West Papua Cry
West Papua people was convinced by Bung Karno to join Indonesia in the vote between Indonesia and Deutch. They were promised by him to have a better future. Years after, the Indonesia victory was began to fade because of the imbalance development. The gap between east and west became prominent.
In 1967, Soehartonian government sign an agreement with Freeport, Inc to mine copper in Tembagapura. Many years, waste from the mine was exported to overseas. The dictactorship of Soehartonian government made people have not enough courage to examine what was happening back there. Independent studies to examine the mine was forbidden.
Almost after 20 years, the sneaky play was discovered. The 'waste' was containing gold! Yes, we are deceived for years. Where are the law when they are needed? None of the Indonesian politician dare to sue Freeport for the corruption. None!
This is just a game of politics. Wanna prove? How many civil right was taken when the Indonesian army torturing the Papuan to protect Freeport? Lots of them. And where are the international society? None of them dare to mess with that. Freeport is a big corporation from ... so no one dare to shout against ....
To all Indonesian politicians:
There are no such thing as free lunch. You may enrich yourself. You may corrupt many many things. But remember, in the end, you only put yourself and your family in the risk. You messing around with your surrounding, causing riots, and then the flame itself burn you because you are in the middle of it.
Stop think right here right now! Think tomorrow!
