<p>A Dani tribesman prepares to attack the Damal tribe during inter-tribal wars in the village of Old Kwaki in Timika, Indonesia's Papua province January 6, 2010. The inter-tribal war started because the Damal tribe was not willing to pay a fine in compensation for a rape that Dani tribesmen suspected was committed by a Damal tribe member. One person died and 50 were injured in the attack, a police officer said. REUTERS/Muhammad Yamin </p>
