Foreign media are banned here in west Papua. There is massive deforestation all over Indonesia specially in Southern part of west Papua. When local protest, government Indonesia, they call the local protester as criminal, terrorist, separatist.

Dikala negara ini mau mandiri sangat banyak tekanan bahkan dukungan asing yang membuat negara ini sulit untuk berdaulat , mandiri energi dan pangan .mereka yang merongrong kebijakan ini adalah orang yang bodoh bahkan bisa menjadi antek antek asing yang dibayar.

(google Ai answer whether the movie is banned) The Indonesian central government has not officially banned the documentary film Pesta Babi (Pesta Babi: Kolonialisme di Zaman Kita).The Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, as well as the Minister of Human Rights, Natalius Pigai, have explicitly clarified that there is no official state instruction or policy to ban the movie or block its public. However, the film has faced widespread local shutdowns, censorship, and intimidation across the country.

Even Al Jazeera raised this issue. Isn't the Indonesian government ashamed of its militaristic actions and the forced taking of customary land from Papuans? Do they think Papua is empty land? 😂😂😂😂 "If independence is the path for Papua to be free, then we support them to be independent." [The government is mostly filled with oligarchs and capitalists who always make the people suffer, activists are silenced, the people are made stupid, customary land is taken, and yes, the state budget is used to buy sacrificial animals.] ...... (Mother Earth, when will you recover, your children are always crying over your absence..)
