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.”

Sally Sara reports on a war with no end in sight.

Low taxes have drawn many foreign companies to Mauritius and account for a huge portion of the country's $16 billion GDP. Mauritius is one of Africa's richest countries on per capita basis. However Mauritius long been shadowed by financial secrecy, with the island’s government overseeing LEGAL but QUESTIONABLE processes that have allowed global companies to siphon millions of tax dollars away from other African nations.

Apparently the Sahara has not always been a searing wilderness with little to zero rainfall but was once a vast savanna, reminiscent of grasslands of the Serengeti. And I don’t mean just a few years of extra showers of rain, I mean a climate that was so wet for so long that humans and animals made themselves at home in the Sahara. The mystery therefore is HOW and WHEN this lush grassland turned into the barren wasteland we see today.

I met Samson Ogbole (who invented SOILLESS FARMING in Nigeria) at the YPard Cafe event I attended with my friend Yomi on Saturday 26th June 2018, he spoke passionately about soil-less farming and showed us video proof of farms he had and still working on. I was inspired by his presentation and the level of work he is doing in the Agric sector in Nigeria, so I decided there and then to interview him.

Samson is the CEO of PS Nutrac and has also set up quite a number of commercial farms across Africa. (All third-party videos were provided by Samson Ogbole)
