Malaita Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Michael Ramosaea said the festive season – Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 – was the most peaceful celebrations Malaita province has seen in a long time.
He said it also reflects a substantial change in the mindset of the people, recalling that in previous years, there would be numerous reports of disturbances and violence during the festive season.
“This festive season, there has been no fighting or killings; it is much safer and more peaceful.
“This festive season, we are fortunate that there are only minor reports received from a few corners of our province.
“In every festive season in previous years, we hardly missed hearing reports of killings and violence,” he said.
He encourages Malaitans to maintain this civil mindset.
He acknowledged community leaders, chiefs and parents for working together with the police to ensure peaceful celebrations.
He also encouraged them to continue working with the police throughout 2026.
“I want to thank the community leaders, chiefs, and parents for continuing to work with the police to maintain peace and harmony in our rural communities,” he said.
