Tribal violence over Papua New Guinea mines kills at least 20: UN
Briefly

"The violence has spiralled after an attack in August on a landowner in the area by unauthorised miners... 300 shots had been fired the previous day."
"Mate Bagossy, the UN's humanitarian adviser... the death toll from the intensifying tribal conflict had reached at least 20 on Sunday but was likely up to 50 people."
"Put simply, this means if you raise a weapon in a public place or threaten another person, you will be shot," Manning said in a statement.
According to police, unauthorised miners from the Sakar clan have been squatting on land owned by their Piande rivals.
