Well... To say that this is a bit extreme would be an understatement. Thoughts?

Women in Papua New Guinea's Highland region are killing their male babies to end a tribal war that has gone on for more than 20 years.

WOMEN in Papua New Guinea's Highland region are killing their male babies to end a tribal war that has gone on for more than 20 years.

Two women from the Eastern Highlands spoke of the slaughter to PNG's National newspaper during a three-day peace and reconciliation course in the region's capital of Goroka.

Rona Luke and Kipiyona Belas, from two warring tribes, said male infanticide reduced the cyclical payback violence infamous in Highlands tribal fights.

If women stopped producing males, their tribe's stock would go down and this would force the men to end their fight, the women said.

"All the womenfolk agreed to have all babies born killed because they have had enough of men engaging in tribal conflicts and bringing misery to them," Ms Luke said.

The women could not give a figure on how many male babies had been killed.

Ms Belas said getting food was hard as husbands kept fighting and mothers and children were left to fend for themselves.

Come now, Xodian. Didn't you know that men running the world has created all the horrors in it? Women are all peaceful, loving beings and would solve all our problems in a snap. Estrogen, ftw!

That kind of thinking makes me wanna hurl, too, no matter where it turns up.

Those poor children. It's never their fault but they always end up paying for someone else's problems. First it was the girls in China, now its the boys in Papau New Guinea. Soon, someone's going to get the genius idea to kill off all babies to reduce over-population, starvation, poverty, etc. Oh, no, wait. That's already been thought up.

*Sigh* and unfortunately Papa New Guinea happens to be a member of UN yet no action either by the salvation army or any of the other aid organizations has been taken in this accord.

[SARCASAM] But I am sure the rights of parents to keep their child and raise them as they see fit (even if it means the child might be facing certain doom) trumps the actual welfare of the child in question.[/SARCASAM]
