Dear friends of West Papua,

Tue, 07/17/2007 - 03:06 - Only days after the Indonesian Government banned U.S Congressman Eni Faleomavega from visiting West Papua, the Indonesian police, military and local government in Yogyakarta have teamed up with Islamic militias and hardline nationalist groups to crack down on West Papuan activists from United Front of West Papua People Fights [Front PEPERA PB] and also Alliance of Papuan Student [AMP].

How influential is a U.S. congressman that he could disrupt security in Papua or, in an extreme case, lead the province to break away from the republic?
The fear of this, however, seems so prevalent among our top policy makers that the government barred Democratic congressman Eni Faleomavaega from Papua.

Here is a video about the Akha Intervention that I presented at New York for the 6th Session of the UNPFII.
See it here, on YouTube.com
The Thais have not responded to our concerns about the Queen taking the land of Hooh Yoh Akha, in more than two years.
The Queen of Thailand in fact has taken the land from adjacent villages including Pah Nmm Akha, in Ampur Mae Faluang, Chiangrai Province and other villages as well.
We need volunteers and lots of help to change this situation.

WRITTEN DECLARATION CALLS FOR INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM

EURO-MPs are to call for the EU to intervene in forcing Indonesia to respect human rights in West Papua – and grant the province a free and fair referendum on independence – in a Written Declaration launched this Friday (December 1st) to coincide with West Papua Independence Day.

Twenty-seven leaders representing different Factions of the West Papuan Independence Movement have agreed in their meeting held in Yambi, Papua New Guinea on the formation of a national unity and reconciliation body, the West Papuan National Coalition for Liberation. The meeting was held between 28 November and 1st December 2005 and was attended by leaders from 18 resistance organizations including the TPN, the Military Arm of the OPM.

The ambitious DNA profiling "Genographic project" (See.. http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic) which seeks to retrace the path of human settlement on Earth has been encountering resistance among indigenous people. After a boycott-appeal by the US- American Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism http://www.ipcb.org, now some Maori and African First Nations have also announced concerns over the project .
