Note. It’s not unusual for the Indonesian military to claim OPM members are surrendering as a propaganda
exercise. (A case of wait and see).
3) Indonesian Army Claims OPM Leader Surrenders in Papua
Jayapura. The Indonesian military has claimed a prominent leader of the pro-independence Free Papua Movement, or OPM, has turned himself in to authorities and renounced his struggle against Indonesian rule in Papua.
Goliat Tabuni, his family, and 23 followers surrendered to authorities on Sunday, according to Brig. Gen. Tatang Sulaiman, chief staff of Cendrawasih Military Command.
Tatang claimed on Monday that the group surrendered because they wanted to “live properly like other Indonesians.”
Goliat is a seasoned OPM leader who has claimed responsibility for killing troops from the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) in the past.
Tatang said Goliat had requested the military build him and his family a honai, or traditional Papuan home, in Tinginambut district, where the OPM leader has been operating. TNI representatives were still negotiating with Tabuni.
The veracity of the army’s claim has been questioned by other OPM commanders, however, who have challenged the TNI to prove it.
OPM Commander Puron Wenda said he was unsure about the military’s statement. He said he had not been in contact with Tabuni, who led his own fighting cell, for a long time.
“Goliat might feel he is already independent and that is why he used the title of general, but for us our fight has just been started,” he said.
Enden Wanimbo, another OPM military leader, challenged the TNI to show evidence.
“Where is the evidence? Is there any videos or pictures,” he asked.
Both military leaders said the OPM would not give up fighting for a free Papua.
“We are not asking for money, position, or a new district, we just want Papua to be independent,” Puron told the Jakarta Globe Tuesday.
The OPM has been waging a low-intensity guerilla war against Indonesia since Papua was annexed in 1969.

4) A handful of OPM freedom fighters want to give up the fight
Members of the Free Papua Organization (OPM) in Tingginambut district, Puncak Jaya regency, Papua, had expressed their intentions to end their struggle, come down from the mountains and become Indonesian citizens again. They said they wanted to have normal lives together with their relatives.
This was announced by 23 people who acted as representatives of the OPM in Tingginambut areas in front of the Cendrawasih military command's chief of staff Brig. Gen. Tatang Sulaiman in Puncak Jaya on Monday.
According to Tatang, the followers of Goliat Tabuni wanted to come down from the mountainous areas because development programs had reached their areas. "Principally they long for normal and peaceful lives," Tatang said in Jayapura as quoted by kompas.com.
They hoped that they would be given local traditional houses called honai and they also hoped the local military district post head would pay attention to them. "They are given temporary accommodations, while their demand for residential sites will be communicated to the Puncak Jaya regent," Tatang added. (her)
