Sir Micheal Somare swore in his affidavit in the US class Action, Sarei et Ors v Rio Tinto in 2011:
"Because of Rio Tinto's financial influence in PNG, the company controlled the Government. The Government of PNG followed Rio Tinto’s instructions and carried out its requests. BCL was also directly involved in the military operations on Bougainville, and it played an active role. BCL supplied helicopters, which were used as gunships, the pilots, troop transportation, fuel, and troop barracks."
