  • Statement on Crackdown in West Papua Against Flag
    STATEMENT ON CRACKDOWN IN WEST PAPUA AGAINST FLAG-RAISERS TAPOL, the Indonesia Human Rights Campaign 20 March 2008 According to latest reports from West Papua, more than a dozen Papuans have been arrested for taking part in peacefully unfurling their flag, the Morning Star (Kejora), some or all of whom are likely to be charged for rebellion (makar). The arrests were made following a series of protest demonstrations in Manokwari and Jayapura against Presidential Decree PP77 which makes it illegal to unfurl regional flags not only in West Papua but in other parts of the country as well. The peaceful demonstration on 13 March in Manokwari was organised by the West Papua National Authority (WPNA) and the Greater Manokwari Student Executive Council (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa, BEM). Following the enactment of the Decree, eleven Papuans were arrested in Manokwari on 13 March for flying the kejora in protest against the Decree. More arrests were reported on 19 March when the police took four people into custody in Jayapura for raising flags and for disturbing security. According to a report in the Jayapura newspaper, Cenderawasih Pos on 16 March, the regional police chief of Papua, Inspector-General Max Donald, said that the police would be taking action against those who unfurled the kejora flag in Manokwari and elsewhere. The eleven persons arrested in Manokwari are: Jack Wanggai, spokesperson of the West Papua National Authority, Frans Kareth, lecturer in economics, Markus Solig Umpes, Edy Ayorbaba, Daniel Sakwatorey, Marthinus Luther, Noak AP George Rasyard Ayorbaba, Ariel Werimon, Leonardus Decky Bame, Silas Carlos Teves May, aged 16 years.

  • Selection of LNG Receiving Ports
    Chapter 4 Selection of LNG Receiving Ports January 2021 This chapter should be cited as ERIA (2021), ‘Selection of LNG Receiving Ports’, in Kimura, S., et al. (eds.), Feasible Solutions to Deliver LNG to Midsized and Large Islands in Indonesia. ERIA Research Project Report FY2020 no.18, Jakarta: ERIA, pp.22-30. Chapter 4 Selection of LNG Receiving Ports In this chapter, we proposed the locations of LNG receiving ports by using a methodology that considers several factors. First, we looked at the forecasted LNG demand in Eastern Indonesia as estimated in chapter 3. Second, in each region we gathered all seaports that are geographically close to the existing or planned-to-be-developed natural gas–fired or dual- engine power plants. Third, we gathered information on the profile of those seaports. Finally, considering the specifications of the model LNG carrier vessels, we selected several seaports as LNG receiving ports based on the accessibility of those seaports. In section 4.1, we presented the initial candidates for LNG receiving terminals (ports) based on the location of the existing seaports, the forecasted LNG demand and the existing and planned GPPs. In section 4.2, we selected LNG carrier vessels and presented their characteristics. Finally, in section 4.3, we presented the selected receiving ports based on their accessibility for the model ships. 1. Regions and the Potential LNG Receiving Ports Chapter 3 identified 21 regions that include cities and small islands where potential LNG demand for power generation would likely be generated in the future, i.e. in the 2040 horizon.

Contents 1. Introduction 2. Historical background 3. Root causes of the conflict in West Papua 4. The sources of the Indonesian Government’s power in West Papua 5. Armed resistance to Indonesian rule in West Papua 6. Contemporary nonviolent struggle in West Papua 7. Ways forward 8. Conclusion Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A nonviolent struggle for self-determination has been occurring in West Papua, an Indonesian colony located on the Western rim of the Pacific. A previous Dutch colonial outpost that Indonesia took control of in 1963, West Papua has been the scene of one of the most protracted, complex, and volatile conflicts in the Pacific. The nonviolent struggle in West Papua has rarely been noticed or analyzed in depth by West Papuan scholars whose inquiries have focused on conventional politicking and armed resistance. Nor has nonviolent struggle in West Papua been investigated by those conducting research into the dynamics of nonviolent action. The nonviolent struggle for self- determination in West Papua has also received little sustained analytical attention from domesticUNESCO Indonesia media outlets adding – to widespreadEOLSS Indonesian ignorance about the causes of West Papuan grievances. A banning on foreign journalists traveling to West Papua has further contributed to West Papua’s marginalization in the international press.

  • Cave Use Variability in Central Maluku, Eastern Indonesia
    Cave Use Variability in Central Maluku, Eastern Indonesia D. KYLE LATINIS AND KEN STARK IT IS NOW INCREASINGLY CLEAR that humans systematically colonized both Wallacea and Sahul and neighboring islands from at least 40,000-50,000 years ago, their migrations probably entailing reconnoitered and planned movements and perhaps even prior resource stocking of flora and fauna that were unknown to the destinations prior to human translocation (Latinis 1999, 2000). Interest­ ingly, much of the supporting evidence derives from palaeobotanical remains found in caves. The number of late Pleistocene and Holocene sites that have been discovered in the greater region including Wallacea and Greater Near Ocea­ nia, most ofwhich are cave sites, has grown with increased research efforts partic­ ularly in the last few decades (Green 1991; Terrell pers. comm.). By the late Pleis­ tocene and early Holocene, human populations had already adapted to a number ofvery different ecosystems (Smith and Sharp 1993). The first key question considered in this chapter is, how did the human use of caves differ in these different ecosystems? We limit our discussion to the geo­ graphic region of central Maluku in eastern Indonesia (Fig. 1). Central Maluku is a mountainous group of moderately large and small equatorial islands dominated by limestone bedrock; there are also some smaller volcanic islands. The region is further characterized by predominantly wet, lush, tropical, and monsoon forests. Northeast Bum demonstrates some unique geology (Dickinson 2004) that is re­ sponsible for the distinctive clays and additives used in pottery production (dis­ cussed later in this paper). It is hoped that the modest contribution presented here will aid others working on addressing this question in larger and different geographic regions.
