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. -

Humiliation and Education in a Dani Modernity
Dreams Made Small: Humiliation and Education in a Dani Modernity Jenny Munro A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The Australian National University December 2009 **This electronic version has been edited to reduce digital size and is not the same as the printed version or the full electronic version with images** This thesis is the original work of the author except where otherwise acknowledged. Jenny Munro Department of Anthropology Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University i Abstract Indigenous youth from the Baliem Valley area of Papua, Indonesia aspire to be part of ‘progress’ ( kemajuan ) in their isolated region but are constrained by colonial conditions that favour migrant Indonesians. In this thesis, indigenous Dani students leave the tense social and political setting of highlands Papua in order, they say, to broaden their horizons in North Sulawesi, a relatively prosperous, peaceful province four days west of Papua by passenger ship. Based on 16 months of fieldwork conducted in 2005-2006 and 2009, this thesis explores Dani efforts to gain university degrees and obtain ‘modern’ skills and capabilities in a tangled web of racial stigma, prejudice, institutionalized corruption, and intense relationships with other Papuan highlanders. It follows Dani graduates back to the Baliem Valley to see what results they create from a university degree. This exploration of the personal histories and life chances of stigmatized individuals sheds light on Papuan nationalism, the everyday production and negotiation of racial hierarchies, and how affect, in this case humiliation, fuels the formation of a particular vision of identity and the future. -
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. -

CONCLUSION 26 Acknowledgments 27 I. SUMMARY AThe [Papuan] reform movement has removed the lid and released a lot of smoke. The problem now is that many people are still too preoccupied with the smoke. They forget that the smoke is there because there is a fire.... The fire is injustice.@ Barnabas Suebu, former Governor of Irian Jaya, current Indonesian Ambassador to Mexico, interviewed in Tempo, October 23 - 29, 2000. The political situation in Irian Jaya (also known as West Papua or Papua), Indonesia =s easternmost province, is fundamentally unsettled. Papua is remote from Jakarta and home to only two million of the country=s more than 200 million inhabitants, but what happens in the resource-rich province is likely to have great importance for Indonesia. Like Aceh, Papua is home to an armed insurgency against the Indonesian government. -

Further species were described by Kleine (1926, 1930, 1935). Additional two species were originally described in Trichalus by Pic (1921, 1923) and transferred to Eniclases by Bocak & Bocakova (1991). -

Email Coresponden: [email protected] Abstract Indonesia is the world 's largest archipelago with 1,904,569 km2 of surface area. A very diverse landscape with a variety of abundance of flora and fauna is a special attraction for foreign tourists. Not only that, the natural wealth in Indonesia 's intestines is also very abundant, as are various minerals and richness from other mining materials. However, a abundance of skilled human capital, both in terms of science and technology mastered, do not complement the plentiful natural resources. This is one of the reasons superpowers should be providing cooperation. PT. PT. Freeport is an clear example of Indonesia 's collaboration in the mining sector with foreign parties. The first contract for Freeport-Indonesia was established in 1967. After the Foreign Investment Law was passed in 1967, Freeport became the first foreign mining firm to operate in Indonesia. But the existence of this partnership was regretted by many because it was perceived to be detrimental to the region. The reason is that so far nobody knows for sure how much gold and silver has been produced from the mining to date. The magnitude of the distribution of mining goods is also not quite good given that Indonesia owns land which is turned into gold fields. There are, in fact, many reports uncovering miserable stories of discrimination by indigenous people around the mining region. -

Measuring the are deemed incapable of resolving problems. On the other hand, the direct local Urgency of Asymmetric Local Elections (Pilkada) in Papua.Jurnal Bina Praja, 12(2), elections' political costs are not small, both from the state's budget and from the 273–286.https://doi.org/10.21787/ candidates to the regions. Implementing direct local elections sometimes creates jbp.12.2020.273-286 ineffective governance, especially in areas that do not yet have a mature democracy. The ongoing local democratic system is also often colored by conflict. This research Received: October 13, 2020 focuses on the urgency of the asymmetric regional election in Papua. This research Accepted: November 22, 2020 will explain how important asymmetric local elections (Pilkada) is applied in Papua. Published: December 16, 2020 Moreover, this study uses a library method and a qualitative approach. The results of this study found several reasons for direct local elections, not yet satisfactory results. © The Author(s) Democratization in Papua is still not well consolidated.
