There isn't much discussion about #WestPapua happening on @bsky.app who cares about West Papua, right? It's not a big deal. Good to know that it's completely ignored—a refreshing change from the endless buzz about #Palestine! What a delight to have something so utterly uninteresting to focus on

#Indonesia: They built their empire with natives & us the slaves - now the truth is on resurrect, waging war from its grave. #WestPapua

#WestPapua is Indonesia's last zone of exclusive control after the loss of #EastTimor. A killing zone. DEJA VU.

The history of #WestPapua centers on #racism, human rights abuses, & the manipulation of the 1969 Act of Free Choice. The American mining company Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE #FCX) has long played a role that has affected conditions for indigenous people in West Papua

#WestPapua Secret story by vagaries of geopolitics that keeps Amnesty, Red Cross, foreign journalists, human rights workers & diplomats out

#WestPapua is the Pacific's #Palestine; greener and bluer, but occupied by the Indonesian military since 1963. It is a secret struggle, hidden by the Indonesian government, ignored by the int’l community, sold out by the United States & its allies

Avatar story is the native #WestPapua story, kept secret by western world because of economic greed by western world.

#WestPapua, a piece of colonial property to be transferred from one colonial power to another. The Dutch, as the former colonizers of West Papua, betrayed West Papuans when they walked back on their promises and allowed Indonesia to take over West Papua. #Netherlands #Nederland

#Indonesia If you need any proof of how endemically nasty and unlawful the Indonesian govt and authorities are to this very day, research the case of Munir Said Thalib, an Indonesian #humanrights activist poisoned on an international Garuda flight to Amsterdam

#Indonesia Indon who waffle on about how great their Banana Republic is, been unable to use their addled brains to analyze the true situation #WestPapua #Chomsky

I am #Indonesia. I have tanks, missiles, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and soldiers without brains, professionalism, and humanity. I eliminate Papuans. I plunder mountains and rainforests, I occupy towns & demolish homes, how dare they demand freedom. #WestPapua

West Papua is #Colonialism! Colonialism is one of the most evident forms of racism. It humiliates victims, it robs them of everything: of culture, dignity, land. #WestPapua

#WestPapua Western interests: imperialism, colonialism, exploitation, racism, and other negative -isms - Malcolm X

One day ppl study our history & wonder how the majority let a minority run the course of our lives with lies built upon blood #WestPapua #genocide

#WestPapua We are worthy of freedom when we are ready to bleed for it. Our visions are our armour, knowledge our weapon.

After 1965, the perception of Indon about the world was never based on knowledge and well-informed analyses, but instead on the lowest grade of Western and local propaganda, on racist clichés, and on the gross censorship of everything that could challenge official dogmas. #Indonesia

#Indonesia where knowledge of the writings in a 7th century book is more important than having a tomorrow.

Educate. It can be difficult to avoid palm oil in the weekly shop, but it's useful to learn the pseudonyms for it, particularly sodium palm kernelate, or anything with palmate, palmitate or stearate. #palmoil #deforestation #WestPapua

#Indonesia Every empire tells the world that it's unlike others, that it's mission is not to plunder & control but to educate & liberate - Edward Said #WestPapua

#Prabowo You want to build the nation? Millions of Indon wanted to build the nation, but been thwarted over 78 yrs. Genocide, corruption, gross govt ineptitude, bad education, hopeless health system, poor pension, venal politicians & parties out for themselves #Indonesia

#Indonesia: Your education system is engineered to produce fuckable housemaids for Saudi Arabia and security guards on low wages.

#WestPapua No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them - Assata Shakur

Students in #WestPapua are protesting the free meal program and are asking for free education instead.

In #Indonesia. There is no forward thinking. There is not really a good plan, like next year there will be no plan for anything. It is just crisis containment, obscurantism, lies, incompetence, scandals, corruption, greed & obscene hypocrisy. One good #earthquake and it’s bye bye Indonesia!

#Indonesia targets first nuclear power plant by 2032. I wonder how they’ll manage safety concerns. #WestPapua

Starting nickel mining in Raja Ampat, West Papua is putting the rich marine life at risk. Even though people are worried about it, the Indonesian government just keeps on handing out permits. #WestPapua #RajaAmpat #mining

Sailing to the far-off islands of Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea. #Vanuatu #SolomonIslands #PNG

Striking a defense deal with PNG might look like a win for Australia, but there are four big questions we need to tackle first. #WestPapua #AusPol #PNG

Gold is being collected by the West Papua National Liberation Army from rivers and mountains in West Papua, then smuggled to Papua New Guinea to fund operations, primarily for weapon procurement, against Indonesia. #WestPapua

Of course, the Papua Regional Police would never dream of firing their guns during a protest for free nutritious meals. I mean, who wouldn't want to keep things peaceful while discussing the importance of a balanced diet? #WestPapua

Civil society pushing for a relook at the EU-#Indonesia trade deal because of worries about human rights and the environment. #EU #humanrights #ecocide #WestPapua

#Indonesia’s plan to clear rainforests half the size of Switzerland for sugarcane in #WestPapua, which will release emissions equal to 187 coal-fired power plants in a year. Indonesia already clears millions of acres for #palmoil. Also building a mega city in heart of Borneo jungle #deforestation

Before 1962-1963 Indon invasion #WestPapua was a wonderland, rich with endemic species in swamps & valleys. Now it's #monoculture of the mind. Now it's monoculture as far as the eye can see. #deforestation #palmoil
