2024 Papua New Guinean unrest

The 2024 Papua New Guinean unrest started on 10 January 2024 in Papua New Guinea's capital Port Moresby, later spreading to Lae. It was caused by Prime Minister James Marape's tax deduction announcement which was later fixed. The riots had arson, looting and civil unrests. At least 16 people were killed. Marape later declared a state of emergency for 14 days and suspended the country's police chief and top officials in the finance and treasury ministries.
