Join Samson Lardy Anyenini and his abled panellists as they delve into issues that made headlines this week on current affairs show, ‘Newsfile’.

Up for discussion today are matters related to the renewed Chereponi clashes.

The security situation in conflict-ravaged Chereponi and Saboba remains fluid days after security authorities called on feuding factions to cease fire.

Defence Minister, Dominic Nitiwul, has urged the factions to lay down their arms but sporadic fighting continues, claiming lives and displacing hundreds of women and children.

To forestall further clashes, a heavy team of police and military personnel have been deployed to the township. The security forces are expected to clamp down on armed groups that attack residents of rival towns.
