Last week, exactly on 16th July 2024 July Indonesian criminal military killed three West Papuan civilian then covering up their lies whole entire Indonesian coloniser mainstream media before the Indonesian war criminal president Jokowi visit to West Papua yesterday to sell out West Papuan resources to inverstor asing before handing over power to the former bloods killer Prabowo Subianto.
The brutal killing of three Papuan civilians in Puncak Jaya shows that occupied West Papua is a ticking time bomb, and under Indonesian President-elect, Prabowo Subianto could become another East Timor.
The names of the victims were Tonda Wanimbo, Dominus Enumbi, and Murib Government. Their murders were followed by riots in Puncak Jaya, as enraged indigenous residents protested in front of the local police station and set fire to police cars. This incident is merely the most recent example of Indonesiaβs military and business strategy in West Papua. Indonesia deliberately creates escalations to justify deploying more troops, particularly in mineral-rich areas, causing our people to scatter and allowing international corporations to exploit the empty land β starting the cycle of bloodshed all over again.
It is not a coincidence that over 4500 Indonesian troops have recently been deployed to Paniai, one of the centres of West Papuan resistance. Over 100,000 West Papuans have been displaced since 2018, while recent figures show more than 76,000 Papuans remain internally displaced, living as refugees in the bush. Indonesia wants our land and our resources, not our people.
:: Additional note ,
Prabowo rose through the ranks of Indonesiaβs military, ultimately playing a key role in the response to pro-democracy protests in May 1998. Prabowo was allegedly involved in kidnapping, torturing, and killing activists who called for Suharto to resign.
Heβs also been accused of inciting violence against Chinese-Indonesians, leading to the deaths of four students in the capital Jakarta.
