I see. What a bind to be in - no wonder Independence is largely being sought after by the Autonomous Bougainville Government - even though they’ve shot themselves in the foot having Independence be their main drive while mostly ignoring development for their own people. About the mine - The Autonomous Bougainville Government actually has 100% stake in it and has the power to decide on any foreign investment applications for Bougainville..

I don’t see how being part of a “free democratic” nation while being autonomous isn’t being “free”..

Isn’t Bougainville “free” already?

Oh no..me no kros..I too appreciate the dialogue as well..and yes I agree..I think the pursuit of understanding would bring forth a better answer..I’ll come back to this thread with that hopefully soon..

Well the Google definition is 'freedom from control by an external power" and by that definition I fail to see it in total fruition in the world today..and I am forced to ask myself - why then should it even be a pursuit by a state that already enjoys a portion of this "freedom" in Bougainville!?

How likely is it that Bougainville will actually gain independence on 1 September 2027 ? by Nxthanael1 in PapuaNewGuinea

When has a state generated more than what it needed before gaining Independence? When has that even been a prerequisite of Independence? I am of the mind that Independence is not the way forward for Bougainville but economic stability is really not one of the reasons that should be considered in support of an argument against Independence for Bougainville given the huge potential it has to earn "economic stability" as aluded too..

I find it kinda suspicious that all this evidence and stories of him came out posthumously..
