Mimika police still try to stop tribal war in Papua

"We and Commander of the Mimika District Military office Lt. Col. Inf. Tri Suseno this morning monitored the fight from a helicopter. We have noticed that they continue to fight this morning. We have tried various efforts to stop the tribal war and persuaded the conflicting tribes to make a peace," Mansembra said.

The tribal war started on Tuesday (Oct. 16) involving the Amungme tribe and two other tribes which have joined each other, namely Dani and Damal tribes.
