His Excellency Prime Minister of Vanuatu, In relation to the plan of PNG government to remove West Papuan Refugees 2000 to Kiunga, East Awin, PNG, at the moment we are continuously refusing it as there are so many problems related to the processes of the removal. The only reason is the the Papuans do not want to move, as they know already that Kiunga is the hell for them. Whoever sent there have never come back alive. That is the open prison for anyone from this Papua Soil. Therefore, it is obvious that PNG government is paid by the Indonesian colonialists and they are working together to kill other Papuans from the Western half of the same island.

It is clear that the PNG government is supporting Inodonesia's genocidal policies upon unique and extinct Melanesian ethinic. As stated in the Foreign Minister Letter, according to the PNG Law, we will be removed from our current location by 27 September 2004 (The PNG Foreign Minister Letter can be found at
http://www.westpapuanews.com/articles/publish/article_1274.shtml.
The strong effort from PNG government to remove us is only pushed by one department, i.e, department of foreign affairs because of being paid by Indonesia. The UNHCR is not aware about the move and is not active in handling the situation. The situation is getting worse as PNG is now using force to remove us from our place here, even though tribal chiefs in Sandaun Province already declared their support for us to stay here. In this circumstances, we are requesting His Excellency, the Prime Minister of the Republif of Vanuatu to help us by removing us from Papua Soil to our Melanesian brothers and sisters in Vanuatu. May God gives you all protection and wisdom, to save Melanesia from extinction. We are with you in our hearts and prayers. Papuan Refugees in Vanimo, Date 13 Sep 2004 Representative Requesting, Mr.Elimar Gombo On behalf of West Papuan Refugees Papuans DON'T WANT TO BE REMOVED from their Base:
Latest Report from West Papua Refugee Camp, Vanimo PNG

WPNews received a confirmed information from the field that the West Papuan Refugees who are forced by the PNG government to be removed from their current base in Vanimo, PNG are refusing to be removed to East Awin camp. The reason is still the same: The area is strongly under the Indonesian influence. Experience does teach that most of the leaders who were settled there either died or bought off by the Indonesian agents.
They said, "We are watching the airplane chartered by the PNG government is landing and waiting for us to go there. But no one is going there. We wait until they come and pick us up one by one. From there will will see what happens."
The meaning of "From there, we will see what happens" is that they want to fight anyone that is paid by Indonesia to come and remove them away from their own Papua Soil. They do not want to compromise or surrender with the order from Jakarta for the re-location of the refugees.
"The airplane has been there since yesterday (27 September 2004, which is the day the PNG government has promised to remove them from Vanimo), but they are taking no one out from here," says a leader.
The Governor and Police Commander as well as the Army Commander in Vanimo are defending the West Papuan Refugees. Both Police Commander and the Governor right now are in Port Moresby, the country's capital. While the army commander is with them, to see whether bribed officials from the Central Government is capable of removing them.
No one really knows exactly whether these army and police officers are really helping the refugees, but our field correspondent confirmed they are willing to help them stay where they are now. They even ordered the refugees to hide in the bush during this week.

Government authorities Papua New Guinea (PNG) are negotiating with West Papuan border crossers on the possibility of relocating them to the East Awin Refugee Camp in the Western Province.
NBC News reports that 300 border crossers were granted refugee status in March this year by the National Government and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. They were to begin moving to their new homes today but many of them are refusing to relocate.
The border crossers, mostly from the Wamena area within the Indonesian side of the border, fled their villages at the height of tensions between the military and the OPM rebels in 2000.
A chartered Airlines PNG aircraft arrived in Vanimo last night, to transport border crossers to their new homes.
Last week, a Foreign Affairs spokesman said the transfer was on a voluntary basis, but individuals refusing to leave would be deemed an illegal border crosser, and will later be handled by appropriate authorities.
