    At least 26 people HAVE BEEN killed in tribal fighting in the northern highlands of Papua New Guinea. The men were killed in an ambush in Enga Province. A report by one of the local newspaper said the violence took place on Sunday and was connected to a battle between two tribes. The Highlands area has long struggled with violence, but these killings are believed to be the worst in years. Escalating tribal conflict - often over the distribution of land and wealth - led to a three-month lockdown in Enga last July, during which police imposed a curfew and travel restrictions.
