Drone video shows scale of looting in Papua New Guinea

Drone footage showed mass looting in Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby, amid widespread looting and arson after a day of protests as extra police were sent to quell unrest.

On Wednesday, shops were set on fire and citizens robbed and assaulted after police and public sector workers protested over a pay cut that officials blamed on an administrative glitch, several people died in Port Moresby and other cities.

On Thursday residents of the capital were asked to stay at home, while many businesses remained closed and all public transport was halted.

Oh, the government says there was a “computer glitch” that wiped out their salaries 😂 How did they expect anyone to believe that?

People living in shanty towns on the edge of town with Chinese owned businesses and projects being run only by Chinese people with zero prospects for the locals. What could possibly go wrong?

I was there in 1996 and it was the most dangerous place I have been to in my life and I have been to 56 countries. The hotel locked us in after 10pm. Beautiful country though and most people are peace loving especially outside urban areas. Rascals and alcohol are the biggest social problems.
