1) Why is this South African girl willing to swim across Lake Geneva for Papua?
Papua No. 1 News Portal I Jubi,
Carey Evans, while practicing swimming - IST
Jayapura, Jubi - The 25-year-old South African woman has just completed her Masters degree in 2017. She is an open water swimmer. In fact, he once crossed Midmar Mile, the largest open water in the world.
"I love to swim, it's just a hobby, not to compete," explained Carey Evans about his swimming hobby.
He claimed to learn to swim before attending school. Since then he has fallen in love with swimming sports.
"I am swimming in open water since I was 12 years old," he said.
Then why would he want to swim across Lake Geneva with a swimming team that would deliver a West Papua petition to a United Nations office representative in Geneva?
"I was involved in the Swim for West Papua when Joel (Captain of the swimming team) asked me to do something for West Papua and took the initiative of working with Free West Papua campaign," said Carey.
With this involvement, he claimed to be able to convey his aspirations to the people of West Papua. His hope in becoming part of this initiative is that as a team he and other swimmers can attract the world's attention and lead him to the human rights violations that occurred in West Papua.
"And in turn helps bring freedom to the oppressed people and nations," Carey said.
Living in South Africa with its warm climate has allowed her to enjoy swimming independently from a very young age and she is ready for the challenge of swimming across Lake Geneva.
"The more I see and hear the cruelty that is happening in West Papua, the more excited I am to swim, I hope this is the beginning of a major change in West Papua," Carey said.
On Tuesday morning (29/8/2017) a group of swimmers from several countries will swim across the 70-kilometer cold of Lake Geneva to deliver a petition signed by thousands of West Papuans to the UN. They are led by British Joel Evans.
Joel claimed he was inspired to participate in the Papua Merdeka Campaign after learning about West Papua from friends in Fiji and Papua New Guinea.
"The plan is that we will finish on Wednesday night and then continue with the parade on Thursday morning," Joel said in an e-mail to Jubi on Monday (7/28/2017). (*)

2) Papuan Islamic Community Supports HTI Dissolution
Monday, 28 Augst 2017 | 10:17 WIB
JAYAPURA, NETRALNEWS.COM - Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) together with the Papuan Islamic community association fully supports the government's moves to dissolve Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) and other mass organizations considered against the Pancasila, through the issuance of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) No. 2 of 2017 on Society Organizations.
Head of NU of Papua Province Region Tonny Wanggai in Jayapura on Monday (8/28/2017) said the Perppu is not to ban the da'wah [lecture] of Muslims as often alleged, but efforts to protect the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) from the threat of those who want to replacement the nation's ideology.
"We must also avoid the threat of community organizations' ideology that divide the unity and cause unrest in the community," he said.
According to Tonny, NU and other Papuan Islamic organizations are also supporting the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to revoke the operational license of HTI previously registered online as an Association Legal Entity in the Directorate General of General Legal Administration at Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.
"With the revocation of the HTI Legal Body Decision Letter, the community organization is declared dissolved and no longer allowed to do its activities, especially in Papua," he said.
He said the association also appealed to the local government and the authorities to socialize Perppu No. 2 of 2017 to the community and take firm action against the Papua HTI mass organization if it is still doing its activities.
"We also appeal to all Papuans, especially Muslims not to follow and provide any facilities for HTI activities in the Land of Papua either in the form of meetings or distribution of leaflets or pamphlets," he said.
He added that if anyone witnessed the meeting or distribution of the leaflets one could report to the authorities, because Papua as a peaceful land consists of various tribes and religions which must be kept together from the influence of the parties that cause division. (*)
3) Govt to Optimize Infrastructure Development in Papua, S. Sumatra
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Transportation Ministry continues to build infrastructures in marginalized areas, including in Papua and South Sumatra.
As for infrastructure development in Papua, the Minister said that it is done through the sea toll. He added that the Ministry has already had sea toll infrastructures for goods transport that serve 13 routes, as well as air toll as an integration from the sea toll.
“The sea toll and the air toll are aimed to good distribution to the regions,” he said on Saturday (26/8).
Budi also said that sea toll infrastructures in remote and mountainous areas in Papua are aimed at ensuring availability of goods in those areas, as well as to reduce price disparity in Papua.
As for South Sumatra, Budi said that the government is building double railway serving Prabumulih-Kertapati route, the LRT construction project, and Trans Sumatra toll road connecting Palembang–Betung–Jambi, and other infrastructures.

4) New Caledonia group draws up independence plan
3:38 pm today
New Caledonia's pro-independence FLNKS movement has firmed up its draft plan on how an independent New Caledonia should be shaped.
A weekend meeting heard back from territory-wide consultations as preparations continue for next year's independence referendum.
The FLNKS said it wanted to create a multi-cultural and democratic nation, which would have as citizens all the people who are inscribed on the restricted rolls for the referendum and the territorial election.
It proposed to rename the putative republic Kanaky-Nouvelle Caledonie, to redefine the Congress as parliament and to set up an electoral college to choose a president.
It also proposed making its flag the country's official flag.
The proposal is to be put out for further discussion and approval by the movement's various components.
It will then to be tabled at the October meeting in Paris of the signatories to the Noumea Accord.
