Description
Papua New Guinea's prime minister James Marape declares a 14-day state of emergency in the capital, Port Moresby, after 15 people were killed in riots as crowds looted and burnt shops. "There was evidence of organised rioting" says Marape, who adds that "a full administrative, as well as a criminal investigation, will take place". Images also show burnt-out vehicles and buildings in the aftermath of the unrest, which erupted in Port Moresby on Wednesday evening after a group of soldiers, police officers and prison guards launched protests against the government.
