The Liberation Army also wants to close the operations of foreign companies that are exploiting Papua's resources.

Major General Telenggen specifically mentioned the oil and gas multi-national BP with its gas project in Bintuni Bay, and the US mining giant Freeport which runs the massive Grasberg gold and copper mine in Mimika.

The Freeport mine, which is one of Indonesia's largest single sources of revenue, has long been the subject of West Papuan grievances over environmental and social impacts.

As well, Papuans have complained about not being consulted over the control of Freeport, and about not gaining any benefit from its lucrative operations.

WPNLA fight Against Colonialism of Indonesia in our ancestor Land of West Papua New Guinea

Just north of Australia a secret war is being fought. West Papuan independence fighters and Indonesian security forces are involved in a protracted and bloody battle over the issue of Papuan independence.

The conflict escalated after young West Papuan fighters killed Indonesian road workers building a highway into Papua’s central highlands.

The Indonesia government hit back hard, deploying hundreds of police and military who attacked the region in an effort to root out the rebels.

Last year mass protests broke out, with civil resistance leaders from in and outside West Papua calling for freedom from Indonesia.

With foreign media largely shut out, the story of this unfolding humanitarian disaster remains untold.

Hundreds have died and local officials estimate that over 40 000 people have been displaced. There are allegations of torture and human rights abuses.

Foreign Correspondent has been able to report from inside the conflict zone, gaining access to exclusive pictures of the recent unrest and speaking to eyewitnesses of the violence.

“I have to yell out to the world…because if I don’t, we’re going to be weaker and the indigenous people will be wiped out ”, says one West Papuan highlander who’s looking after children orphaned in the recent fighting.

“We will not retreat. We will not run. We will fight until recognition dawns ” , says a member of West Papua’s young guerrilla force whose ranks include teenagers orphaned in the ongoing conflict.

“Dialogue is needed but dialogue which is constructive”, says Indonesia’s former Security Minister. “We have closed the door for dialogue on a referendum. No dialogue for independence.”

Burkina Faso is a special country; one that is characterized not by its economy or its nature, but by the people that inhabit it. Diversity is unequivocally Burkina Faso’s strong suite as difference takes place in co-existence. What makes this interesting for an architect is that the large variety of ethnic groups is paired with the creativity portrayed in the spatial environment.

Understanding the natural, cultural and social context in which Burkinabé citizens live will provide us with the tools to design better, more affordable and more culturally sensitive housing solutions. Comprehending their daily life is of high importance if the urbanizing population is to accept, apply, use and create new, more effective housing typologies.

This documentary shows the strength local architecture has and the inevitable change that the country is facing. Fusing both the vernacular and an African modernity offers viable solutions to the spatial development of the country’s urban growth.
I hope you enjoy it!
