West Papua Report October 2009 |

Sonntag, 11. Oktober 2009 |
Famine continues to kill villagers in a broad swath of the Papuan
hinterland. The Government response to the crisis has been to deny
that famine is occurring and to provide inadequate assistance to
address what it contends is only an outbreak of disease. Respected
academics have launched a public discussion of the impact of
Indonesia's four-plus decades of control in West Papua and whether its
policies there constitute genocide. Papuans continue to call for an
internationally mediated, senior-level dialogue with Jakarta about West
Papua's past and its future. Demonstrators have urged the release of
Papuans arrested for peaceful political dissent. Meanwhile, other
activists have been arrested or are facing arrest. An international
firm, collaborating with an Indonesian company, has announced plans to
transform a vast area of forest near Merauke into wood chips. A South
Korean daily has published an account of West Papua's annexation by
Indonesia which it describes as a "betrayal" of the Papuans by the
international community. Additional evidence has surfaced of the human
cost of the Indonesian military's continuing "sweep" operations in the
Papuan hinterlands. Confusion reigns in Indonesia's response to months
of attacks targeting the operations of PT Freeport and its personnel.

Decolonisation and the Right to Self-Determination in West Papua
Pieter Drooglever
This important study introduces the history and people of West Papua,
tracing the origins of the international conflict surrounding their
struggle for self-determination following the Second World War. Based
on three decades of exhaustive research and focusing particular
attention on the sham referendum of 1969 - which Indonesia dubbed "The
Act of Free Choice’, an election rigged to legitimize Indonesian
control over West Papua - Droogleever highlights the continuing impact
of this injustice on Indonesia’s most underdeveloped and
poverty-stricken province.
Pieter Droogleever was the lead researcher on a government-sponsored,
27-year study of the decolonisation of Indonesia at the Institute of
Netherlands History at The Hague. He also served as chairman of the
historical committee for Indonesian Studies, and was a lecturer in
Indonesian History at the University of Nymegen, where he held the L.
J. Rogier chair.

A Report on the violent conflict in the nation of Papua during the
period of the general election for the legislature and presidency in
April, May, June 2009)
For those who love and fight for Justice for the People of Papua who I
respect, this is an opportunity for the Working Team for National
Consensus to consider the events of the period of the general election
for the legislature (9th April) and presidency on the 8th July 2009. In
line with our experience and writings during these events of violence
in these last four months of continuous rising disasters, beginning
with messages coming out of the threat of violence and terror via SMS
messages, the appearance of terrifying and intimidating messages over
the media, arbitrary arrests, imprisonment by the armed forces of
civilians, the suppression of all our rights: freedom, democracy, human
and legal rights; inhuman shootings, attacks by the armed forces
whether groups were or were not known to be from the TPN/OPM; plane
crashes; searching offices and citizens’ houses, especially those
suspected of flying the Bintang Kejora flag when the plane crashed in
Papua. Nearly all the time during this period some of these things were
happening.
