Letters: Don't stereotype Papuans

The Jakarta Post Saturday, March 13, 2010 3:16 AM

I reckon those who speak on behalf of West Papuans never ever feel like the West Papuans themselves. Sometimes it is easier to judge a book by its cover.

I was brought up in West Papua as the "product" of interracial marriage (if I can say, since West Papuan is definitely a different race to Malay aka Indonesia) as a hybrid product and was brought up in two cultures. While based on my father's line I'm a non West-Papuan (Javanese indeed), from my physical appearance (more like one of the "mixed generation") I'm trapped somewhere in between.

Soundcheck and the Day of Action 2010
This weekend was Soundcheck's 10th birthday! Over 200 of you joined us for an action-packed weekend full of live music, workshops and speakers challenging us to go deeper in our journey with God and campaigning for justice! We also launched our new campaign, "Defend Peace: Disarm Tax", for an end to government support of the arms trade! On Monday 150 gathered in central London for a day of prophetic and political action. We repented for our nation's sins and covered a half-sized model of a tank in flowers and messages of peace outside DSO, the government's arms trading department. We then met 15 MPs in Parliament to get them on board with the campaign! [ Visit Website ]

Kopassus – tactical inside story of controversial elite force
Pacific Scoop:
Review – By Ezki Suyanto

At one point during Aceh’s nearly 35-year battle for autonomy from Indonesia, a woman approached an officer at a military post in the village of Trio.

The Acehnese woman alleged that she had been raped by a member of the Kopassus, also known as the Indonesian army’s Special Forces.

An investigation was launched into the matter. It was decided that the rape never took place. [ Visit Website ]

Issues: ‘How to deliver peace in troubled Papua’

March 1, p. 6

A series of threats and violence in the mining area of PT Freeport Indonesia is unlikely to cease despite the death of the Free Papua Movement (OPM) leader Kelly Kwalik, who was believed to be behind the terror in Papua. The Jan. 24 shooting was the 4th shooting incident in the last seven months, causing an increase in the security and military measures of the mining company.
