feet below and beyond.

He refuted comments by Thomas Tari who said that many ABG members were not doing anything to move Bougainville to Referendum.

 Mr Nisira said that the ABG was doing a lot of things but was not making awareness to inform people on ABGs achievements so far.  

Zitat:
Mr Pipiro says his earlier claim for compensation of 3.26 billion US dollars from Bougainville Copper Ltd before the mine can be re-opened still stands.”

Ich sach dazu nur: Die spinnen doch die Römer, oder?  

Landowners und ABG haben sehr gute Möglichkeit mit BOC einen guten Deal auszuhandeln und Compensationansprüche im Gesamtpackage lukrativ auszugestalten. In gewissem Rahmen (zb share Deal) wird BOC dies sicherlich auch tun. Bei jeder anderen Minengesellschaft wird dieser Punkt nicht vergütet werden .... Deshalb bin ich optimistisch, dass ABG und Landowners zwar einen guten Deal anstreben , aber sich bewusst sind, dass BOC keine 2 Mrd upfront bezahlt ....sollte es nicht zum Deal mit BOC kommen , hat auch ABG ein Problem .... Was sind die Minenrechte eigentlich Wert, wenn sie nicht eingehalten werden ???? Zukünftige Investoren ??? Fehlanzeige  !  

Die Aussage von Momis im Interview dass er erwartet dass "BCL back on Bougainville by end of the Year" ist setzt zwingend voraus dass eine Einigung erzielt wird.

Die in den BCL Lizenzgebieten vorhandenen gesamten Rohstoffreserven haben eher einen Wert im "Trillion" statt im "Billion" Bereich.

Kein Wunder dass da hoch gepokert (u. auch beim Sharepreis manipuliert) wird. ;-))))))

Zur Erinnerung: The following also are in the pipeline:

Ein genauer Zeitplan was in den nächsten 3 Monaten auf der Tagesordnung steht,davon ist zu den meisten Daten offiziell noch garnichts veröffentlicht.An der Kadenz kann man erkennen dass der Prozess sich immer mehr beschleunigt.
