FOUR warring tribes in the Kerowaghi district of Chimbu province will surrender their guns on Saturday to end a long tribal fight.
This is after the youths from the warring tribes came together to end the fight which flared up during the 2012 national general elections.
The youths will also surrender marijuana and other illicit items in the ceremony to mark peace in the area. The tribes include Damba, Kombukane, Mingaku and KumanKane.
This program is facilitated by pastors from all the Christian churches in the Kerowaghi together with Chimbu and Jiwaka Police.
One pastor said the youths from the affected area have negotiated peace with their leaders themselves and have agreed to surrender guns and marijuana.
Many people died including a 16 year old girl who was burnt alive inside a house.
The pastors of the church who are facilitating the gun surrender will lead the program.
