1) Papua Council Calls for Dialogue with Jakarta

Jayapura, Jubi – Papua’s Parliament Legal and Human Rights Division called on the Central Government to immediately hold a peaceful dialogue between with Papua as proposed by the Papua Peace Networks (JDP) .  
 
Commmission I member Ruben Magau said the President Joko Widodo invoked dialogue as a solution to the Papuan issues during his visit to Papua for attending the National Christmas Event on 27 December 2014 for attending the Christmas Celebration Event.
 
“The Central Government has responded. Now, we must ensure when it is implemented. It must be clear. Do not let it drag,” Magay said on Tuesday (6/1).
 
He said a dialogue has been initiated since the era of former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. But it never got positive response from SBY’s administration.
 
“The concept was actually submitted to Jakarta at that time. And now the people of Papua give good response on that dialogue. Now it’s up to Jakarta in taking sight of point of view,” he said.
 
The Chairman of Commission A of the Papua’s Parliament, Elvis Tabuni said if the Central Government truly wants a dialogue, it must involve the third party. “The Central Government must involve other country who’s not taking side as ‘referee’. Do not only talk with particular leaders,” Tabuni said.
 
Earlier, the JDP Coordinator, Pastor Neles Tebay said a dialogue is part of Papuan’s culture. Every subject must be discussed at first. But the dialogue is not an objective or a solution but only a tool. “Therefore a dialogue between Jakarta and Papuans is a tool to find a solution on the problems occurred in Papua that has not yet resolved,” said Tebay recently quoted by Jubi from http://majalahselangkah.com.
 
He said a struggle for Jakarta – Papua Dialogue by JDP is existed because of the human belief as God’s creation. As God’s creation, the human is a social creature. It considers cannot be isolated without communication with others in its life. Therefore, a dialogue could represented the people of Papua and Jakarta as God’s creations as well as social creatures to open their mind through a dialogue for better solution.
 
Even he published the book ‘Angkat Pena Demi Dialog Papua (Kumpulan Artikel Opini tentang Dialog Jakarta – Papua)’ in Yogyakarta on 29 May 2012 where the Yogyakarta Governor Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X attended the book launching as key resource person, while the Papua Congress in 2000 in Sentani recommended a dialogue Jakarta and Papua. The book written by Pastor Tebay is a compilation of his writing about the dialogue published in several mass media. There are 54 articles compiled since 2000-2001.

“In the future, students’ graduation will not depend on grades, but there are some factors that will be considered. We agree with that policy, so we asked each regency and the town to soon adjust with the policy. Don’t be left behind with other provinces,” he added.
He further said the Ministry of Education would use the upcoming National Exam for mapping, policy interventions and graduation requirement as well as the requirement to pursue to the higher education.
Meanwhile, a member of Commission V of Papua Legislative Council, Nathan Pahabol, said the Department of Education should coordinate with the Ministry of Education, teachers and principals before National Exam is implemented.
“We hoped the regents and mayors to monitor the conditions of teaching and learning process. If the teachers are lazy, they must get sanctions,” Pahabol said. (Arjuna Pademme/Tina)

6) Children Leave School to Forest for Drinking Water

Merauke, Jubi – Drinking water scarce has become a serious problem for the local residents of Waan Sub-district of Merauke Regency. In rainy season, they used to utilize the rainwater to cook, but in drought season, they must go to the forest searching for a pond although the water is not clean enough for drinking.
 
Former Merauke councilor, Dominikus Ulukyanan told to Jubi on Monday (5/1) he just returned from some villages located at Waan Sub-district. He saw the local people are struggling, particularly to obtain some water.
 
“I often visit Waan Sub-district and stay there for months. We have to order some water from Kimmaan Sub-district transported using the speedboat. It’s only for drinking, while for cleaning, we used the sea water,” he said.
 
He further said people feel quite helped if it comes the rainy season. But in long drought season, they will leave the village and bring their children to the forest for searching the water source.
 
“Yes, they have no choice, but they still must take it. Since not everyone could buy the water from Kimaam and rent a speedboat. It’s very expensive,” he said.
 
In the recent time, the education at Waan Sub-district is not well implemented and the teachers are always highlighted. But he observed when the teachers were at the village; the children were at the forest with their parents for weeks or even months. He also said he will meet the Merauke Regent Romanus Mbaraka addressing the education and water issues.
 
Meanwhile, the Waan Sub-district Chief, Frederikus Buer admitted the local residents often complained about the drinking water. “I have expressed their voice to the government, but obtained no response until now,” he said. (Frans L Kobun/Rom)
