Inside Indonesia's Secret War for West Papua | Foreign Correspondent 12 May 2020
Inside Indonesia's Secret War for West Papua | Foreign Correspondent 12 May 2020 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 32 Views • 5 years ago

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.

33 years of Indonesian rule have resulted in the deaths of 100,000 West Papuans. The Indonesian government claims that the actions of the West Papuan Freedom movement (the OPM) force it to resort to violence. However, the OPM alleges that the military itself is orchestrating acts of terror, such as the recent murder of two American school teachers, in an attempt to justify further intervention.

Inside Your DNA: Reconnecting to Our Cultural Spirit - Ep 26 Baka Omubo 32 Views • 10 months ago

Join us for a very special conversation as we take a deeper look at the nature of African spirituality—not as religion, but as science, worldview, and cultural technology.

Featuring legendary author and teacher Mama Marimba Ani, author of Let the Circle Be Unbroken and Yurugu, we explore the critical role African spiritual systems play in reconnecting people of African descent to their history, identity, and destiny.

This episode is a spiritual call to consciousness in a time of global chaos, cultural displacement, and ancestral reawakening. Why is it important now? And how do we continue to connect to the true Spirit of our African culture.

You can find the books discussed and written Mama Marimba Ani at
