El 1 de agosto de 2006, el gobierno de Papúa Nueva Guinea declaró el estado de emergencia en la región de las Tierras Altas del Sur del país. Según el primer ministro, Michael Somare, se desplegaron tropas para restaurar "la ley, el orden y el buen gobierno" en la región, tras acusaciones de corrupción, robo y uso indebido de edificios gubernamentales a manos del gobierno regional.

Al ser una región rica en recursos energéticos, las Tierras Altas del Sur estaban en el centro de los planes para construir un gasoducto con el que bombear gas natural a Queensland, en el norte de Australia. El proyecto habría generado ingresos muy necesarios para Papúa Nueva Guinea y, como se creía que la inestabilidad en la región podría poner en peligro el proyecto, el gobierno nacional decidió intervenir declarando el estado de emergencia. La medida fue apoyada por el Parlamento, aunque se dirigieron algunas críticas al gobierno por restringir el acceso de la prensa a la región, mientras estaba en vigor el estado de emergencia. Posteriormente, las empresas implicadas optaron por el actual proyecto PNG Gas, que cuenta con instalaciones de exportación fuera de Port Moresby y que es operado por Esso Highlands, una subsidiaria de Exxon Mobil Corporation.
