Papua New Guinea puts capital under state of emergency after deadly riots
Soldiers and police patrolling streets where witnesses say quiet has replaced looting and chaos that reportedly left at least 16 people dead
Soldiers and police patrolled Port Moresby on Friday a day after Papua New Guinea declared a state of emergency in the capital in response to rioting and other violence in which at least 16 people are reported to have died.
The prime minister, James Marape, declared a 14-day state of emergency, suspending several officials and putting more than 1,000 soldiers on standby, after a police and public sector protest over pay on Wednesday descended into rioting and looting.
