  • 1 Franco Zocca: APPENDIX: LIFE EXCURSUS of MR BELDEN
    Franco Zocca: APPENDIX: LIFE EXCURSUS OF MR BELDEN NORMAN NAMAH Belden Norman Namah, the fourth of five children, was born on December 30st 1969 in Somboi Village in Bewani area, south of Vanimo. Allegedly his family was originally from Krisa. His father was a SDA pastor, who brought up his children in a strong Christian way. After completing High School in Vanimo in 1985-86 and Sogeri National School in 1987-88, the young Namah joined the PNG Defence Force and quickly rose to the grade of captain. In that capacity he was involved in operation in Bougainville starting in 1993 till 1997. - In March 1997 he played a key part in the Operesen Rausim Kwik (Quick Chase Out Operation) against the Sandline m ercenaries, who were due to take over Bougainville. In July of the same year he was involved with three other officers in an action to obtain by the newly appointed Prime Minister Bill Skate the disbandment of the Special Operation Group, to which the military was hostile. That action was considered a sort of mutiny and Namah with two other fellow officers was tried, convicted and jailed for six years. The following is how he describes the episode: In 1997 when Sir Julius Chan’s government contracted the Sandline mercenaries to wipe out the entire Bougainville people, I demanded Sir Julius to step down and deported the mercenaries from Papua New Guinea. I knew the consequences… For my country I served six and a half years in prison for which I have never asked the people of Bougainville for anything or claimed credit for my actions (quoted by Post Courier May 28 page 3) - However, in another interview with John Eggins during the third episode of the TV program Election Forum, he gave a different version of the imprisonment story: “I was arrested in 1997 and sentenced to 6 and half years in prison with three other companions.
