End The Suffering Of Our People Through Peaceful Dialogue

Port Vila, 4th January 2010
Peace Greeting and Happy New Year 2010
We appreciate to all freedom fighters and supporters wherever you are for your contribution to struggle for independence of the people of West Papua
We thank you our lord for your kindness and protection so that we are still survive and under your guide we will continue our just struggle in the new year of 2010.
The world community knows that West Papua is under controlled by one of most repressive and brutal military regime. However, the occupation forces have not yet able to destroy our spirits and will power of the struggle for independence of West Papua.
2.5 million Papuans, Melanesian race have faced worst experiences ever since the colonial power occupied our beloved country, West Papua.
The world knows that the criminal acts and cruelties of the Indonesian colonial power. More than 100,000 West Papuan civilians and many Westerners have been killed by Indonesian military. These cruelties have completely against humanity. We condemn such crimes against humanity. The occupation forces must take full responsibility for their crimes.
Dear fellow countrymen and women, the scarifications and suffering of our people of West Papua on daily basis becomes public knowledge making our heard and soul painful when these immorality acts of the terrorist state of the republic of Indonesia imposed on us on the daily life.
Spirits of patriotism in the struggle for justice, peace and freedom has broken down through extra judicial killings of true freedom fighters perpetrated by the occupation forces.
However, we must take strong in faith to achieve our independent dream. In the fact, well-respected national hero, the late General Kelly Kwalik, the Highest Supreme Commander of National Liberation Army of West Papua, was killed by Indonesian military on 16 of December 2009 during doing his duty.
The murder of General Kwalik is violation against the ethic code of human rights. It was one of the ways of colonial to destroy the great ideal of national liberation for West Papua. We are strongly believe that even though one General Kwalik had been killed but on his chest will grow up thousands of Kwalik who will continue his path in the struggle. His name will be remembered in history of West Papuan and will be making fragrant in the future.
We are well aware that any one who talks about independence of West Papua becomes obvious target of gun of the occupation forces, which regard to be main enemy terrorist state of Indonesia.
The use of violate will never solve the current problem in West Papua. Using non-violation approach, Papuans can defeat the colonial power.
The rights to self-determination are principally the basic rights of the Papuans. The Papuans should also enjoy that right as other peoples around the world do.
Meanwhile a successful independence indeed no needs a bloody war but through peaceful means such ideal may come through. An independent West Papua must respect and uphold basic democratic principles and human rights values in accordance with international human rights laws, United Nations charters, and other United Nation resolutions and conventions.
Let shows the world that settlement of the long-standing conflict should be done just, peacefully, consciously and prosperously manners.
On behalf of International Youth Coalition for the Liberation of West Papua, the leadership has given full support to the West Papuan and Indonesian peace initiatives. We strongly believe that of being endorsed a peaceful negotiation is one of right ways in settling long ongoing conflict in West Papua.
Jakarta- Papua dialogue in West Papua is a new paradigm of conflict resolution in the global political dynamic which was proclaimed by religious leaders with granted a motto “West Papua is land of Peace”.
Dear All freedom fighter. The world is full aware the Papuans have passed a long period struggle and sacrificed million of souls of innocent West Papuans. Our natural resources spoiled out by the colonial states and it was causing massive environmental destructions in the beloved homeland. Therefore, we can never stop waiting an independence coming suddenly without working hard from ourselves.
Independence is not a gift that just gave by somebody or other nations but there needs at lot energy and effort of each person of West Papuan to achieve what we want. The independence is from us, by us, and to us, not like from them, by them, and to them.
This opportunity, on behalf of International Youth Coalition for the Liberation of West Papua, the leadership urge all components for resistant movements wherever you are working together and uniting to endorse and supporting a national independence initiatives that promoted by West Papua National Coalition for Liberation (WPCNL), which is a main umbrella organization that was established under Vanuatu government endorsement two years ago.
At the end of this message, let me take this opportunity to urge you all, West Papuan people and supporters that:
1. Let’s us support the whole process of peaceful process of Jakarta-Papua Dialogue, which sponsored by West Papuan and Indonesian peace promoters.
2. Let’s us support all policies and programs of West Papua National Coalition for Liberation (WPCNL) by providing moral, material and financial aid.
3. Let’s us support internal reconciliation meeting for all leaders of political factions within national liberation movement of West Papua in the middle of this year, which will be coordinated by WPNCL and its partners.
Only through uniting together, well cooperation and working hard, Papuan dream may come through the following years.
God Bless our independence struggle
