Please protect the indigenous people 🙏
Papua belongs to PNG NOT FIVKING INDONESIA
watch football together? this is how we get distracted. This is how they control us by using entertainment.
The struggle for Papua is not a struggle against ordinary Indonesians. It is a struggle for truth, transparency, and accountability. Many people believe there are unanswered questions about what happened in 1969 and how Papua's political future was decided. Whether one agrees or disagrees, those questions should not be feared. History should be examined openly, not buried. Papua is one of the richest regions in the archipelago in terms of natural resources, yet many Papuans continue to ask why so much wealth has left their land while local communities still face hardship. These are legitimate questions that deserve honest answers. This is not about hatred. It is not about attacking Indonesian people. Ordinary Indonesians and ordinary Papuans often face the same reality: they work hard while a small group of powerful interests benefits the most from the nation's wealth. If the truth is on the side of those in power, then there should be no fear of investigation, debate, or transparency. And if mistakes were made in the past, acknowledging them is the first step toward justice. Truth does not weaken a nation. A nation is weakened when it is afraid of the truth.
All over the world corrupt government officials and oligarchs are the cancer of society and the world itself.
As a traveler, I will NEVER go to a country that does that, even though I live in the USA (not great either, right now)
Yeah, military dude, there MAY be a risk of upset people. DUH....~! Almost as bad as the USA right now. JK
Revolution against capitalism is of the utmost importance!
All of this to feed China's ravenous appetite. China is the primary destination for Indonesian exports, accounting for roughly 23% to 25% of the country's total outbound trade. This trade relationship is heavily centered on raw materials and critical minerals that have driven significant environmental exploitation across the archipelago.
Euchhh.. more bad actors in this world to contend with.
Feelum?
This displacement of the indigenous people is worldwide. Elite billionaires and corporations.
Those who don't respect indigenous lands will themselves lose their own land or even a nation
The Army and Police preferred "watching football together" 😮 But, if the displacement is for the country's development and the people are well relocated, in better houses and community it's not bad. Don't make any judge just over this short. !!
Shame on such politicians and leaders across the world.
Free Papua, shame on the US, UK and Australia for giving Indonesia land that does not belong to them. Support Papuan independence from these corrupt racist monsters.
shutting down showings is a clear admission
It's unfortunate but it needs to be done. Nature has to be cleared for economic survival.
Asians from Java and Sumatra don't belong in Papua. It belongs to the Melanesians of New Guinea island. I was born in PNG. We are only separated by a land border created by Europeans. Free Papua!
