Almost ten years of separatist civil war in Papua New Guinea came to an uneasy end in 1997 with the signing of a truce at the Burnham barracks in New Zealand. New Zealand subsequently led a Truce Monitoring Group (TMG) into Bougainville, which was replaced by the Australian-led Peace Monitoring Group (PMG) in May 1998.
