Moral concerns and appeal: Papuan People No Future In Indonesia

By: Rev. Sofyan Yoman Socratez *
The life and future of the people and the nation of Papua in Indonesia is very alarming. Papuan people have no future in Indonesia. Papuan people continue to be destroyed and eliminated over their ancestral lands. Papuan people in danger of the threat. There are several fundamental reasons.
First, the Special Autonomy for the Papua people declared to have failed miserably on many. Lane X as a nobleman and statesman with impeccable honest and give conclusions failure of the Indonesian government to build Papua for 50 years from May 1 1963 to 2013. "Special Autonomy has failed welfare of the people of Papua. Human rights violations and state violence in Papua. State is present in Papua in the form of military forces. Conflicts in Papua today, not the conflict, but the conflict between the government and society vertically. Indonesia failed to clicking the right-Indonesia-Papua ". (Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta, May 15, 2013).
Four pillars of life Papuan People like: economy, education, health and cultural values ​​indigo really dihanhancurkan and very alarming.
Economics ruled by the Indonesian and Papuan People temporarily knocked out and impoverished. There is no intention to favor both the Indonesian government and the Papuan People build a good program. Papuan people to sell their produce outside and edge-edge-store Big Shop, Mall-Mall is owned by the people of Indonesia. All business centers dikusai by the people of Indonesia. Papuan People poverty in the economy seen naked in front of us all.
In many areas of school education and teacher vacancy occurs school age children neglected. Development in the field of education in Papua, especially in those parts of the new expansion of the district is very alarming. A process of killing and destruction in the field of education with a systematic and structured.
In the field of health for Indigenous Papuans are very sad. Papuan People deaths occur every day. Deaths increased sharply Papuan People of all ages and most are youth and students from various universities. Papuan People seem mortality to levels that are not normal. Malnutrition rising sharply. There has been no serious efforts from the government of Indonesia to improve the health care pro-Papuan People.
Cultural values ​​of Indigenous Papuans have been destroyed by the Indonesian Government. Such as the Papuan Indigenous language is never taught in schools as the language of instruction and also no Special Program to preserve and protect local languages ​​Papuan People. In the field of art carvings and culture of Indigenous Papuans never got the protection and guidance of the Government of Indonesia. Indonesian people from outside come just exploit all cultural values ​​and made an object of trade and business that benefit themselves. Self-esteem and dignity of Indigenous Papuan truly humbled.
Second, the Unit for the Acceleration of Development of Papua and West Papua (UP4B) there are three objectives: (1) the Indonesian government efforts to avoid and hide from the failure of Special Autonomy. (2) UP4B also be land for the generals of the military and police who have retired . (3) UP4B an Indonesian government lies to the people of Papua, the Indonesian people and the international community.
Third, Plus Special Autonomy (Autonomy Plus) is the biggest lie Indonesian government against the people of Papua, the Indonesian people and the international community. Indeed, the Government of Indonesia for 50 years has failed to build and have failed right clicking-Indonesia-Papua Orang Asli. In fact, the Government of Indonesia for 50 years with resounding success and smash and destroy the future of Indigenous Papuans in various fields. Human beings were slaughtered like animals and game animals in the name of national security and the common good with the jargon of Homeland fixed price.
Fourth, the state Crime and Indonesian security forces systematically, structured, widespread and persistent as a reflection of the policy of degenerative politics (cripple, crush, destroy, scatter, aggravate,) which according to Nugroho (The Jakarta Post July 10, 2012) is carried out by the Republic of Indonesia in Papua for 50 years since 1961.
Fifth, freedom and independence of Indigenous Papuan really deprived, silenced and destroyed. For example:
(1) During the Tito Karnavian becomes chief of police in Papua, the whole freedom of expression and public expression of the people and the nation of Papua completely silenced and destroyed. Indigenous Papuans were overwhelmed and did not have rights over their ancestral lands. Papuan people made like a guest and more like animals off their ancestral lands by outsiders who come occupy and colonize.
(2) The violence and crimes against kemenusiaan being conducted by Indonesian security forces. TNI members killed a woman named Arlince Tabuni (12 years) on July 1, 2013 in Popome, Tiom, Lanny Jaya regency, Papua.
(3) On July 17 to 19 at the Hotel Sahid Jayapura, Papua, Papua Chamber Conference held (KDP) for the first time nearly 11 people who attended the Minister of the Republic of Indonesia. Participants from all over the Papuan People about 300 people. Conference participants were almost 100% Indigenous Papuans are prohibited and not allowed to express opinions and there is no room question and answer. Conference participants serve as human beings do not have a doll that your mind and heart. Very embarrassing incident in an open forum seminar. Events are particularly degrading and honor Papuan People.
(4) Papua into place and residential occupation of TNI and the National Police and Indonesian immigrants. Example: Everywhere, in public places, in the Mall-Mall, Super Market, at the Airport, at Terminal Taxi / Car / Bus, in the invisible plane Papuan People.
The proposed solution as a moral appeal of the leadership of the Church:
Judging from the brief description of reality was, to rescue viability and future of the people of the nation of Papua from extinction, the Indonesian Government is fitting considering the three solutions proposed as a moral appeal below. Although the moral appeal is somewhat sensitive, hard and heavy, but for the sake of humanity, the Government of Indonesia to stop the various forms of crimes and lies against Indigenous Papuans. Because, it is clear and certain: Indigenous Papuans have no future in Indonesia.
1. Indonesian government to release all political prisoners in Papua unconditionally.
2. Indonesian government gave permission to foreign journalists to Papua.
3. Indonesian government gave permission to enter the UN Special Rapporteur on Papua.
4. Indonesian government to open a peaceful dialogue, honest and equal between the Indonesian government and Papuan representatives 5 people were selected and formally established through the Papuan Peace Conference 5 to 7 July 2011, namely: (Rex Rumakiek, John Ondowame, Benny Wenda, Leoni Tanggahma, Otto mote). The conference was officially opened by the Indonesian government, represented Menkopolhukam. There is no reason for the government of Indonesia says Papua many factions, not united and there is no representation. Papuan People intelligently choosing and define their 5 representatives to dialogue with the Government of Indonesia. The Indonesian government also can dialogue with: West Papua National Coalition for Liberation (WPNCL) headquartered in Vanuatu.
5. The Indonesian government must recognize kekagagalan and crimes against indigenous Papuans since May 1, 1963 to the present day. The Indonesian government must end the occupation and colonization in the Land of Papua and provide opportunities for Indigenous Papuans for control of its future as an independent and sovereign nation.
6. Indonesian government and the Papuan people make cooperation agreements in the fields of economics, security, politics, and how the fate of Indonesian people who had been in Papua and the homesteader.
