Early interactions between Solomon Islanders and the global economic system, such as through early explorers, labour recruiters, traders, planters, missionaries, and colonial administrators left a negative impression on many locals.
As a result, Solomon Islanders often view with scepticism any development that involves their customary land. In the current era, this presents development challenges.
One way to address this scepticism is to establish development projects that understand and accommodate local customs. A good example of how such development projects can deliver both development and community benefits is the growth of palm oil plantations in Guadalcanal.
Over 100 unexploded bombs from World War II were recently discovered in the backyard of a home in Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands situated in the South Pacific. The 101 bombs are unexploded ordnances (UXO) are explosives that did not detonate during the intended period and still can pose risks wherever found.
This massive batch was discovered by a man who was digging a hole for a new septic system at his property situated in a residential enclave.
Soon after the discovery, the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) dispatched the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad. The 101 US 105 millimetre High Explosive Projectiles were safely recovered from the site.
