Armed Rebels guarding the street to the Panguna Copper Mine on the Island of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. The mine closed in 1989 as a result of sabotage by the Bougainville Revolutionary Army and associated forces which sought Bougainville's secession from Papua New Guinea and an end to the mining on environmental grounds.
