- James_Tanis abstract "James Tanis (born 1965?) is a politician in Papua New Guinea who was President of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville from 2009 to 2010. He was previously the Vice President of the Bougainville People's Congress.Tanis was raised in Panam Village in Lamane, on the border of South and Central Bougainville.Tanis' predecessor, John Tabinaman, took over as Acting President after Joseph Kabui died in office of a heart attack in June 2008. This led to a presidential election in November and December 2008. There were 14 candidates; Tanis was declared winner with a margin of 13,547 votes over second-runner Sam Akoitai. The election had a poor voter turnout which was reportedly contributed to by heavily armed road blocks, ongoing local disputes, and complaints by many Bougainvilleans that their names were not on election rolls. Tanis was sworn in on 6 January 2009.Experts have said that the election of the 43-year-old Tanis "represents a generational change" in Bougainville's leadership.The Bougainville independence movement began in the 1980s after Bougainville landowners closed the Panguna copper mine. In 1989, Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA) leaders proclaimed Bougainville independent from Papua New Guinea and established an interim government. A civil war consumed the island for the next decade as the BRA fought the Papua New Guinea military. Tanis is a former guerrilla and commander in the BRA. Tanis has been described as having been "once closely linked with the late separatist leader, Francis Ona." He later became "a key player in forging the 2001 peace agreement" following the Bougainvillean civil war. However, Bougainville remains plagued by infighting and tensions from years of conflict.Tanis was inaugurated as Bougainville's second elected President in a colorful swearing-in ceremony on 6 January 2009, as Bougainvilleans in traditional costumes travelled from all corners of the island to attend the ceremony in Arawa, Central Bougainville. The ceremony lasted most of the day and included indigenous music and dance. Before the inauguration, Tanis undertook a trip through some twenty fast flowing rivers and creeks before arriving safely in Arawa for the ceremony.Tanis will serve an interim term, completing Kabui's scheduled term before the presidential election of 2010. He has stated that his focus will be on promoting unity in the aftermath of the civil war. Because a new leader will be chosen in 2010, Tanis has said he is "not looking at achieving much" during his 20-month term in office, but will ensure peace prevails through reconciliation.Tanis appointed Ezekiel Massat as Vice President on 19 January 2009.".
