  • This year marks a pivotal moment as Bougainville can officially claim its independence under a previous agreement with Papua New Guinea (PNG).
  • A referendum held in 2019 revealed overwhelming support for independence, with 97.7% of votes favoring the move.
  • However, challenges persist, including a lack of political commitment from PNG and ongoing economic difficulties faced by Bougainville.
  • Toroama is laying the groundwork for independence, involving infrastructure and economic development, while seeking to reopen the Panguna mine to support sustainability.
