Taipei, Taiwan – Solomon Islands’ opposition leader Matthew Wale has called on the country’s police commissioner to “come clean” about whether China secretly shipped genuine firearms to Honiara last year after Al Jazeera uncovered new details about the shipment.
Last week, Al Jazeera revealed that at the time of the shipment in March 2022, United States diplomats believed the firearms were in fact real pistols and rifles and not “replicas” intended for training purposes as claimed by the government.
