The vocal first term parliamentarian made this comment following the National Executive Council decision to deploy armed disciplinary personnel to curb law and order problems in Hela Province.
The province is home to the multi-billion kina LNG Project operated by ExxonMobil.
Police and PNGDF soldiers are expected to be deployed next week.
“The deployment of military troops to Hela Province is reminiscent of tragic events that unfolded about 28 years ago that sparked off a crisis and left more than 20,000 Papua New Guineans dead,” Juffa said.
