West Papua:

After Indonesia’s Latest Military Operation, More Civilians Are Dead — and the Pattern Refuses to End

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WEST PAPUA & human rights abuses?

The Indonesian govt will do 1 of 2 things.

1: DENY & discredit those who made the claims.

2: NOTHING!

Let’s do a little forward thinking. Give it 100 years & everything will be logged out & mined out. RUINED. West Papua the Western part of the 2nd biggest island in the world New Guinea is totally plundered.

#palmoil #deforestation #mining

I am Indonesia.

I have tanks, missiles, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and soldiers without brains, professionalism, and humanity.

I eliminate Papuans. I plunder mountains and fuck up rainforests, I occupy towns & demolish homes, how dare they demand freedom.

West Papua

Why don’t any of the “End the Occupation” anti-Israel lunatics ever speak about Indonesia’s occupation of West Papua

Is it a black thing..?

I shit on every fucking media outlet that chooses to use 'separatist' for indigenous Papuans, you aaalll shit. There is no separatist movement in West Papua. There are freedom fighters who are defenders of truth & the last defender of the West Papuan people & West Papuan land.

The majority of the international community supports Indonesia’s control of the West Papua region including Australia.

As long as mountains are plundered, rainforests are destroyed and Papuans are slaughtered - it's all fine. #AusPol #WestPapua

#WestPapua & #AusPol
no prick of an MP gives a flying fuck!

And it is happening right on Australia's doorstep

West Papua, is owned and run like a 19th-century colony. But its situation is even worse, as it is not formally recognised as such. Instead, it's treated by the UN and powerful countries – incl the US, Australia #AusPol & the UK – as part of the national territory of Indonesia

Isn't this one of the problems with humanity?

In Australia, it's hard to even bring up West Papua as a topic of discussion. Maybe because it's too close, and Australia been implicit in ignoring it for so long, the guilt is so strong.

#AusPol #WestPapua

WHO ARE WEST PAPUA'S ENEMIES?

The internationalization of the problem of Indonesia’s black Papuan population has much to do with the geopolitical considerations of various stakeholders in view of the important strategic position of both West Papua & Indonesia as a whole.

The Dutch love to parade as champions of human rights—always the first to scream for justice in Palestine, and anywhere else that flatters their moral ego. Mention West Papua, their own colonial mess, suddenly it’s amnesia o’clock. Saints?

More like selective humanitarians with a goldfish memory

The Dutch fled West Papua like they did in Srebrenica — abandoning a people to slaughter. Thrown out of Java by the Japanese, they handed West Papua to Indonesia, a country with no claim.

The Netherlands. Colonial cowards—scum in both wars and peace.

I am West Papua. Indonesian soldiers are heroes whilst mothers of my land fight in tears, sweat & blood to protect their children.

If Indonesia ‘owns’ West Papua, why not claim all of Melanesia — PNG, Solomons, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji?

By Jakarta logic, Melanesians are just Asians.

Grasberg Mine, world's largest and most productive gold mine.

Copper, gold & uranium reserves worth around $100 / 150 billion. This mine is an absolute guarantee for the
deliberate, systematic, intentional action to destroy the indigenous Papuan people

Indonesia promotes Raja Ampat because it’s a stunning, “Instagram-worthy” paradise that draws tourists and investment, while keeping the rest of West Papua — rife with conflict and human rights issues—out of the spotlight.

You ever thought why Indonesia heavily promotes Raja Ampat over other parts of West Papua…?

West Papua & PNG

The New Guinea Fold & Thrust Belt — basically Earth’s jackpot of gold and copper. Every mining company on the planet is lining up to plunder it, carve it open, and leave the mountains looking like they lost a knife fight with capitalism.

Can anyone explain the story of #NewGuinea, how it was sliced up by the Dutch, British, Germany & how the US and Indonesia: a shit clusterfuck of islands is fucking up West Papua, murdering the black indigenous & plunder natural resources.

#Netherlands

West Papua sits on two gold monsters: Grasberg (808 t) and Wabu Block (252 t). Over 1,000 t of gold — a third of the world’s yearly output — and Papuans get nothing but bullets, bans, and “development” written in someone else’s blood.

West Papua barely gets mentioned — shocking, right? Indonesia colonizes it, Australia cheers from the sidelines, and the Dutch suddenly develop selective mutism whenever their colonial skeletons start rattling.

But sure, let’s all pretend it’s “complicated.”

Your mobile phone contains around 0.5 oz of copper—more than all other metals combined and over 12% of its total weight. Much of it likely comes from the world’s largest gold-copper mine in West Papua

Hidden in Papua : the $40 billion gold mine that could be the World’s biggest and richest - Le Ravi Hidden deep in the towering mountains of Papua, Indonesia, lies one of the world’s most incredible mining operations. Grasberg Mine isn’t just any

West Papua

Grasberg: the world’s fattest gold mine — and the reason Papuans are being killed so the rest of us can have shiny phones and richer shareholders.

WEST PAPUA: DRONES. GRENADES. CIVILIANS BURNED ALIVE.

Armed drones drop explosives.
Grenades thrown into homes.
Women and children trapped inside.

This isn’t “security operations.”
This is a war on civilians.

Death toll rising.
Over 100,000+ people displaced.

And still—denial
