“Kami sebagai negara sesama Asia turut perihatin melihat ini,Saya berharap yang terbaik untuk Bapak Presiden Jokowidodo dapat segera menenangkan suasana dan menyelesaikan masalah ini dengan bijak dan mencegah aksi-aksi yang dapat memecah bela negaranya”
“Namun tidak lepas saya adakan konfrensi pers ini,Saya ingin menegaskan bahwa Pemerintahan kami tidak mau dan tidak mengkhendaki,Jikalau sampai kejadian yang paling kelam terjadi pada tahun 1998 di Indonesia terulang kembali.Dijaman itu telah banyak warga keturunan kami disana diperlakukan secara kejam dan dibunuh.”
“Jika memang Pemerintah gagal melindungi warga keturunan kami disana,dan terulang lagi sejarah kelam itu.Maaf jika kami pemerintah Tiongkok pun akan mencoba menaikkan banding kami ke Badan Persatuan Bangsa-Bangsa untuk mengirimkan pasukan pengamanan kami ke Indonesia,Demi memindahkan keturunan kami disana”
“Serta hubungan dari segi bisnis,perdagangan,bilateral,dan yang lainnya benar-benar akan kami putus dengan Indonesia.Mohon maaf sebelumnya tapi kami juga mempunyai hak untuk melindungi warga keturunan kami dimanapun mereka berada,Jika terjadi penindasan secara sosial dan nyawanya terancam.Tapi tetap dibalik itu semua kami tidak akan mendahului Pemerintahan RI”
theislandsun.com – THE Leader of Free West Papua Movement in Solomon Islands has called on political parties to leave West Papua issue alone.
Speaking to this paper, Mr Samson Faisi said it is disappointing to see a National Leader use West Papua as a reason to topple Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare.
He pointed out that there are many important reasons the political parties put to represent their point but not West Papua.
Mr Faisi said Political Parties should find arguments on failed party policies the current government fail to deliver as their base of argument.
He strongly condemn Sir Nathaniel Waena’s statement in the paper yesterday to support the call for the Prime Minister to step down.
“Leave West Papua out of the political issue, West Papua issue deals with human safety and freedom as a human being we should think again.
“It is disappointing to see national leaders acting childish,” Mr Faisi said.
He said he is also an active member of a Political Party and that such statement not only shame but also cause embracement on the country.
Mr Faisi said the West Papua issues is dealing with safety and freedom of humanity and that leaders should see the real issue rather than talking nonsense.
He said seven countries in the Pacific are behind the fight to free West Papua and it is a shame for Solomon Islands to pick on West Papua as scapegoat in the current Political uphill.
Meanwhile Mr Faisi salutes Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare for his support toward West Papua.

Jayapura, Jubi – Politik pembangunan Indonesia di Papua ikut menjadi pembahasan hangat di konferensi dua hari bertajuk ‘At the Intersection: Pacific Climate Change and Resource Exploitation in West Papua’ di Sydney, Australia.
“Pembangunan di Papua sekarang telah berdampak luar biasa terhadap harkat dan martabat bangsa pribumi atau masyarakat adat Papua,” ujar Emil Kleden yang menyampaikan kesannya atas konferensi yang berlangsung minggu lalu itu kepada Jubi, Rabu (9/11/2016). Emil Kleden salah seorang narasumber dalam konferensi tersebut mewakili NGO Forest People Program (FPP) yang berbasis di Jakarta, Indonesia.
“Dampak ini terutama pada hilangnya sumber-sumber hidup, tidak tersedianya alternatif yang cukup bagi masyarakat Papua asli untuk mempertahankan hidup dan mengembangkan ekonomi mereka,” ujar Emil yang pada kesempatan itu mempresentasikan topik mengenai “Komitmen Pengurangan Emisi Indonesia dan Papua, Antara Kenyataan dan Mimpi.”
Di dalam makalah presentasinya, Emil menyampaikan enam tantangan pengurangan emisi di Papua yang berdampak langsung pada perubahan iklim.
“Tingginya angka deforestasi, pembangunan skala besar yang dipaksakan di seluruh Papua, kebijakan dan pendekatan yang tidak berubah di Papua, komposisi tidak seimbang antara pertumbuhan orang Papua dan non-Papua dan dampaknya pada relasi ekonomi, besarnya jumlah masyarakat asli Papua di pedalaman, serta perubahan produksi dan pola konsumsi semua itu memberi kontribusi besar pada hambatan dan peluang self determination masyarakat asli Papua,”
ungkapnya.
Menurut Emil, kritik terhadap program Provinsi Konservasi yang digagas oleh Provinsi Papua Barat juga mengemuka di dalam forum. “Provinsi Konservasi dikritik sebagai tidak mungkin berjalan baik tanpa mendesak keluarnya militer dari Papua Barat, karena status konservasi itu akan makin meminggirkan OAP yang tergantung langsung pada hutan dan SDA,” ujarnya.
Konferensi diinisiatifi oleh West Papua Project, University of Sydney, digawangi oleh Dr. Cammi Webb-Gannon dari Western Sydney University, Jim Elmslie, Peter King dan Jason MacLeod dari University of Sydney).
Dilansir RNZI minggu lalu, Dr. Cammi Webb mengatakan konferensi itu bertujuan untuk mencari benang merah antara dua persoalan penting di West Papua. “Kolonisasi Indonesia atas West Papua lah yang menyebabkan eksploitasi gila-gilaan terahdap sumber daya, serta semakin banyaknya pelanggaran HAM dan pengrusakan lingkungan. Jadi keduanya sangat erat kait mengait,” ungkap Webb.
Emil menambahkan, perkembangan perjuangan politik West Papua di forum–forum internasional seperti PBB dan MSG serta jaringan kerja West Papua di Pasifik, turut dibahas konferensi tersebut.
“Ralph Regenvanu, Menteri Pertanahan dan Sumber Daya Alam Vanuatu, hadir pada kesempatan itu, beliau sangat terang benderang argumennya tentang mengapa mendukung perjuangan rakyat Papua. Bukan hanya semangat Melanesia tetapi lebih pada prinsip pokok di PBB yaitu self-determination serta faktor sejarah Papua,”
ujarnya melalui sambungan telepon dari Jakarta.
Upaya diplomatik West Papua membutuhkan informasi dari semua lini, politik, ekonomi, sosial dan lingkungan, “untuk (istilah Ralph) menambah bullet (peluru) dalam perjuangn diplomatik,” kata Emil mengutip pernyataan Regenvanu.(*)
HarianPapua.com – Pasukan Kodim 1710 Mimika meningkatkan kewaspadaan jelang tanggal 1 Desember yang diperingati sebagai HUT Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM).
Meningkatnya kewaspadaan yang dilakukan Kodim Mimika dikatakan Komandan Letkol Inf Windarto untuk mewaspadai munculnya potensi ancaman atau kekacauan yang bisa saja ditimbulkan oleh organisasi anti pembangunan tersebut.
“Kita tetap mengantisipasi dan mewaspadai itu. Bersama seluruh komponen kami akan terus melakukan sosialisasi agar masyarakat tidak ikut-ikutan melakukan tindakan-tindakan yang bertentangan dengan ideologi negara kita,”
kata Windarto kepada Antara, Sabtu (12/11) kemarin.
Terkait adanya gelombang masyarakat yang masih tergabung bersama Organisasi Papua Merdeka, Windarto mengatakan di Timika masih sangat banyak warga yang bersebrangan dengan ideologi dan paham bangsa NKRI.
“Kemungkinan itu masih tetap ada. Kami mengajak agar mereka bergabung dengan kita untuk bersama-sama membangun rakyat Papua ke arah yang lebih baik dan sejahtera,” ujarnya.
Solomon Star News – The Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has refuted claims there are moves to topple his government in this parliament sitting.
Speaking in an interview Mr Sogavare described the claim baseless.
“It is a complete lie, a typical example of desperate effort by people with dirty motives to distort matters.
“I am enjoying the support of the entire government bench,” Mr Sogavare said.
Meanwhile a Cabinet minister said most MPs and ministers within the current ruling government disagree with the Party’s president Sir Thomas Chan to terminate the Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare from UDP.
The minister who wants his name witheld said the DCC government is remain solid to pass its 2017 national budget when Parliament is resume to deliberate on the budget today.
“…we are confident that we will sail through 2018 with no problems.
“They confirmed and pledged each other that there is no hidden agenda and there will be none.
“DCC has the best and right policies to move the country forward during their tenure in office and beyond.”
There are speculations that Ministers will take a mass resignation or walkout from government and support the Opposition.
However the MP refuted the claim saying: “The Ministers said that we already have a legitimate government so why should we form another one with people who are only hungry for power and position at the expense of the mass.”
Prime Minister Sogavare believes that the time has come for all leaders to set aside the shackles of doubt and suspicion that only breeds perceptions and media propaganda to influence public opinion to promote self rather than unity and peace.
However, a well placed source within UDP party said, despite PM’s claim of solidarity and infact, a rift is happening within the DCC government.
“ PM is playing the old game, and responds from our President is nothing but the truth, he did not address issues UDP have raised oftently when Cabinet meets,” the source said.
The source said the PM never respects UDP Party, the Party that puts him into power to become the country’s prime minister.
He said UDP must elect a new parliamnetary leader becasuse now PM is leading DCCG without a political party that requires a legal explanation.
“Issues we need clarification on Sogavare’s membership of UDP and leader of the coalition in the light of his removal from UDP. These questions could be raised as a point of order in parliament tomorrow (today).”
He said Prime Minister needs to realize that DCCG is UDP, PAP and Kadere, not himself.
“His leadership of DCCG is by virtue of his membership of UDP.”
Parliament resumes this morning after being adjourned from last week.

Vanuatu’s national language, Bislama, is derived from Beche-de-Mer or sea cucumber, the trade of which commodity in the late 1800s signaled the start of trade relations between Vanuatu and China
, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Trade Joe Natuman told a recent Seminar on Cooperation and Exchange between China (Guangdong) and Vanuatu.
He was speaking at the seminar hosted by the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies in Guangzhou two days after the DPM and his delegation of 13 MPs attended the opening of the Guangdong 21st Century Marine Silk Road International Expo in Dongguan, Guangdong Province’s second largest city. The same city is popular for hosting a different kind of Silkroad: Silkroad MMORPG annual tournaments (hosted through a Silkroad Private server), wherein the event sees thousands of ardent gamers.
“Vanuatu and China have had a long fruitful relation dating back a number of years”, he said adding: “It is important that we are holding this forum at the time when you are holding the International Expo on the Maritime Silk Road initiative that will aim to increase trade relations between our two countries.”
“The Chinese people and the people of Vanuatu have had a long relationship with each other,” Natuman added saying: “At the time when the Europeans were coming to the Pacific to trade in the late 1800s, the Chinese were also involved in the trade in the Pacific.”
“In fact when the British imported Chinese tea, the Chinese would not accept the British Pound or British money. So, the British had to look for something to trade with for the tea, and they looked for sandalwood and Vanuatu had lots of sandalwood.
“In fact one of our Members of Parliament in this delegation (UMP MP Tomker Netvunei) comes from Erromango and his island has lots of sandalwood. The British got the sandalwood from Vanuatu, came to China, exchanged the sandalwood and took the tea to England. That was our first trade contact,” the Deputy Prime Minister, a history/politics graduate told the seminar.
“Later on we had lots of Chinese investors and traders in the marine sector. They came to trade in beche-de-mer or sea cucumber. In Vanuatu we don’t eat sea cucumber but in China I believe you like sea cucumber and the Chinese came to our islands because we have lots of sea cucumber.
“That’s how we started trading. And in fact our national language, the lingua franca of Vanuatu, which in Papua New Guinea is called Tok Pisin – a broken English, in the Solomon Islands is called Pidgin English, and in Vanuatu the name was changed. It’s called Bishlamer or Bislama,” Natuman continued.
“The language is derived from beche-de-mer trading. The local people could not speak Chinese, they could not speak English and they could not speak the many ni-Vanuatu languages, so they came up with this language to communicate, they call Bishlamer or Bislama. Today it is our national language.”
“That is the history of our first trading experiences that have linked Vanuatu and China to this day.
“In the early 1900s we were colonized by two colonial powers – Britain and France, and Britain because of their interests in China through Hong Kong, when they colonized us, they brought Chinese from Hong Kong and South China to work in housekeeping, in the kitchen to cook their food and other such tasks.
“In Vanuatu we call them as people from Canton or Cantonese.
“The British allowed them to set up their own businesses and they set up a China town part of Port Vila which remains to this day. Many generations of these Chinese have become very successful and are doing businesses in Vanuatu today and they invest overseas.”
In 1982, after our independence, Vanuatu and China established diplomatic ties and Vanuatu is keen to look at ways to tap into China’s latest international trade initiative, the Maritime Silk Road.

The United States and Australia have agreed to a one-off refugee resettlement deal for detainees on Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirmed the agreement today, saying it followed “months and months of planning”.
At the end of October, there were 872 people in the processing centre on Manus Island and 390 people in Nauru’s centre.
Mr Turnbull said the deal would only apply to those currently on the islands.
No timeline was given for the process and Mr Turnbull said it would not be rushed.
In September, Mr Turnbull said Australia would resettle refugees from a US-run camp in Costa Rica, as part of its annual humanitarian intake of refugees.
He denied at the time it was part of a “people swap” arrangement.

Earlier, US Secretary of State John Kerry told media in Wellington his country had agreed to consider referrals from the United Nations Refugee Agency for refugees on Nauru and Manus Island.
“We in the United States have agreed to consider referrals from UNHCR on refugees now residing in Nauru and in Papua New Guinea,” he said during a media conference with the Prime Minister John Key in Wellington this morning.
“We know that these refugees are of special interest to UNHCR and we’re very engaged with them on a humanitarian basis there and in other parts of the world.”
Mr Kerry said he wanted other countries to consider how they could work with the UNHCR in a similar way.
“We are encouraging all countries to work with the UNHCR as we are going to … to find a durable solution for these refugees.”
Mr Kerry was asked about whether President-elect Donald Trump could overturn any agreement made about refugees with Australia once he took office in January.
He said he was unable to answer that question, but said the US would work to protect vulnerable refugees around the world.

Ia menegaskan, pemecatan tersebut tidak berpengaruh pada posisinya sebagai Perdana Menteri.

Ia menambahkan, Democratic Coalition for Change Government (kaukus pemerintahan di parlemen) berkesimpulan Sir Thomas Chan telah merusak kewenangan eksekutif yang diatur dalam konstitusi nasional dengan pemecatan yang dilakukannya itu.
“Kaukus pemerintahan tidak akan menyerah pada setiap tantangan atau oposisi pada kebijakan pemerintahan,” ujar Sogavare. (*)
