This is the government that is in trump’s so called Board of Peace for Gaza. So one can guess their moral standards. Just another dictator amassing wealth. It’s a shame that it is a Muslim majority country. All of these corrupt and cruel leaders reckoning will come someday …no matter what religion they ascribe themselves to….

PAPUA HAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST GOLD MINES ON EARTH. the island was occupied in 1948, when all who were late to the colonial game slipped in after the rules had been written. Apparently there was a grace period??? Highly illegal.

Christ have we learnt nothing. This entire population was feeding themselves just fine before this incursion of greed for logging. The legacy of logging is fires and floods full of logs which is happening in previously logged countries. Including my own, New Zealand. Fight it with all you have ❤
