巴布亚新几内亚继续发生反华暴乱

顾凯

继上月巴布亚新几内亚爆发反华暴乱后，在其北方省省府波蓬代塔市再次掀起针对中国人的抢劫狂潮。当地媒体《信使邮报》6月29日报道：上周五（6月26日），有数百名暴徒疯狂抢劫，把亚洲人（80%是中国人）的商店洗劫一空，并砸了银行储蓄所和航空公司办事处。据目击者叙述，暴徒在川岛志明一伙的登报宣传下，把目前的经济困境归结与中国人的商业经营，发起了暴乱。暴徒打伤了数人（不清楚是否有中国人在内），当伤员送到市总医院时，暴徒追杀到医院，砸烂了医生的救护车，几乎把医生也打伤了！到了下午，更多土著参加了暴乱。而警察竟无所行动。然而，一年半前，正是我们中国人对这伙土著伸出援助之手。有关暴乱的原始报道：
Bank smashed and Asian shops looted in Oro（网站：postcourier. com.pg/20090629/mohome.htm）
Hundreds of people went on a rampage in Popondetta on Friday and looted Asian-owned shops in the town.Reports reaching the Post Courier last night say the rioters smashed the Bank South Pacific branch, the Air Niugini office and emptied the six Asian-owned shops in the town at mid-day.The rampage and looting was sparked off by oil palm growers who had come into town to collect their money but were turned away by the bank.The farmers could not be paid because the bank could not clear the cheque paid in by the Higaturu Oil Palm Company because of a communication problem that day.The reports say the frustrated oil palm growers smashed the windows and the situation turned ugly from there when settlers living on the outskirts of the town and the public joined in.The reports say the police were unable to do anything because they were outnumbered.The eyewitness said several people were treated at the Popondetta General Hospital for injuries sustained during the rampage. The reports said that one doctor vehicle was smashed and he was nearly injured in the riot.The reports said BSP bank remained closed for the rest of Friday and it is understood, the bank will be closed this week until further notice from headquarters.
