Gen. A. Tabi: Sebenarnya WPRA Tidak Termasuk Mendirikan ULMWP, Justru TPN PB OPM Yang Mendirikannya

  • Lalu apa yang terjadi selanjutnya pada tahun ini?
  • Mengapa TPN PB OPM pimpinan Sebby Sambom dan Jeffry Pagawak justru menolak ULMWP dan meneror pada petinggi ULMWP?

General WPRA Amunggut Tabi menyatakan pembentukan Undang-Undang Dasar Sementara (UUDS) untuk Negara Republik West Papua (NRWP), yang sementara ini digiring oleh United Liberation Movement for West papua (ULMWP) ialah sesuatu yang menarik dan harus disambut baik oleh semua pihak yang bercita-cita mendirikan NRWP yang merdeka dan berdaulat penuh.

Gen. Tabi mengatakan sebenarnya dari awal WPRA atau TRWP tidak termasuk dalam pembentukan ULMWP. Yang membentuk ULMWP itu ialah sayap politik dari komando TPN PB OPM (Seby Sambom dan Jeffry Pagawak), DM TPN/OPM (Jonah Wenda dan WPNCL) dan TNPB dari NRFPB. Free West Papua Campaign di bawah komando WPRA oleh Hon. Benny Wenda tidak terlibat dalam proses Saralana Declaration.

Gen. Tabi meneruskan,

“Kami di luar proses itu. Kami tidak terlibat. Alasannya karena kami tidak diundang, dan juga karena ada oknum yang kami curigai yang termasuk dalam proses ini sehingga kami memilih untuk tidak melibatkan diri.

Saat ditanyakan “Siapa oknum dimaksud?”, maka Tabi menjawab, oknum dimaksud bukan karena hal negatif, tetapi karena WPRA tahu bahwa kehadiran oknum dimaksud sudah dapat mewakili aspirasi WPRA.

Saat ditanya apakah pernah merencanakan untuk menolak ULMWP, Gen. Tabi mengatakan

“Kami sudah buat Surat Penolakan ULMWP, dan juga sudah disiapkan langkah politik untuk menggagalkan ULMWP.

Akan tetapi, lanjut Tabi, “atas perintah dari Mathias Wenda, Chief Genera WPRA, maka langkah itu dihentikan untuk ‘wait-and-see’, dan akhirnya kami memaksakan diri bergabung dengan ULMWP”

Melanesia.News menanyakan mengapa ada kata “memaksakan diri bergabung dengan ULMWP?”, Gen. Tabi menjawab,

Karena kami tidak diundang dan yang lebih penting karena kami bertindak sebagai penyeimbang, sambil menunggu proses lanjutan. Tetapi setelah kami membaca Konstitusi ULMWP, maka kami temukan ada hal-hal yang bisa dicapai dengan konstitusi itu, oleh karena itu kami diperintahkan Panglima Komando Revolusi untuk menindak-lanjuti dan mencari peluang untuk kami terlibat di dalamnya.

Ditanyakan siapa yang dimaksudkan dengan “kami” di sini? Maka dijawab “Kami dari Free West Papua Campaign“, pendiri dan ketuanya Hon. Benny Wenda sebagai Sekretaris-Jenderal dari Dewan Musyawarah Masyarakat Adat Koteka (DeMMAK)..

Tabi melanjutkan,

Siapapun orang Papua, baik yang hadir ataupun tidak hadir dalam pendirian ULMWP, baik yang masuk maupun tidak masuk dalam ULMWP, semua OAP hanya menginginkan satu hal, dan sepanjang siapapun yang dapat mewujudkan satu hal itu, maka orang Papua hanya berterimakasih dan beryukur kepada Allah.

Mau bendera berapa bintang, mau organisasi berjuang berapa lama, mau tokohnya siapa, orang Papua tidak memperdulikan. Orang Papua terdesak untuk harus keluar dari belenggu iblis yang mematikan nyawa orang Papua satu per satu, dan akhirnya memusnahkan ras Melanesia.

Melanesia.News menceritakan tentang ancaman yang ditebar oleh TPN PB OPM lewat media-media online dan media sosial, Gen. Tabi menjawab,

Itu tidak benar, itu bukan orang Papua yang buat begitu. Orang Papua punya sejarah perang suku di masa lalu. Tetapi selama 50 tahun terakhir orang Papua telah bersatu-padu secara roh dan emosi. Semua orang Papua hanya berdoa supaya NKRI keluar dari Tanah Papua. Tidak ada kebencian dan tidak ada teror di antara orang Papua. Cerita saling mencelakakan yang pernah terjadi pada generasi lampau itu disebabkan karena orang tua kami tidak paham permainan intelijen Indonesia. Sekarang kita sudah paham, kita sudah tamat dari situ.

Jadi, ancam-mengancam antara orang Papua sama sekali tidak ada saat ini. Semua orang Papua sangat menghargai satu sama lain dan semua orang Papua adalah orang Kristen yang tunduk kepada Hukum Kasih: yaitu kasih kepada Tuhan Allah dan Kasih kepada Sesama Manusia seperti kasih kepada diri sendiri.

Rumusnya jelas, jangan kacaukan rumus itu. Perampok dan pembunuh bangsa Papua hanya satu piha, dari satu arah: NKRI, orang Indonesia. Jangan tuduh adik-adik dan anak-anak Papua sebagai penebar teror

Gen. WPRA A. Tabi: There is No Struggle without Internal Conflict, So Do these 3 Things to Celebrate Life

The only way to end the internal conflict is to “stop from struggle” or the most extreme one is to “end” this life. Death is the beginning of peace, and birth is the beginning of conflict.

I mean conflict in a positive way, the act of balancing, of pulling and pushing, of up and down, of day and night, or male and female, of pros and cons, of sad and happy, and so on.

Gen. Tabi said there should be persons or groups that do not agree and even refuse the existence and activities of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP). We should not consider this as a problem, but we have to treat it as a task of this life to go through.

In other words, Tabi says if there is no dynamic of push – pull, up-down, like-dislike in whatever we do then you need to question “Am I alive? Am I doing something or not doing anything?”

So, he explains, when anyone disagrees with you, the first thing to do is “to thank God!”, for this life that you have does not belong to you, but you are just having this life right now, given by God, and He will take this life away from the body we have right now.

Thank Him for this life! Thank for ULMWP! thank for what we do in this life! Thank for what others are doing to us! Thank for all of it!

Then, the second thing to do is “send petition to God of what is happening right now, why and what you think about it.” If someone wants to attack you, or gossiping about you, or talking good things about you and praise you, then you must do the same thing to both parties, “Thank God and tell God about what is happening”.

Tell him everything and be glad God hears your prayers.

One important thing to remember is that the final decision should come from God. We only send petitions to Him. It is His will that should be and always be done on this life. Acknowledge this Law of Nature, the absolute Truth of God and accept it.

The third thing you should do is “forgive and forget everybody> Forgive and forget those who love, praises you! Forgive and forget those who hate, gossip and threatens you”. You forgive all, and forget all, without sentiments, without discrimination.

Tabi concinues, once you forgive and forget, both the ones that make you proud and happy and those who make you feel sad, unhappy and angry, then you will be become part of the pull-push, drag-push, up-down, bad-god, sad-happy mood and you become free from all, and become still and become pure.

You will not in a mode of fighting against the reality, but rather one of the participants in the pulse. You become yourself, not the self that others said about you or to you, and even not as you think about yourself.

If you try to act against or re-act on the opposite direction, then you are actually creating trouble for yourselves. When you pull something, you must accept that there will be push. At the time you throw a ball up, then you must know that the ball will fall down. When you do good things on this life, you must accept that there will be negative side of it. When you do your best to your people, be sure that there will be people who will not be thankful, but conversely will mock you.

That only thing we can be certain about in this life is that everything is self-balancing, automatically pulses. There is no life without pulsation, the balancing act according to the law of nature, law of life. When there is no one is against you or for you, then you must understand and accept that in fact you are not doing anything at all. There is no life in you! You are dead!

So celebrate life! Life is about struggle, moving, flowing, welcoming and refusing, happy and unhappy, worried and certain, calm and nervous, angry and love, …

Just welcome it! Just accept it. Just smile to it! Just celebrate this life!

This is the voice of the “Revolutionary Army”, that is, the revolution of the way to picture yourself, and the way you picture your world based on your self-image. This is the essence of the West Papua Revolutionary Army)

Mengapa 1 Juli 1971 Yang Dipilih?

Oleh C. Ruhukail di FB

Generasi Muda Papua pasti bertanya …… Mengapa Proklamasi Negara Republik Papua Barat dilakukan atau terjadi bukan pada bulan Desember, Oktober, February atau Maret, TETAPI pada bulan July, dan tanggal satu (1 Juli)?

Jika anda lahir pada bulan July 1971 atau setelah itu, maka anda hanya akan mendengar atau membaca dari catatan2 sejarah perjuangan Papua Barat bahwa di saat itu, ada dua tokoh orang Papua yang mengukir sejarah Bangsa Papua Barat, yaitu: Brigadir Jenderal Seth Jafet Rumkorem (alm), dan Tuan Jacob Hendrik Prai yang kini bermukim di Malmo, Swedia.

Dua putra Papua terbaik ini bergabung dan membentuk Pemerintahan Revolusi Sementara (PRS) pada tahun 1971 dan memproklamirkan Negara Republik Papua Barat pada tanggal 1 Juli 1971. Baik tanggal 1, maupun bulan Juli-nya juga tahun 1971nya dipilih karena satu hal: yaitu bahwa Irian Barat/Irian Jaya setelah Pepera-1969 yang pemilihannya melalui Dewan Musyawarah Pepera (DMP) yang diwakili hanya oleh 1025 orang wakil, sedang dipersiapkan untuk ikut dalam Pemilihan Umum 1971 yang dimulai pada tanggal 3 Juli. Oleh karena Pemilihan Umum (Pemilu) yang pertama kali di Irian Jaya itu jatuh pada tanggal 3 Juli, maka Rumkorem (Presiden) dan Prai (Ketua Senat) serta Anggota Kbinet waktu itu memilih 1 Juli (dua hari dimuka Pemilu itu) untuk memproklamasikan kemerdekaan Negara Republik Papua Barat dan menyatakan kepada dunia bahwa orang Papua bukan bagian dari bangsa Indonesia sehingga tidak punya hak untuk mengikuti Pemilu tanggal 3 Juli 1971 itu.

Dari catatan sejarah kita tahu bahwa baik Pembentukan Pemerintahan yang disebut PEMERINTAHAN REVOLUSI SEMENTARA Negara Republik Papua Barat dan Naskah Proklamasi dilaksanakan sesuai dengan nasehat dari Tuan Nicolaas Jouwe (alm) yang ketika itu menjabat sebagai Ketua NLC (National Liberation Council) yang tanpa Surat Keputusan (hanya secara lisan) menunjuk/mengangkat Rumkorem sebagai Presiden dan Jacob Prai sebagai Ketua Senat. 

Jadi mengapa 1 July dan bukan 1 Desember 1971? 1 July dipilih karena Proklamasi itu harus dibaca atau diumumkan dimuka pelaksanaan Pemilihan Umum Indonesia yang pertama di Irian Barat/Irian Jaya, 3 July 1971.

Pada prinsipnya, Proklamasi 1 Juli terjadi sebagai penolakan bangsa Papua terhadap Pelaksanaan Act of Free Choice (Pepera-1969) yang tidak adil/tidak jujur dan tidak sesuai dengan isi dari New York Agreement ‘One Man One Vote’. 

Begitu penjelasan tentang 1 July 1971 yang dipilih oleh Rumkorem dan Prai sebagai Hari Proklamasi Negara Republik Papua Barat.

Three Poisons in Free West Papua Campaigns (2)

General WPRA Amunggut Tabi stated in one of the briefings to his troops at the Central Headquarters of West Papua Revolutionary Army (WPRA) at Yako Village, Papua New Guinea that there are three poisons that have destroyed our campaigns to free West Papua, namely egoism, gossiping, and fear.

We have discussed the first poison in previous article. Now we look into the second poison called “Nabok-Kabok”, which literally means, talking about you and at the same time talking about me. This is the first social poison, stems from the first personal poison: ego.

The second Poison is called “Nabok-Kabok” and “Nebi-Kebi”

In Lani language of West Papua we call “nabok-kabok” telling bad stories about other people.’meaning “gossiping”, talking about fellow human, and talking about others without any clear basis and facts, we just gossip around, baseless talk about other human beings. We spread hatred, suspicion and create tensions by spreading wrong or baseless information about other people and about what they are doing.

The Lani concept of “gossip” literally means I spread gossips about you and you also spread gossips about me. There is reciprocal dynamic, cause and effect, give and receive, natural act of balancing occurring automatically.

There is hatred in gossip and there is lie in gossip, both caused by “an-an”, the previous poison that we already discussed. Gossip is groundless, baseless information about something against someone. The purpose of gossiping is to undermine someone that were are gossiping about, and demean whatever they do and even whoever they are.

In addition to lie and hatred in gossiping, there is also an element of slander in gossiping, i.e, spreading false information about someone else or something. Most gossip contain slander, but there are also gossip that contain truth. The problem here is the purpose of gossiping, not on whether or not the information is true or false.

In Lani language, it is called “nabok-kabok“, which means psychologically, that when I am telling stories about others, I am also telling stories about myself to others. In other words, by gossiping, I am showing to others who I am. If I am telling bad stories about others in my gossip, then I am as bad as the gossip. If I am a dog, I will bark, I will not whistle. Just as simple as that. If I have a problem, I will always talk about problems.

Nabok-Kabok in Free West Papua Campaign

There is no time to mention gossiping among West Papuan leaders, activists and organisations that has been happening along our independence struggle, but we want to focus on what is happening right now, per October 2020.

  1. There is gossip from the ULMWP that Octovianus Motte does not like and does not accept Benny Wenda as the chair of the ULMWP Executives, and therefore, he is creating and organising other groups against the ULMWP in general and Benny Wenda.
  2. There is gossip that Indonesia is using TPN PB OPM to destroy ULMWP and Free West Papua Campaign, and at the same time, TPN PB OPM also blame that ULMWP is an Indonesian sponsored organisation that aims at stopping West Papua from gaining independence.
  3. There is gossip that West Papua Army is an Indonesian sponsored military command, and at the same time all commanders who joined the West Papua Army blame the TPN PB OPM as fully funded by the Indonesian BIN and Kopassus.
  4. There is gossip that the “14-Stars Group” or NRFPB is already in full control of the ULMWP and that at the end of the day a free and independent West Papua will not be The Republic of West Papua but it will be The Republic of West Melanesia.
  5. There is also gossip that Buktar Tabuni and Lukas Enembe already signed agreement in order to accept dialogue to be conducted between Indonesia and Jakarta.
  6. There is gossip that Jeffry Bomanak is fully paid by Indonesia, he gets his salaries from Indonesian consulate in Vanimo and Port Moresby. Likewise there is also gossip that WPRA and WPA are fully paid by Indonesia through various business activities carried out in West Papua.
  7. There is gossip that Menase Tabuni dan Markus Haluk are paid by Indonesia inside the ULMWP in order to stop West Papua from gaining full independence.

The list can continue to hundreds and even thousands of gossips spreading around Melanesians in West Papua. We call all these “gossips”, and many of them contain slander or defamation

Defamation (also known as calumny, vilification, libel, slander or traducement) is the oral or written communication of a false statement about another that unjustly harms their reputation and usually constitutes a tort or crime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation

“Nabok-Kabok” nen apuluk/ agaluk “Nebi-Kebi Endake”: Gossiping brings about Divisions

Free West Papua Campaign is full of slander, baseless and even false accusations that costed so many lives in the hands of fellow Melanesians. We have spent more time and energy spreading rumours and gossiping about each other than talking about Indonesia and what they are doing against our struggle.

Free West Papua Campaign without slander, rumours and gossiping will cost us less time, less energy, less money, and no lives.

Gossiping has divided us up. Gossiping has destroyed us personally and our groups. Gossiping has poisoned this holy and morally, democratically, legally and spiritually justifiable struggle.

Yes, the result of gossiping is division. And division is the goal of the Satan, Lucifer. As we recall the Biblical story, we see the Lucifer’s ambition to become the same as God has failed. His work to colonise human beings also failed because Jesus has died on the cross and has risen from the death, and has ascended to have, and have promised to come back to judge and throw him and his followers to hell, and take all believers to heaven.

Whenever there is gossiping, of course there is division. We recall the Biblical history. When Lucifer came to Eve, he started gossiping about God, by twisting some words from the Bible, which caused Eve to twist and then misinterpret the outcome of falling into the Devil’s trap. This gossiping aused deadliest separation between God and men. Human race fell into sin and became separated from God.

The Bible in Genesis 1:1-3 records the conversation between Eve and Lucifer as follows

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’ ”
2 The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”…

<https://biblehub.com/genesis/3-2.htm&gt;

The question from Lucifer added “any tree” even though God only said “only one tree” that human should never eat. In reply, Eve said, “…you must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die”. God never said anything about touching it, He spoke about eating it. There are additions to the truth. This brought about sin. This brought about division between God and human race.

Exactly the same pattern operates today in our lives, particularly in our campaigns to Free West Papua. When we add ingredients to our cooking, then the taste of the food changes from its original pure taste into new taste, from united, loving and kindness in Jesus Christ, as fellow human beings and fellow Melanesians into division hatred and even threat to each other.

What a game we are in!

Psychologically, the basis for gossiping is still the same, “the ego”. We are in service to our own ego

And the outcome of gossiping is also the same “we fall into sin”, we commit sin, we become sinners. It divides us up, it indicates that we are not trustworthy, it shows that we are murderer, we have wickedness in our hearts, we are full of hatred against others.

And the outcome of gossiping is we exhaust our energy, we waste our energy and finally we reach nothing but hatred, division and failure.

  • Egocentric person or leader will be happy and will make gossiping as the his/ hear staple food.
  • Egocentric person or leader will be happy to see his competitor get nothing, his/ her opponent is kicked out or disliked or hated by others.
  • Egocentric person or leader will start his discussions by pointing problems and mistakes committed by his opponents or his potential competitor.

“Ego” is the source of slander and gossip. Ego is the mother of gossiping. Spreading unsubstantiated and false information about others serves the ego of the person spreading it, talking about it, and enjoying it.

In other words, anybody or any leader who are not egocentric will never spread rumours and engaged in gossiping about other leaders, fellow Independence fighters.

“Nabok-Kabok” is a Social Decease, Stems from Personal Poison Called “Ego”

It was mentioned before that “gossiping” is a poison, but it is actually a disease. “a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms or that affects a specific location…” <https://languages.oup.com/google-dictionary-en/&gt;

The famous Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, “A disease is a particular abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of all or part of an organism, and that is not due to any immediate external injury.” <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease&gt;

“Nabok-Kabok” is a social decease, stems from poison number 1: the “ego”. It is a personal poison, that produces a social poison called “nabok-kabok”.

The outcome of this disease creates a new poison called “slander, rumours and gossip”. So gossip become poison when the people who gossip become addicted to it, and then become used to gossiping, and finally they “enjoy gossiping”.

“Nabok-Kabok” Creates “Nabi-Kebi” as is the Deadliest Social Poison in a Struggle for Collective Cause

As stated above, Lucifer crated gossip about what God has said about fruits in the Garden. Even also said something in addition to what God really said. This turns and shifting from truth into gossip created division between God and human. The same formula applies to human lives. When we spread rumours, create slanders, start gossiping each other, we are creating a social disease called “division”.

The term “nebi-kebi” in Lani language means, I do not like you and you do not like me, I hate you and you hate me. This creates what Indonesians called “musuh dalam kelambu”, i.e., enemies in our own sleeping nets.

“Nebik-Kebi” comes from the Seed called “Ego”, through the root called “Fear”, into the Stem Called “Nabok-Kabok” that BRINGS ABOUT “DEath”

That is the “death” of human beings, the death of a struggle, death of the collective mission and efforts. Death to the mission, death to the vision, death to the collective struggle, and even death to the persons gossiping.

The cause and effect continues, “nebi-kebi” causes hatred and other destructive and deadly minds, rhetoric and actions. “Nebi-kebi” can cause killing each other among fellow independence fighters.

Now is YOUR JOB Readers

  1. Notice when Benny Wenda speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  2. Notice when Octovianus Motte speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  3. Notice when Chief Gen. WPRA Mathias Wenda speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  4. Notice when Jeffry Pagawak speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  5. Notice when Victor Yeimo speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  6. Notice when Sebby Sambom speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  7. Notice when Egianus Kogeya speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  8. Notice when Nggoliar Tabuni speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  9. Notice when Buktar Tabuni speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody
  10. Notice when any leader speaks to you and make a public statement about anything or anybody

Pay close attention to their choice of words, their attention, their gestures or their logic. Look at what they say,

  • Are they really talking against Indonesia?
  • Are they really talking to free West Papua?
  • Are they doing something else other than the above two?

This to avoid in this kind of exercise are as follows:

  1. Kill your personal and group ego first. If not you will find it hard to accept what is written here. If you find it hard, you must pray to God to forgive and to forget.
  2. Pray for forgiveness, forgive the person who is talking and ask for forgiveness for yourself.
  3. Focus on whether or not the speaker is talking about
    1. “to free West Papua”? or
    2. to fight againt Indonesia”? or
    3. to fight each other among Melanesians ourselves?

Last Note

  • What should be done with the poison of egocentric leader?
  • What should be done with the poison of egocentric military command?
  • What is the third poison?
  • What is the Biblical references to gossip, slander and spreading rumours?
  • What should be done with gossips, rumours and divisions already existing withing Melanesians from West Papua in this struggle for independence from Indonesian neo-colonial rule?

Three Poisons in Free West Papua Campaigns (1)

General WPRA Amunggut Tabi stated in one of the briefings to his troops at the Central Headquarters of West Papua Revolutionary Army (WPRA) at Yako Village, Papua New Guinea that there are three poisons that have destroyed our campaigns to free West Papua, namely egoism, gossiping, and fear.

The first one is the Poison called “An-An”

In Lani language of West Papua it is called “An-an“, i.e., only me, nobody else. Let us remember two stories in the Bible One is the fall of the Lucifer as the Leader of all Praise and Worship before God. And the second is the fall of human race into sin.

Lucifer is the closest Angel to God of all angels. He said, “An Ala nda’ndak arikit!,” mbaregerak, which means he chose by himself, to become the same as God. He said, “I want to become the same as God!” This is called “an-an” or egocentric statement, egocentric ambition.

A second story of poisoning recorded the Bible can be found in Genesis Chapter 3. In the Garden of Eden, when Lucifer came to the first woman namely Eve and said.

5“For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”…

Lucifer implanted the same egocentric disease of “becoming the same as God” from himself to human race. And this poison made Eve fall into sin and she ate the fruit. The story continues, Adam also wanted to become “God” and that was why he also ate the fruit.

This poison of “wanting to become God” is with us all human beings. Psychologically, it is called “ego”. This is why books have been written on how to control, how to address and even how to defeat the self ego before defeating the enemy outside. Ego is seen as the enemy of the self.

Gen. Tabi said egocentric leaders would think the following:

  1. There is nobody else that can do best to free West Papua. Only myself that can free West Papua.
  2. I do not trust anybody else, they are incapable to free West Papua. I am suspicious of those others being paid and used by Indonesia. I only trust myself, therefore, I am the only best person to free West Papua.
  3. This is my effort, my work, my own idea, my concept, my property, therefore, I must be the leader, the commander, the chairman, the president, nobody else to take up this position, because I am the one who brought this struggle to this level of achievements.’
  4. I am the only person in or from West Papua that is capable of doing things I am doing. Nothing will happen like this without me.

With these mindset, they wil say like this in public

  1. I am the Commander in Chief, and I am the only one, nobody else, will free West Papua;
  2. I am the Chair of the ULMWP, and I am the only one, nobody else, will free West Papua; if you replace me, you will not be free from colonialism, so propose whatever arguments to make me be in this position.
  3. We are the only organisation that is capable of freeing West Papua, therefore, any organisation or groups that campaign for West Papua independence must join. Those who do not join us must be wiped out.

Ego is aPosion

Listen, I did not say this is a virus. I did not say this as a disease. But I said, this is a poison. Do you know what poison does?

Here is what Wikipedia, the Free Online Encyclopedia says about poison:

The term “poison” is often used colloquially to describe any harmful substance—particularly corrosive substances, carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens and harmful pollutants, and to exaggerate the dangers of chemicals. …

Similarly, Britanica.com definis poison as follows

Poison, in biochemistry, a substance, natural or synthetic, that causes damage to living tissues and has an injurious or fatal effect on the body, whether it is ingested, inhaled, or absorbed or injected through the skin.

Egocentric is a harmful substance in a collective struggle for collective goal such as Free West Papua Campaign. When everybody within the struggle are strongly attached to the struggle, then it becomes so personal, so egocentric and thus so destructive.

It is a “bio” and “chemistry”, it exists in living being, (bio) and it is chemical.It causes damage to living tissues. Egocentric individuals, egocentric leaders are poisonous. They destroy living tissues in a struggle.

A strong ego is important for self-confidence and strong leadership, but too much egoism is a poison.

Now, look inside you

Look at the military commanders in West Papua, look at the chair of the leaders within Free West Papua Campaign such as

  1. The Leader of the Parliament,
  2. The Leader of the ULMWP Exectutives,
  3. The Leader of the OPM,
  4. The President/ Prime Minister of the NRFPB,
  5. the Chair/ Leaders of the KNPB, and others.

If you are one of those who do not want to follow the constitution of your organisations and want to prolong your leadership term, then you should acknowledge that you are egocentric leader.

Gen. Tabi continues,

If you are one of those who never change your position and always stay there for more than 10 years, then you are a poisonous fighter. And that egocentric leader is a poison in your your own struggle to free your country and people. The one defeating you is inside you, not outside you!.

So first, you attach every success and progress made so far in the history of West Papua independence movement to yourself, to the ego that is inside you.

And second, you, therefore, defend your ego as the “only one” that can finally free West Papua, and therefore, you want to become the chair, the spokesperson, the commander, the top leader for so long, over the your term. You make efforts to serve your egocentric leadership. Remember that by doing this, you become a poison in the overall movement.

  • What should be done with the poison of egocentric leader?
  • What should be done with the poison of egocentric military command?
  • What are the second and third poisons?

“West Papua Constitution Must be in Effect before Special Autonomy Law Ends”, says Gen. Tabi

Gen. WPRA Amunggut Tabi from Central Defence Headquarters of West Papua Army says the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of West Papua must be ready towards the end of the Special Autonomy Law and before Indonesia legalizes the Special Autonomy Law III from January 1, 2121.

Special Autonomy Law I began on 1 May 1963, when the United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA) handed over West Irian to Indonesia and Indonesia promised the United Nations and the Netherlands that Indonesia will build West Papua within 25 years, then Indonesia will allow a referendum for self-determination be conducted.

This law ended 14 December 1988, this was why Dr. Thomas Wapai Wainggai proclaimed the Independence of West Papua Country.

Special Autonomy II started on 1 December 2001, based on UU Otsus No. 21/2001 which was legalised in November 2001 by Megawati Sukarnoputri. This special autonomy law is effective for 20 years, therefore, it will end this year (2020).

Special Autonomy III will begin from 2021.

This is why West Papua Indepdendence movement organisation such as TPN PB OPM under Jeffry Bomanak or ULMWP under Benny Wenda must make sure that West Papua has a formal constitution, recognized and accepted by many parties in West Papua and the people of West PApua in order to apply into the region of the Republic of West Papua.

When asked about his position on Jeffry Bomanak, Gen. Tabi says it is not time anymore to talk about differences within West Papuan people.

“We have wasted to a lot of valuable time in thinking and talking about internal frictions and this make us have no energy and no time to even think about how to fight Indonesian, let alone the actual fighting,

All Melanesians in West Papua are now focusing on Special Autonomy Law and West Papua independence. We are all one One People – One Soul, we are only different in approaches and methods to gain independence, but the people and the goal or soul just one and the same for all of us

Only Indonesia and her supporters want to call this differences as factionalism and internal conflicts.

says Tabi.

He emphasizes that ULMWP or OPM must have a clear, legitimate, publicly recognized constitution for West Papua, clear and legitimate government established based on this constitution and announce this to the world. This constitution and government should go international and seek recognition from global community.

Tabi says, “This is the only way forward on the table. No more bloodshed, no more bloody conflicts. We want to resolve problems in a civilized manner”.

Asked about the statement from former Vice-President of Indonesia that wants to hold dialogues with all parties in West Papua, Gen. Tabi says he has no capacity and no duty to talk anything political. He proposes MELANESIA.news to ask Benny Wenda or Jeffery Bomanak.

When MELANESIA.news asked Gen. Tabi whether or not he is happy with what the ULMWP is doing with West Papua Army (WPA), he says, “Surely my Commander-in-Chief, Gen. WPRA Mathias Wenda is not so happy. I am so unhappy. Almost all military commands in West Papua are unhappy.”

Asked whether or not WPA will approach TPN PB OPM under Jeffry Bomay, Gen. Tabi says no answer this far, but at least all commands campaigning for West Papua independence have one ancestral line, one nation, one goal: to free West Papua from colonialism.

Gen. WPRA Amunggut Tabi: Why Does the ULMWP Let West Papua Army with No Commander for over 12 Months?

Gen. WPRA Amunggut Tabi has questioned the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULWMP) for not announcing the Commander in Chief of the military command that has been formed almost two years ago in the WPRA (West Papua Revolutionary Army) Headquarters in Yako Village, Sandaun Province, the independent State of Papua New Guinea.

He says the delay in announcing the commander in chief has shown to the world that the ULMWP is playing with the suffering and struggles of all Melanesians in West Papua.

Melanesians in West Papua are being terrorized, oppressed, imprisoned and arrested arbitrarily, and even killed, almost on the daily basis. West Papua Army should be responsible to organize guerrilla warfare against the human rights violations in West Papua, but it has been paralyzed and imprisoned, cannot do anything other than waiting for the ULMWP to announce the commander-in-chief and organisational structure with the constitution that legalizes and protects its military campaigns.

Gen. Tabi argues that if the ULMWP believes that military campaign is important for any independence movement in the world, then it would have announced the commander right on the spot, when they were holding the meeting. But they are playing politics, that is why it is taking more than 12 months to announce it.

After the ULMWP Summit for military wing, the ULMWP announced to the world that a military wing was formed from various military commands and united under the ULMWP However it never announced the commander of the united military command.

Why?

There are three possible answers:

  1. Answer number one : the ULMWP does not believe military campaign will solve the problem. It focuses more on political campaign and by diplomacy only Indonesia will end its control over West Papua. ULMWP believes that only by becoming the MSG member, by pushing the MSG and PIF leaders that will allow Indonesia to surrender.
  2. Answer number two: the ULMWP does not know what to do with the outcome of the Summit almost two years ago. The ULMWP does not understand how important it is to make the military command and military commander clear, because West Papua is still struggling for independence.
  3. Answer number three: the Indonesian secret agents have infiltrated into the ULMWP and the ULMWP is now under full control of the Indonesian agents.

There are many more possible answers, but Gen. Tabi says these three possible answers can help us to act or react as we progress from time to time.

We must stop thinking that ULMWP will finally free West Papua. From what it is doing so far, one can easily raise suspicion on its conduct. Only God is the omnipotent that can free us from any kinds and forms of colonialism, Jesus is the Only Peson on earth that says “I am the Way, I am the Truth and I am the Life”, He is the Most High Revolutionary Commander of all times, only the Holy Spirit has the power and can change the history on earth.We must pray more, surrender more and more to God.

West Papua Revolutionary Army is waiting to see if the ULMWP is serious about a free and independent West Papua, whether or not the ULMWP regards military command and military structure is crucial in an independent campaign against mighty militaristic government of Indonesia. If not, the Commander in Chief of the WPRA, Gen. WPRA Mathias Wenda is ready to take control of the overall independence movement.

Indonesia Memasuki Era Transformasi Budaya Global

By:Kristian Griapon, 16 Oktober 2020

Era reformasi yang terjadi dan dimulai di Indonesia sejak rezim orde baru di tumbangkan pada tahun 1998, telah membawa sebagian rakyat Indonesia pada suatu perubahan pola pandang terhadap tatanan kehidupan yang modernisme dan kritis. Perubahan itu bertumbuh dan berkembang mengikuti perkembangan jaman, disesuaikan dengan dilai-nilai peradaban universal, yaitu

“manusia ditempatkan sebagai manusia, bukan robot, atau binatang yang harus dikendalikan sepenuhnya oleh kekuasaan negara untuk kepentingan penguasa. Dan manusia mempunyai kedudukan yang tinggi sesuai kodratnya yang harus dilindungi, dihormati, dijunjung tinggi, dan dijamin harkat dan martabatnya dalam kehidupan bernegara”.

Negara merupakan pemahaman dari bentuk tatanan kehidupan modern, yang terbentuk diatas kepentingan suatu kelompok etnis dan budaya, bertujuan untuk melindungi dan memberikan jaminan pemenuhan terhadap kebutuhan dasar penduduk yang menjadi warga negaranya tanpa pengecualian, yang meliputi: “Keamanan, Kebebasan, Ketertiban, Keadilan, dan Kesejahteraan”.

Indonesia sejak merdeka menjadi sebuah negara, telah dijadikan ranah perebutan kekuasaan, baik itu ditingkat elit kekuasaan di Pusat maupun di daerah, sehingga kepentingan rakyat diabaikan. Dan para elit politik di Indonesia mempunyai jaringan yang kuat dari pusat hingga ke daerah, jaringan itu dibangun melalui partai politik yang mengakomodir berbagai kepentingan golongan didalamnya untuk saling merebut, mempertahankan dan membagi-bagi kekuasaan negara. Dan rakyat Indonesia selama ini telah dijadikan tameng demokrasi semu untuk kepentingan legalitas kekuasaan dari para elit politik itu sendiri.

Yang terjadi saat ini di Indonesia adalah suatu proses dinamika transformasi budaya global, dimana penguasa negara telah panik menghadapinya. Dinamika transformasi budaya global membuka kedok berbagai kepentingan kekuasaan yang selama ini bersembunyi dibalik kekuasaan negara dan mengatas namakan kepentingan rakyat. Kepentingan-kepentingan rakyat itupun mulai bergeser arah kepada rakyat yang sesungguhnya, dan negara yang selama ini dijadikan tameng kekuasaan telah terbuka kedoknya, dan disaksikan langsung oleh rakyat.

Dalam hubungan internasional, Indonesia sebagai suatu negara tidak bisa menghindari dinamika transformasi budaya globlal yang menyentuh berbagai lini kehidupan masyarakat global diatas dasar peradaban nilai-nilai universal, terutama yang berhubungan langsung dengan Hak Asasi Manusia dan Demokrasi.

Dalam konteks RUU Omnibus law cipta kerja yang disahkan secara mendadak menjadi UU RI pada 5 Oktober 2020, dapat dikatakan merupakan bentuk dinamika transformasi budaya global di Indonesia yang di jadikan alasan kuat oleh pemerintah Republik Indonesia untuk menjamin asas keadilan ekonomi di Indonesia dan mengakomodir seluruh kepentingan pemerintah didalamnya.

Pengadopsian RUU Omnibus law cipta kerja menjadi UU, tidak mematuhi asas transparansi, sehingga memunculkan berbagai tanggapan negatif terhadap pengesahannya. Penggunaan Omnibus Law telah banyak dilakukan oleh negara di dunia terutama yang menggunakan tradisi common law system.

Di dunia terdapat dua sistem hukum yakni common law system dan civil law system. Indonesia mewarisi tradisi civil law system.

Omnibus Law sudah diterapkan di AS dan Kanada mulai tahun 1880-an. Di Asia Tenggara ada Vietnam dan Filipina yang telah menerapkan konsep UU Sapu Jagat ini,dan di Indonesia disahkan menjadi UU pada 5 Oktober 2020.

Diharapkan UU Omnibus law cipta kerja 2020 yang telah menciptakan pro-kontra di kalangan masyarakat Indonesia, benar-benar menjamin keadilan terhadap hak-hak seluruh Warga Negara Indonesia, baik yang bersifat individual maupun kelompok, tanpa harus dijadikan alat kekuasaan negara bentuk baru, untuk menindas warga Negara Indonesia.(Kgr)

Probe urged into death of priest in Papua

Australian Associated Press

An Indonesian church group has urged President Joko Widodo to order an independent investigation into the killing of a priest in the rebellious Papua province.

Local church leaders said Yeremia Zanambani was shot dead by Indonesian soldiers who were hunting separatist rebels in Intan Jaya district on Saturday, but police and the military said he was killed by insurgents.

“It is not easy for us to get to the bottom of this,” said the Communion of Churches in Indonesia in a letter to Joko, a copy of which was received by dpa.

“To avoid accusations and counteraccusations, we suggest that an independent fact-finding body be formed,” it said.

The Indonesian Gospel Tabernacle Church in Papua said Zanambani, a priest and theologian by training, was shot by government soldiers while tending to pigs on his farm.

Papua police spokesman Ahmad Kamal confirmed the killing but said the perpetrators were what he called “the armed criminal group,” referring to the rebels.

Last week, two soldiers and another civilian were killed in separate attacks, police said.

The West Papua National Liberation Army, the armed wing of the separatist movement, claimed responsibility for the killings.

It said that the civilian was an informant for security authorities.

Papua has been the scene of a low-level separatist insurgency since the 1960s.

Clashes between separatist rebels and government security forces have intensified after insurgents killed 31 workers who were building a road in Nduga district in December 2018.
