Bougainville, genoemd naar de Franse ontdekkingsreiziger Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, is een eiland in de Grote Oceaan. Het eiland is, met een oppervlakte van 8.800 km2, het grootste eiland van de Noordelijke Salomonseilanden, maar het behoort staatkundig bij Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea. Er leefden in 2000 175.160 mensen op het eiland. De hoofdstad is Arawa. Tussen 1989 en 1997 was op het eiland een bloedige burgeroorlog aan de gang tussen de lokale rebellengroep BRA (Bougainville Revolutionary Army), geleid door Francis Ona, en regeringstroepen. Naar schatting kwamen in deze oorlog 20.000 burgers om, vooral door acties van het regeringsleger, dit op een totale bevolking van 200.000 personen. In 1997 volgde een wapenstilstand, en in 1998 werd in Nieuw-Zeeland een voorlopig vredesakkoord getekend, gevolgd door een definitief vredesakkoord in 2001. Bougainville kreeg de status van autonome provincie en uiterlijk 2015 dient in een referendum de toekomst van het eiland bepaald te worden. uit: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bougainville_(eiland) Politically, Bougainville Island is the main island of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, part of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
