Kiribati elections<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The two rounds of elections to decide the new\nParliament have concluded. The Presidential elections will take place in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 14 new people have been elected to\nthe Parliament, which comprises 44 MPs. Four women have been elected. This\nmakes Kiribati one of the best performing countries in the region when it comes\nto female representation in national decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outgoing president Taneti Maamu and most\nof the caretaker ministers were also returned. However, the previous governing\ngroup looks to have had its majority\nreduced<\/a> and it is not clear at this stage what the next government will\nlook like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some commentators have suggested that the\nresults indicate dissatisfaction with Kiribati having switched diplomatic\nallegiance from Taiwan to China last year. However, domestic concerns were more\nlikely to have been of most significance in the minds of voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US announces team for Compact negotiations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Despite the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the USA is looking to press ahead with negotiations to extend Compact arrangements<\/a>. The Compact grant funding agreements that are in place with Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia come to an end in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US team will be led by Karen Stewart and\nDoug Domenech. Ms Stewart is the former ambassador to Marshall Islands and Mr\nDomenech is the Assistant Secretary of the Interior. Mr Domenech is reported as\nhaving said that he would like to see the negotiations finalised before the end\nof this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FSM has finalised its team. It will be led by\nLeo Falcam Jr, a former colonel in the US Marine Corps. He is the son of a\nformer president of the FSM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Marshall Islands, the negotiating team has\nyet to be finalised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jakarta Six are sentenced to jail in Indonesia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Indonesia the \u2018Jakarta\nSix\u2019<\/a> have been sentenced to jail. The six activists have been convicted of\ntreason and sentenced to periods of either eight or nine months imprisonment.\nThey were arrested and charged after participating in a peaceful protest in\nJakarta during August of last year. The protest was in support of\nself-determination for West Papua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the convicted is Paulus Suryanta, who\nis the first non-Papuan to be charged in connection with West Papuan activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A prominent human rights group in Indonesia,\nTAPOL, has denounced the convictions and the sentences. It has called for the\nimmediate release of the prisoners, citing concerns that to keep them in prison\nputs them at added risk of contracting Covid-19. The UN High Commissioner for\nHuman Rights, Michelle\nBachelet<\/a>, has said that political prisoners should be among the first to be\nreleased from prisons in the face of coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PNG government refuses renewal of the Barrick mining\nlicence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Papua New Guinea, the government has declined\nto renew<\/a> Barrick (Niugini) Gold\u2019s licence to mine at Porgera, in Enga\nprovince. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the latest in a series of tense\ninteractions between the state and the resources industry in the country. Given\nthe reliance of the PNG economy on mining, delays and disputes of this type are\nof concern to some. However, there has also been a degree of support for the\ngovernment\u2019s actions. By some they are seen as part of Prime Minister Marape\u2019s\npromise to \u201ctake back PNG\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marape government asserts that the\nnon-renewal of the special mining licence stems from a desire to secure a\nbetter deal for the landowners and the government. Barrick (Niugini) Gold has\nresponded by closing up all operations and abandoning the site. A deployment of\n100\nPNG Defence Force<\/a> personnel has been sent to Porgera to provide security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repatriation concerns are rising in the region<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are rising concerns among Pacific\nisland citizens who are unable to return to their home countries. With borders\nclosed, and flights cancelled, many Pacific islanders are unable to return to\ntheir families. They are calling on their governments to do more to assist\nthem. Not only are they dealing with anxiety caused by being separated from\ntheir families, but they are also incurring\nsignificant costs<\/a> in many cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government of Vanuatu has answered\ncriticisms for failure to repatriate citizens, including seasonal workers who\nwant to return from Australia and New Zealand. The government asserts that more\nis needed in terms of the ability to test returning citizens before they board\nflights before repatriations can take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacific Humanitarian Pathway-COVID-19 commits governments of Pacific Islands Forum members to afford services to residents of other member countries as they would to their own citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
