Jayapura, Jubi – President Jokowi’s plan to form Melanesian region in Indonesia by combining the five provinces of Papua, West Papua, Moluccas, North Moluccas and East Nusa Tenggara was seen as a strategy to thwart the struggle of West Papuans to be part of the Melanesian Spearhead Groups (MSG), councillor said.

A member of Commission I of the Papua Legislative Council (DPRP) on Politics, Law and Human Rights, Ruben Magay stated that before the central government planned to establish the Melanesian-Indonesia region, the Papua people have already made an effort to reclaim their identity by trying to be a member of MSG, along with all countries in the Pacific region.
“The question that need to ask is why when the Papuans fight to become a member of the MSG, it was not facilitated. Why the Central Government is silent and even tries to prevent it happening. It’s just common sense – a trick to dampen Papuans’ struggle to join MSG, ” Magay said to Jubi last week.

Continued, even though there may be a positive impact on the issue of establishment of the Melanesian region in Indonesia, but of course there is something beyond the discourse.
“So far, the Jakarta always sees from the political side and it makes difficulty Papuans has struggling to clarify their identity since long time ago yet it is constrained by the political approach, “he said.

He is optimistic, any plan behind all of the Central Government, will be revealed at some point. He said, Papua has a long history of searching for their identity.

Previously, Moluccas governor Said Assagaff said Joko Widodo President wants to form the Melanesian region by combining the five provinces in the eastern region of Moluccas, North Moluccas Papua, West Papua and East Nusa Tenggara in the region.
“The President is very eager to form the Melanesian region in Indonesia so he assigned Coordinating Minister on Political, Legal and Security (Politics) Tejo Edhy to meet the Governor of the five provinces in Ambon on Friday (02/27/2015),”Said Assagaff stated on Saturday (02/28/2015). (Arjuna Pademme/Tina)

Jayapura, Jubi – The Independent Student Forum (FIM) urged the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) to immediately form an inquiry team to investigate the shooting dead of four high school students in Enarotali, Paniai, Papua on December 8, 2014.

“We thought the Commission has formed a KPP HAM. However, it turned out only the Investigation Team (TPF) is formed and has not worked optimally. Therefore, we urge Komnas HAM to immediately form a KPP HAM.” FIM coordiator Melianus Duwitau said to Jubi in Abepura, Papua on Monday (09/03/2015).

He further stated the Commission seems to be afraid of conducting an investigation independently due to pressure from the authorities and security forces.

For example, the police issued a statement that it is difficult to find the witness and Paniai Dandim was replaced before Paniai case was handled until finished. “It is actually their game to cover up who the real perpetrator, “he added.

For that, it is expected that the Commission to immediately set up a KPP HAM as it is serious human rights violation. And if the Commission and the investigative team could not reveal who the culprit, then we declare that the state is killing Papuans.

Meanwhile, member of the FIM Dani Yogi is also stated the same thing. The Commission should immediately establish a KPP HAM and uncover who is responsible of the matter.
“We Papuans are not haunted animals. The state must show its willingness and ability to reveal it ,”Yogi stated. (Arnold Belau/ Tina)
