		Chan responded by removing Singirok as army chief but military officers and troops openly defied his orders and continued to detain the Sandline employees.
		Chan was installed in 1994 with Australian backing, after the previous prime minister, Paias Wingti, adopted a "look north" policy, turning to investors from Malaysia and elsewhere in Asia.
		Business interests associated with Chan are known to have used Jardine Fleming to purchase a stake in Orogen, the company which holds the PNG government's mining and oil interests.

	CNN - Military crisis ends in Papua New Guinea - March 18, 1997
		PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (CNN) -- Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Sir Julius Chan said Tuesday that he had quashed an attempted coup against his government, and threatened to arrest the military chief who challenged his rule.
		Singirok objected to Chan's use of mercenary soldiers to quell a secessionist rebellion on the island province of Bougainville.
		Chan called Singirok's action one of the country's worst political crises, and said the general was "guilty of gross insubordination bordering on treason." Chan, who faces a national election in June, also speculated that Singirok had "a number of political agendas" in play.

	PNG-Bougainville: The origins of the conflict (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Chan's first attempt to negotiate a comprehensive solution with the secessionists at the Arawa Peace Conference in October 1994 was not a resounding success, despite agreeing to their request for the United Nations to be present and cajoling the Australians into funding a small regional peacekeeping force.
		This humiliation was further compounded in September when 12 PNGDF soldiers were killed and a further five taken hostage at their camp at Kangu beach in south Bougainville and a month later, in October, when Theodore Miriung was assassinated by elements of the military using a vehicle disguised as an ambulance.
		Instead, Spicer's attempts to wrest control of Bougainville from its own people and its destiny was to spell the political ruin of Julius Chan and with that, the end of efforts to resolve the crisis militarily; the beginnings of real negotiations for peace, nine years after Francis Ona first threw down the gauntlet.

		In face of the mutiny, Chan "suspended" the mercenary operation March 20 "for two weeks." Events continued to outpace his attempts to save his government's skin, however, as mutinous troops escorted most of the mercenaries to the airport, where they were expelled March 21.
		Singirok made further allegations that Chan, a multimillionaire, was using the situation to further line his own pockets.
		On March 21, Singirok renewed his demands that Chan resign - this time by March 25, before Parliament sits again -and that a caretaker government be appointed until the elections, already set for June.

		It was believed that Chan was trying to pay for the $36 million contract with Sandline illegally and heavy trading in the near-defunct Bougainville Copper Ltd was revealed on the Australian Stock Exchange (see PNG and Private Armies in Bougainville).
		Prime Minister Chan has acknowledged "The timing of making that decision without taking into consideration the onslaught from our neighbours was inappropriate", but rejected demands that he resign.
		At the time of writing riots and looting have reportedly broken out on the streets of the capital, in the wake of the breakdown in relations between the government and military, and tensions are rising between police trying to maintain control and troops loyal to Singarok.

		Chan refused to resign, and the same day, sacked Singirok as Commander of the PNGDF, replacing him with the controversial Colonel Alfred Aikung.
		In the days that followed, the mercenaries were deported, the parliament was surrounded, and Chan, Ijape and Haiveta were all forced to stand down.
		Chan stood again at the following election, but in the wake of the affair and Singirok's allegations, not only lost power, but also his seat in parliament.

		So Defense Force chief Brig.-Gen. Jerry Singirok's ultimatum to PM Julius Chan - "I cannot go to Bougainville with an arsenal of arms and blow up Bougainville and tell the people what I have done" - was an internal government power-skirmish, not the cry of an anguished humanitarian.

		The Prime Minister Sir Julius Chan appeared to accept the line that a surgical strike against the secessionist leadership could resolve the issue, and formally ended the ceasefire.
		Such investment would appear foolhardy, given at least 10 years operation would be needed to recover the restart costs of $500 million and the vulnerability to sabotage and attack of the mine's 25 km long infrastructure.
		Sir Julius appears now to have lost leverage with Australia, although Australia's input may have helped him on Thursday to decide to concede Singirok's demand for an inquiry into the Sandline deal.
