; DWU Alumni rally behind the university's 30th Anniversary celebrations

************************

The spirit of “Pasin Diwai” is being celebrated far beyond the classrooms of Divine Word University, as former students across Papua New Guinea return to their alma mater to mark its 30th anniversary.

For generations of graduates, DWU has been more than a place of learning. It has become a lifelong community built on friendship, service, professionalism and a commitment to giving back.

That bond is now being demonstrated through the university’s provincial alumni chapters, which continue to support DWU and strengthen its relationship with former students.

The DWU Alumni Association was established to foster participation in university activities, promote DWU and assist the institution through fundraising. Its provincial chapters include Madang, East New Britain and Port Moresby, with others developing across the country.

; MULITAKA LANDSLIDE VICTIMS DEMAND ANSWERS THROUGH PEACEFUL PROTEST

********************************

FRUSTRATIONS over the slow progress of the Mulitaka resettlement program spilled onto the streets of Wabag on Friday, as hundreds of landslide survivors staged a peaceful protest, demanding accountability over millions of kina donated for relief and resettlement following the country’s worst natural disaster.

Carrying a petition and place cards, the affected people, community leaders and representatives of the Mulitaka Resettlement Authority marched peacefully through Wabag town intending to present their petition to the Enga Provincial Executive Council. However, no provincial officials at the Enga Provincial Headquarters were available to receive their petition. The group handed the petition to Enga Provincial Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Steven Harris, for onward delivery to the relevant authorities.

The protest was organised after repeated requests by the Mulitaka Resettlement Authority for financial and physical reports on disaster donations allegedly went unanswered by the Enga Provincial authorities.
A Community Leader, Willie Ipua said the demonstration reflected the growing frustration of families who have spent more than two years waiting for permanent resettlement while seeking transparency over funds donated in their name.

Speaking on behalf of the displaced communities, Mr Ipua said the victims had remained patient but believed the time had come for authorities to account for every kina and every item donated by governments, businesses, churches, schools, humanitarian organisations and international partners following the devastating Mulitaka landslide.

“Our people have suffered enough. We are only asking for transparency, accountability and proper governance so the people affected by this tragedy can finally rebuild their lives,” he said.

The petition dated July 30, 2026, and signed by community leaders and members of the Mulitaka Resettlement Authority, contains two major demands directed at both the Enga Provincial Government and the Mulitaka Resettlement Authority Board.
