Papua New Guinea PM's anger over Biden insinuation his uncle was eaten by cannibals there
Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
PAPUA New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape called on Washington to stop insulting his country with racial stereotypes today, after US President Joe Biden insinuated his uncle had been eaten by cannibals there.
Mr Marape also said the US should help clean the wreckage of war, including unexploded bombs, from Papua New Guinea’s forests.
The US leader said last week that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was shot down over Papua New Guinea in World War II.
