CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Gang violence that is tearing apart a remote indigenous community in northern Australia has focused attention on the shocking state of many Aboriginal families' lives.
In Wadeye, a former Roman Catholic Church mission of 2,500 Aborigines, hundreds have fled their homes to escape marauding Aboriginal gangs toting spears, crowbars and machetes.
"It's been going on for years," Tobias Marrumbu, a 22-year-old member of the Evil Warriors gang, said Wednesday in a telephone interview.
