2024: Wave of looting over police strike
In January 2024, riots swept Papua New Guinea - residents began to smash shops and looting. Chinese business also came under attack - the Chinese Embassy in the capital of the country protested to the country's authorities and called on them to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens.
The main reason is the strike of the police - they took to the streets due to the fact that they were not paid a significant part of the salary. Accusations of accepting new taxes immediately fell on the country's government without the knowledge of citizens, but the authorities assure that technical problems in the system are to blame.
In the capital, Port Moresby, several arson attacks, robberies and acts of looting were recorded. Although the government says that this has not happened in the history of the capital, it should be understood that Papua New Guinea's crime rates have long gone beyond the norm - the state ranks second in the world in terms of the number of crimes committed, although there is no armed conflict in the country. One of the main reasons for this situation is the poverty of the population.

History
120 thousand hp: The first small wave of Homo Sapiens migration from Africa
The work of Axel Timmermann and Tobias Friedrich (2016) provides the results of modeling the climate and its impact on the resettlement of mankind, which allows you to establish the time windows in which it could occur. The authors proceed from the assumption that people moved only in territories where they could find food, which means that it was possible to leave Africa only at that time and in that way, when and where flora and fauna were represented in sufficient quantities.
According to scientists, the Sapiens had only three windows suitable for resettlement: 130-118, 106-94, 89-73 thousand years ago[1]. The last of them best fits the "main event," when the resettlement became massive. But the first and second windows could also be suitable for migration. And, judging by the results of other teams, ancient people really took advantage of them.
So, judging by the genetic analysis of the natives of Australia and the inhabitants of New Guinea, the first people in this region appeared 120 thousand years ago, long before the ancestors of most non-Africans came out. But the genetic contribution of these early migrants is no more than two percent in the gene pool of New Guineans themselves, who, in a place with Aboriginal Australians, separated from the main population of Eurasia 51-72 thousand years ago.
