Organisasi Papua Merdeka - TPN/OPM

Tags:

The Liberation Army of Free Papua Movement (Tentara Pembebasan Nasional Organisasi Papua Merdeka - TPN/OPM) is the mother organisation of independence movement in West Papua since the early 1960's. It has been fighting a guerrilla war since then with the only and single demand: to gain back the stolen and robbed Independence on May 1, 1963 when the United Nations Temporary Executives Administration (UNTEA) handed over West Papua to Indonesia, instead of carrying out an act of self-determination

The Healing land

The Bushmen: also known as KhoiSan, Basarwa or San. These people are the original inhabitants of the Kalahari, indeed of Southern Africa. A race apart, they are small of stature and golden-skinned with an oriental cast to their features which prompted some early Portuguese explorers who encountered them to think that they had arrived in China. Their languages are distinctive - containing at least six vocal 'clicks', which punctuate the speech like rapid machine-gun fire.
