At Korona logging base on San Jorge island in Solomon Islands’ Isabel province, the logging machinery lay quiet.
Except for the movement of three local security guards, the silence in this once bustling log pond was deafening.
“The workers have gone home,” Eric Gnokro, a chief in the area who negotiated my entry into this tightly guarded logging worker’s camp, said.
“There’s a dispute going on so work has stopped,” he added.
