10 Indonesian Strategies to Conquer the Struggle of the West Papuan Nation:

1. LITERAISM DOMINATION

The main strategy of colonialism is to use military force to conquer the nation's territory.  Military aggression was deployed.  

The killing operation was carried out.  

The people were expelled, terrorized and helpless.  

Then military reinforcement and occupation through territorial commands was established.  All sectors are controlled under military pressure.  Military violence was carried out repeatedly so that the colonized really surrendered.

2. CONTROL - RESOURCES

Colonialism's goal was to extract natural resources to enrich the rulers and build their political power.  The natural resources of the colonized people were confiscated, the people were evicted, then exploitation was promoted without compromise with the nation owning the natural resources.  Colonized peoples are made alienated and economically powerless so that they are subject to the production and distribution of goods and services owned by the colonials.

3. POWER EXPANSION

This is a colonial strategy of conquest to strengthen regional control colonies by opening and expanding their administrative, colonial areas.  Formation of regions: newly expanded divisions and divided as small as possible.  Then the law and all rules are tightened to control and dominate.  Colonized peoples are recruited to become officials in order to forget their fate as colonized people.

4. MIGRATION OF COLOR CITIZENS

The goal of colonialism is to take  over the territory.  So large-scale shipments of colonial citizens were carried out. Because they were the ones who, in quantity and quality, would conquer the colonized people and support the programs of the colonial rulers.  In the end, the conquered territories will be claimed as their nation, so that with their racist superiority they feel fully entitled.

5. EXTERMINATION OF HISTORY & CULTURE

The invaders will try to destroy it history and culture of the colonized peoples submissive to the invaders.  All values, norms, language, customs, and political history are prohibited from being displayed in public spaces in social life.  Then it was replaced with the colonialist's popular culture.  The conquered peoples were forced to memorize and respect the history and culture of the colonizing peoples.

6. DESTROY MORALITY

The fastest way of conquest is to destroy consciousness. So that the invaders destroy the morale of the colonized people through drinking, prostitution, gambling, and useless riots.  

He knows that alcohol and sex are a quick way to destroy a colonized nation so that it does not exist and is easily conquered.  In order for the productive sectors to be controlled by the colonizers and the colonized people truly surrender.

7. DIVISION CONNECTION

The invaders will break up the defense force colonized peoples in conflicts division created by the occupiers.  Fighting against sheep, wars between religions, wars between clans, tribes, and groups in captivity.

The colonized peoples were kept busy fighting each other in the colonial political packages given for example expansion, positions, parties, elections, etc.  This was done so that the colonized people would not be aware, unite and fight against the invaders.

8. COLONIAL LEGAL REPRESSION

In the colonies, the voices of criticism and.

This struggle was silenced and repressed with law.  The people who fight against the colonialists will be accused of treason, separatism, criminals or terrorists.  If they were not killed, they were unjustly arrested and imprisoned under colonial criminal articles.  Also, if the people defend their rights to customary land, customary forests, and all their rights, they will be confronted with colonial laws that protect rulers and entrepreneurs (companies).  ?

 

9. INFORMATION CONTROL

Media, education, and all public spaces are controlled and controlled to influence the perceptions of the colonized people.  The goal is for the colonized people to justify and strengthen the narrative of the colonial rulers.  All the propaganda and stigma against the colonized people was launched so that the colonized people blamed themselves and their fellow nations, so that the colonized people felt they needed colonialists.

10. STRENGTHEN FOREIGN ALLIES

Colonialism broke the International Law.  However to maintain its illegality, the invaders.  need the support of foreign countries by offering the economic benefits of their colonies to foreign countries.  Global power is controlled to cover up the engineering of colonialism and then strengthens natural resource investment relations in the colonized areas and military assistance.  So that the international support the colonial conquest.

His conclusion: Indonesian colonialism colonized the West Papuan people not because of human resources but because they wanted to control the natural resources in Papua's paradise.

Experts recommend military withdrawal from West Papua region

ABC News – By Catherine Graue on Pacific Beat

Calls for the West Papua region to be granted independence continued this week as activists took to the streets in various Australian cities, calling for the Federal government to support an independence referendum.

Melanesians who call the region home have been pushing for independence for decades.

A referendum was held in July 1969, overseen by the United Nations.

It was called the Act of Free Choice but it has been heavily criticised.

Hugh Lunn, an Australian journalist who was on the ground reporting for the Reuters news agency during the 1969 referendum, is among those critics.

“I thought it would be a vote. What a fool I was. Under the UN, it was note a vote. They specially selected 1025 people, in the eight provincial capitals and told them they had to make the decision,” Mr Lunn told Pacific Beat.

“They all voted for staying part of Indonesia, but as I was walking through the fair, people stuck letters under my arm, one of them was addressed to the ‘nicest man in Merauke’, and they said ‘this is all a farce, we’re scared to say anything, no one knows what to do'”.

The West Papua region is actually two provinces, Papua and West Papua, that make up the western half on New Guinea island, and has previously also been known as Irian Jaya.

It officially became part of Indonesia after that vote, and since then, there have been continuous reports of violent crackdowns and human rights abuses committed by Indonesian authorities, particularly its military, against pro-independence supporters.

The Indonesian government says it has been paying special attention to the human rights issues.

Since coming to power in 2014, President Joko Widodo has made economic and infrastructure development a priority, which is something experts like Cahyo Pamungkas say is important to help stem the conflict.

He is a researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, and has conducted extensive field research on West Papua.

But he says that economic and infrastructure development won’t resolve the violence, because there are still limited benefits to the Melanesian population.

Mr Pamungkas and his colleagues recently visited the Indonesian Presidential office to deliver their recommendations on how best to approach the issue of West Papua, ahead of the national election in April.

“The government should cancel the military operations, or withdraw the troops and police from the central mountains, because it increases the potency for human right abuse. There is no other option,”
