Melanesia Intelligence Service sudah melaporkan sebelumnya betapa NKRI beroperasi dengan berbagai cara untuk mempengaruhi politik di Republik Vanuatu. Mereka sudah berhasil dengan sejumlah politisi Vanuatu sebelumnya dan sekarang dengan Salwai mereka terus berusaha.

Seperti dilaporkan sebelumnya, mereka telah mendekati beberapa menteri di Vanuatu, telah membiayai mereka, telah menyokong beebrapa usaha. Salah satu usaha yang mereka sponsori adalah Koperasi di Vanuatu.

Seperti kita ketahui semua, Deputy PM dan Menteri perdagangan, yang juga terkait dengan Perkoperasian di Vanuatu beberapa waktu lalu ialah Joe Natuman, satu-satunya pemimpin Melnaesia hari ini yang sangat instrumental dalam meloloskan West Papua menjadi anggota Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG). Dengan bantuan dana MSG, Joe Natuman dilengserkan dan digantikan oleh seorang menteri yang lebih muda, yang walaupn berasal dari kampung yang sama, tidak berpengalaman dalam politik.

Setelah NKRi berhasil melengserkan Joe Natuman, kini NKRI sudah punya aktifitas ramai di Vanuatu. Salah satunya dapat dilihat dari cerita ini “Indonesian keen to train women

Dalam cerita ini dengan jelas ditunjukkan ebtapa Ibu Muslimin Indonesia ini sangat ceria memberitakan ajaran Islam atas nama Koperasi, yang sebelumnya di abwah Joe Natuman tidak punya napas sedikitpun untuk bergerak, jangankan bicara.

Dengan ini dapat kami dengan mudah simpulkan bahwa NKRI sudah enak beroperasi di Vanuatu.

Apa yang terjadi dengan ULMWP?

ULMWP lebih memilih tinggal enak nyaman di Eropa dan di Amerika dan Australia. Tujuan para pengurus ULMWP mulai nyata saat ini, mereka sebenarnya ke luar negeri untuk tinggal nyaman di luar negeri, tepatnya di negeri barat, sehingga tidak perduli dengan kondisi dan perkembangan di kawasan Melanesia.

Vanuatu yang jelas-jelas menjadi Markas Pusat ULMWP kini sudah diduduki oleh NKRI, tentu saja dengan keuatan uang yang sangat besar

Apakah kekuatan “ras” dan “brotherhood” ke-Melanesia-an mampu melawan duit dan perusakan moral orang Melanesia yang dilakukan oleh  NKRI?

Kalau PNG saja mereka sudah mampu kuasai, kalau Solomon Islands saja mereka sudah duduki dan kendalikan, kalau Fiji saja sudah menjadi bagian dari NKRI, apakah Vanuattu yang dijauhi oleh ULMWP mampu bertahan menjadi kubu pertahanan dan markas pusat perjuangan Papua Merdeka di luar negeri?

Jawab sendiri!

MSG meetings in Vila not expected to decide on Papuan bid

A series of Melanesian Spearhead Group meetings are taking place this week in Vanuatu’s capital to look at the group’s membership guidelines.

Last month, the MSG secretariat scheduled this week’s meeting in Port Vila for leaders of its members to discuss a West Papuan bid for full membership.

However there will not be a leaders summit component at this week’s meetings, with the expectation that they will now meet early in the new year.

But today in Vila, MSG senior officials met, and tomorrow the group’s foreign ministers are to meet, to discuss the findings of a constitutional committee that has reviewed MSG rules on membership.

It’s understood there won’t be a decision on the full membership application by the United Liberation Movement for West Papua this week.

In a sign of the sensitivity around the issue within the MSG, leaders have this year deferred a number of summits where West Papuan membership was a priority item.

The Sub-Committee on Legal and Institutional Issues was tasked by MSG leaders at their Honiara summit in July to clarify guidelines for observer, associate and full membership in the group.

The MSG’s five full members – Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia’s FLNKS Kanaks Movement – have been divided over whether to grant full membership to West Papuans.

The United Liberation Movement for West Papua was granted observer status in the MSG last year but its bid for full membership has been deferred pending clarity on the guidelines.

The Liberation Movement’s leaders, including Octo Mote, Benny Wenda, Rex Rumakiek and Jacob Rumbiak are in Port Vila for this week’s meetings.

Representatives of Indonesia, which has associate member status at the MSG, are also present.

Ryamizard Ryacudu met with Australian government representatives including Foreign Minister Julie Bishop in a meeting in Bali where the two countries reaffirmed security ties.

He pressed Australia to pass a message to Solomon Islands that it should refrain from interferring in the internal affairs of Indonesia, including the issue of West Papua.

Solomon Islands’ Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, in his role as chairman of the Melanesian Spearhead Group, has been vocal about boosting West Papuan representation in the group.

He was also one of seven leaders of Pacific states who spoke out about rights abuses in Papua and on support for Papuan self-determination at last month’s UN General Assembly session.

Ryamizard told media that he had implored Canberra to speak to Honiara on the matter because Australia contributes a big aid package in the Solomons.

Detik News reports the Minister saying Australia has accepted the request.

Ryamizard said friendly countries do not disturb each other by interfering in domestic issues.

He warned that Indonesia will not stay silent when its sovereignty is compromised. He described Indonesia as a tiger that can attack if disturbed.

The Minister urged Australia to pass on the message to Solomon Islands and other Pacific states that they should not invite West Papua to join the MSG.

The MSG accepted the United Liberation Movement for West Papua into the group with observer status last year and is considering whether to elevate it to full membership.

An MSG leaders meeting on the matter is due before the end of the year in Vanuatu.

Indonesia has associate member status at the MSG.

Australia must not respond to Jakarta’s request

Media Release 31 October 2016

Australia must not respond to Jakarta’s request

During her visit to Indonesia, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Indonesia’s Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu discussed efforts to deepen military relations at the 2+2 meeting held in Bali last Friday. It was reported by RNZI that the Indonesian Defence Minister urged Australia to pass a message to Solomon Islands that it should refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Indonesia, including the issue of West Papua.

Joe Collins of AWPA said, “this is an outrageous statement as it is duty of all nations to raise concern about human rights abuses not only in West Papua but no matter where they are committed. The Solomon Islands and the other six Pacific leaders who raised concern about the human rights abuses in West Papua (at the 71st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September) are to be congratulated for their courageous stand on the issue of West Papua. It is a pity that Australia does not follow the Pacific leaders in also condemning the ongoing human rights abuses committed by the Indonesian Military”.

West Papuan leader Benny Wenda in a statement said that on 27th October, at least 9 West Papuan people were shot and 1 was killed as the Indonesian police opened fire in Manokwari.

According to reports, West Papuan people took to the streets to protest the murder of a West Papuan youth Vigal Pauspaus (20) who was stabbed by an Indonesian migrant. In response, the Indonesian police opened fire on the crowd and killed West Papuan Independence activist Onesimus Rumayom (56). They also reportedly attacked and shot at least 8 other people including children.

Joe Collins said, “it should also be remembered that Indonesia’s Defense Minister Ryacudu said of the soldiers who killed Chief Theys Eluay (Chairperson of the Papuan Presidium Council) in November 2001, that ’I don’t know, people say they did wrong, they broke the law. What law? Okay, we are a state based on the rule of law, so they have been punished. But for me, they are heroes because the person they killed was a rebel leader.’

Not only should Australia refuse the request of the Indonesian defence minister but should be supporting the Pacific leaders in calling on Jakarta to allow a PIF facing mission to West Papua.

Vanuatu Deputy PM: Melanesians Being Killed By Asians

Pasifik.News – By Adam Boland – July 20, 2016

Vanuatu’s Deputy Prime Minister has hit out at Indonesia saying Melanesians must speak up for the people of West Papua.

Joe Natuman believes the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) is being swayed by outside interests after it deferred making a decision on awarding full membership to the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP).

“West Papua was forcibly annexed by Indonesia and brutally overthrown. They were in the process of getting their independence in the early 1960s,” he told Vanuatu’s Buzz FM 96. “Now they say we cannot interfere, no, we must interfere. Melanesians are being killed by Asians, we have to interfere.”

He says the MSG is failing to meet its charter.

“The MSG, I must repeat, the MSG, which I was a pioneer in setting up was established for the protection of the identity of the Melanesian people, the promotion of their culture and to defend their rights,” he said. “Now it appears other people are trying to use the MSG to drive their own agendas and I am sorry but I will insist that MSG is being bought by others.”

Vanuatu has been a strong supporter of the ULMWP getting full membership but Papua New Guinea and Fiji say it would undermine Indonesia’s sovereignty. Jakarta has confirmed it has been lobbying Melanesian countries intensely.

“If our friends in Fiji and Papua New Guinea have a different agenda, we need to sit down and talk very seriously about what is happening within the organisation,” said Mr Natuman.

Indonesia Moves To Isolate West Papua From MSG

 Pacifik.news – By Adam Boland – July 16, 2016

Indonesia is confident the West Papua independence movement will never be granted full membership to the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG).

Melanesian leaders debated the issue on Thursday in Honiara but delayed making a decision until September so that more clarity could be provided about membership criteria.

Vanuatu Prime Minister Charlot Salwai says he “gravely regretted” the deferral and has vowed to keep fighting for the United Liberation Movement of West Papua (ULMWP).

But Indonesia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Desra Percaya believes the MSG will never give full membership to a “separatist movement”.

“The active participation and intensive lobbying by the Indonesian delegation, which also included representatives from five provinces, Maluku, North Maluku, East Nusa Tenggara, Papua and West Papua, has convinced MSG leaders not to accept the ULMWP’s membership application,” he says.

That “intensive lobbying” from Jakarta means Papua New Guinea and Fiji are likely to maintain their opposition to the ULMWP’s bid. Both countries say they respect the sovereignty of Indonesia.

Economic incentive

Mr Percaya says the Melanesian region stands to benefit economically from closer ties to Indonesia.

“The combined GDP of Southeast Asian countries is US$2.6 trillion with a population of approximately 622 million people,” he says. “Almost a quarter billion of this population live in Indonesia, including the 11-million strong Melanesian population.”

The ULMWP says it remains committed to securing full membership of the MSG and doesn’t believe the deferral means Indonesia has got its way.
