The People of Papua Love the Republic of Indonesia, Free Papua is Only a Game of Elite Separatists

During his 5 years in office, Jokowi has built the trans Papua road, the Hamadi-Holtekam Bridge, the Power Plant in West Papua, Sentani Airport to the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border road.
.
The Jokowi government has also succeeded in developing the Puncak District area, which was once isolated as an open area. One result is that fuel prices that used to reach 50-100 thousand rupiahs can be compared to the prices of fuel in other regions. In addition, the price of one sack of cement, which used to reach 2 million, could eventually be equated with other regions.
.
From the description above, it is clear that the sincerity of Jokowi and the Indonesian government is maintaining the honor of the people of Papua. Before the siege of the dormitory, Jokowi had a total of developing various sectors of life in Papua.
.
Not only that, Jokowi in his 5 years of government has also visited Papua 13 times in order to maintain closeness with Pace, Mace and Papuan mothers.
.
In the aftermath of the siege on the Papua student dormitory, the government was no less alert in handling cases. The Governor, the President, the National Police and the TNI even compactly rolled up their arms, handling the incident. All who are guilty have been subject to legal action. Including for TNI officers suspected of being involved in a siege on student dormitories.

Researcher from the Papua Center of the University of Indonesia, Bambang Shergi Lhaksmono, said the December 1 Warning is no longer relevant as a reminder of Papuan Independence, but that the people of Papua must be free from poverty and injustice.
.
"The 1 December warning must foster the spirit of the Indonesian people to free Papuans from backwardness," Bambang said in Jakarta on Thursday.
.
The December 1 momentum which has been considered as a commemoration of Papua independence day (West Papua) by the Free Papua Movement (OPM) and other Papuan pro-independence groups is the agenda of the elite (Free Papua) who continue to try to fulfill various personal interests because they are greedy.
.
Papua researcher from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Adrianna Elisabeth, stated that the fundamental problem of Papuans is not about independence. "For me the question of the referendum does not need to be discussed, because it is finished and is final (Papua is part of Indonesia)," he said.
