West Papuan National Flag Day. 1st December
On the 1st December in 1961, the Morning Star flag (the West Papuan National flag) was flown for the first time officially beside the Dutch Tricolor. The Dutch were finally about to give the West Papuan people their freedom.
However it is one of the great tragedies that at their moment of freedom it was cruelly crushed and West Papua was basically handed over to Indonesia in 1963.
Fifty eight years later, the West Papuan people are still struggling for their right to self-determination. Supporters around the world on the 1st December raise the West Papuan flag in a show of support for the West Papuan people.
As individuals we can also contribute to raising awareness about West Papua on the 1st December.
By wearing a West Papuan t-shirt or badge or writing articles/opinion pieces for your church/trade union newsletter.
All these simple actions will help raise the issue of West Papuan in the minds of the Australian public.
