1) Govt engaging Pacific nations to protect interests in Papua
December 10, 2024 23:53 GMT+700
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Defense Ministry has said that engaging Pacific nations in the ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting (ADMM) Plus has become a part of Jakarta's diplomatic strategy to safeguard its national interest in Papua.
The diplomatic strategy was disclosed by director for mobilizing defense components at the ministry's Defense Strategic Directorate General, Brigadier General Mohamad Nafis, during a focus group discussion here Monday.
Nafis said that the implementation of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP) from the defense perspective has paved the way for engaging Pacific nations in ADMM Plus.
Therefore, when hosting the ADMM and ADMM Plus in January this year, Indonesia successfully encouraged ASEAN countries to agree on the implementation of AOIP from the defense perspective, he informed.
The collective agreement paved the way for the Pacific nations' participation in activities related to the ADMM and ADMM Plus, such as working groups and joint exercises in the region, Nafis added.
"The implementation of AOIP will enable the ADMM to work with the Pacific nations more closely, and it will help us show that the Pacific nations and their ASEAN counterparts have a good relationship," he said.
The situation would hopefully encourage the Pacific nations to be more favorable to ASEAN, he told the participants of the discussion forum, organized by the Indonesian Defense University (Unhan).
As reported earlier, to advance Indonesia's diplomacy with the Pacific nations, the Defense Ministry initiated a goodwill mission to four countries in the South Pacific region.
As part of the mission, Indonesian warship KRI Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo (WSH) -991carried out humanitarian visits in the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea.
In Vanuatu, KRI WSH-991 provided health services for the community, including general examinations, such as blood pressure checks, physical checks, and consultations.
It also provided services through the ENT (ear, nose, throat) polyclinic as well as X-rays and CT scans, and dental and oral health checks and treatment.
The warship, which is part of the 2024 Pacific port visit task force, began its 48-day mission on October 9, 2024, and returned to its headquarters in Sorong, Southwest Papua, on November 25.

Jayapura, Jubi – The People's Front and Papuan students hope that on the momentum of the commemoration of International Human Rights Day, the Indonesian state can open its eyes and also realize, the state has the greatest sin in the form of human rights violations against the Papuan people.
Stenlhy Dambujai, one of those responsible for the action, asked the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission and also the Papuan Representative of the National Human Rights Commission to be truly firm, not to cover up cases of human rights violations in Papua. The Papuan people firmly asked Natalius Pigai as the
Minister of Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia not to turn a blind eye to the many human rights violations that have occurred in Papua.
"Don't deny your identity as a Papuan just because of your position," he said when interviewed by Jubi during the action to commemorate International Human Rights Day at the Abepura Circle, Jayapura City, Papua, Tuesday (10/12/2024).
Frengki Edowai from the Jayapura Green Papua Collective added, in Papua there are many human rights violations. The state also knows, the highest cases of human rights violations are in Papua, but there has been no resolution process.
He asked the task forces formed by the state to carry out military operations in Papua to be withdrawn immediately.
"Organic and non-organic military, because of the military that was sent to Papua, they became actors of violence against the community. They are the ones who caused human rights violations in Papua," he said.
According to him, the existence of various national strategic projects is the basis for the military to continue to be massive in Papua. The presence of the security forces adds to the existing trauma because the violence continues to roll.
The action went smoothly, escorted by around 20 local police personnel.
There are several points of the statement of position conveyed by the Papuan People's Front rejecting human rights violations in Papua, namely:
1. Immediately arrest and prosecute the perpetrators of the shootings in Intan Jaya Regency, Yahukimo, Puncak Regency, Dogiyai Regency, Nduga Regency.
2. Arrest and prosecute the perpetrators of the shooting of Tobias Silak
3. Withdraw Brimob posts throughout Papua
4. Komnas HAM immediately announces the results of the investigation into the shooting of Tobias Silak
5. Immediately reveal and prosecute the perpetrators of the bombing of the Papua Jubi Media Office and the Papua LBP office
6. Immediately reveal and prosecute the perpetrators recorded by Komnas HAM from January 1 to June 1, 2024, around 41 shooting incidents.
7. Immediately revoke the Presidential Decree on Defense and Security and the Organic and Non-Organic Military throughout Papua
8. Immediately disband the Cartenz Peace Task Force, Nemangkawi Task Force, Habema Task Force, Binmas Noken Task Force, Pinang Sirih Task Force and Paro Task Force.
9. Immediately stop and revoke capitalist investment throughout Papua under the guise of National Strategic Projects
Give the Papuan people the right to self-determination as a democratic solution. (*)

3) Village digitalization expected to benefit Papuans
December 10, 2024 23:31 GMT+700
Sentani, Papua (ANTARA) - The Papua provincial government is hoping that the village digitalization program will provide benefits to Papuans, especially the residents of Doyo Baru village, Jayapura District.
Acting Governor of Papua Ramses Limbong said here on Tuesday that digitalization has become an indicator of change in many sectors, including in rural areas or villages.
"The digital village program is an effort to present digital transformation that reaches all aspects of life," he added.
According to Limbong, the main goal of village digitalization is to create more advanced, independent, and prosperous villages by utilizing technology as the main driver.
"In this program, various services have been designed to facilitate access to public services such as village administration and population data management," he said.
He added that village digitalization also aims to boost the economy through social media platforms, which can support local micro, small, and medium enterprises in marketing their products widely.
Digitalization can also support the education and health sectors by providing wider access to information. Therefore, an integrated information system can increase the transparency and accountability of village governments.
"The launch of village digital transformation is not the end of the journey but a beginning," he said.
He then invited all elements of society in Papua, including the government, private sector, academicians, and the community, to jointly support the program's sustainability.
"Let's make the village digitalization as a lesson, not just a means of modernization," he said.
He added he believes that through the spirit of mutual cooperation, the village digitalization program will be able to answer the challenges of village development in Papua.
"A smart or digital village is the key to opening the door to the nation's progress as a whole," he said.
