Im Westen von #Papua-Neuguinea herrscht die indonesische #Kolonialmacht. Sie hat den Großkonzernen Tür und Tor geöffnet. Lakshmi Thevasagayam kennt die Hintergründe. https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1190122.papua-neuguinea-der-stille-genozid-in-westpapua.html

#Papua:
Paradiesvögel, Baumkängurus, Urwaldriesen wie der Merbaubaum leben dort – und zahlreiche indigene Völker.
Im Süden von Papua droht den Indigenen und ihrer Natur eine Tragödie: Auf zwei Millionen Hektar entsteht dort eine gewaltige Zuckerrohr-Industrie. Bitte unterstützt die Menschen dabei, ihren Wald zu verteidigen – bitte unterschreibt deren Petition!

Today in Labor History March 7, 1996: A crowd of 3,000 workers destroyed the Freeport copper mine facilities in Tamika, Irian Jaya (West Papua). They took this action after a company security guard ran over a member of the Dani clan. Protesters kept operations shut down and demanded an end to human rights violations, eco-terrorism and cultural genocide by the company. Overnight, the international price of copper jumped from $15 per ton to $2580 per ton.

Finally starting on this book which I brought to NY with me since I didn't have time to look at it in Vancouver in January. The Indonesian translation of IFM Salim's memoir of being interned by the Dutch in Boven Digoel for 15 years.

Children can not vote.
But they can user their voices to sing:
"Our land, water and forest are being destroyed /
So many years since it was new /
The sun still sets ans rises on /
a world of green and blue. /
Woods and oceans plants and streams /
A beauty that is stunning in /
its wild variety. /
Open your eyes, open your heart /
The natural world is a work of art /
A miracle, so finely tuned /
something to love not to consume."
This song is a call to action from the children of West Papua.
This video was shot in West Papua and is a collaboration between us and Phuyaklah Voices, a children choir from the shores of Lake Sentani in West Papua working alongside the brilliant charity Papua Partners.

More great purchases for me by my relative who came back from Indonesia this week. By request, three books on Boven Digoel, the concentration camp for Indonesian communists and nationalists the Dutch ran in Papua from 1927-47. The anthology by Pramoedya is the most common, but I especially wanted to get the memoir by I.F.M. (Chalid) Salim, which I've posted about lately.

One thing I've done in preparation for #WikipediaAsianMonth is to greatly increase the length and citations in the article about the internment camp at Boven Digoel; for such a big topic, the article was quite rudimentary. Even after a few days on it I've barely scratched the surface of the possible sources, as some memoirs of ex-internees are out there, and millions of words in the Dutch and Malay press from its time.

Neuseeländer nach 19 Monaten als Geisel in Papua frei
19 Monate lang wurde ein Neuseeländer von Separatisten in der indonesischen Region Papua als Geisel gehalten - nun kam er wieder frei. Nach langen Verhandlungen griffen Polizei und Militär ihn in einem abgelegenen Bezirk auf.
