Biden’s tale of cannibals in Papua New Guinea met with bemusement and criticism: The US president said his uncle 'got shot down in New Guinea' ...
irishexaminer.com/world/arid-41378080.html
Quick Glance: Biden's Cannibal Story Causes Confusion in Papua New Guinea
- Joe Biden's claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during World War Two has sparked confusion and criticism in the country.
- Official war records state that Finnegan died in a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean, with no mention of cannibalism or the plane being shot down.
- Analysts in Papua New Guinea consider Biden's comments unsubstantiated and poorly judged, especially as the US aims to strengthen ties with the country and counter Chinese influence in the region.
- Some residents were simply baffled by the remarks, while others found them unhelpful and damaging to Papua New Guinea's reputation, particularly after Biden cancelled a planned trip to the country last year.

Quick Glance: Volcanic Activity in Indonesia: Mount Ruang Erupts
- On Tuesday, the eruption of Mount Ruang in Indonesia resulted in the expulsion of hot lava and ash thousands of meters into the night sky, leading to the evacuation of numerous individuals in North Sulawesi province.

- Situated in the notorious Ring of Fire, Mount Ruang is a stratovolcano where seismic plates beneath the Pacific Ocean surface collide, causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
- Prior to the Mount Ruang eruption, more than 300 volcanic earthquakes were recorded, with the reason behind the eruption timing remaining uncertain.
