West
Papua is Not a Doll but the family in the Homeland (NKRI)
This paper argues that West Papua
should be keep for Homeland because two factors: the history and the politically.
History is anything that is past
recorded, weather about culture, food or people. History is also about all the remaining facts of past time extinct to this day, plenty of people use
history. History tells us about the people, places and events of the past, arranged in chronological
order. It tells that is us about our ancestors-their lifestyles,
occupations, customs and traditions, religious
beliefs, social and political systems and cultural patterns.[1] Politics
is the practice and theory of influencing other people on a civic or individual
level. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance —
organized control over a human community, particularly a state.[2] Papua
issue is a global issue. Human rights violations committed by members of the
military, Freeport
worker unrest, inter-tribal warfare, religious sentiment even frequent coloring
of Papua. This case to the attention of the world are focused on Papua. The
issue is deliberately maintained at any time be used to stop the Indonesian
government injustice.
Body : Indonesia is ONE, from Sabang until Merauke
Early
times independent Indonesia,
Papua has not been part of the Homeland. Indonesia and Papua equally
colonized by the Dutch. Finally officially entered Papua became part of Indonesia in
1969. Papua was part of the archipelago which held true to the motto
"Unity in Diversity". Although the dispute
was heard Papuan independence to the present,
There are
several important things is the reason why Papua must be maintained to the
family for the Homeland, including:
1.
History
bear witness to the struggle in Papua
Indonesia continues to perform
a variety of ways to free Papua from Dutch control, such as through bilateral
negotiations between Indonesia
and the Netherlands,
namely the convening of the Ministerial Conference of the Netherlands
Indonesian Union. The bilateral meeting was conducted
in a row since March 24, 1950, 1952 to 1954, but to no avail. In addition, the Indonesian government also sought by
the UN Forum conducted successively raising concern in the West Irian dispute
the X General Assembly 1955 General Assembly 1956 XI, and XII General Assembly
of 1957. Moreover, seeking support through the Conference of Asian and African
Countries Africa Asia (KAA) attended 29 countries in Asia and Africa, Indonesia
gained support to regain of Papua but the sound of Asian and African nations do
not attract international support in the UN General Assembly. (Read:

Indonesian Papua has not been able to obtain political
and economic confrontation, therefore, on December 19, 1961 in Yogyakarta, President Sukarno announced TRIKORA
containing abort the establishment of the Dutch formation Papua Dolls, hoist
the Red and White in Irian Jaya Indonesian homeland, preparing to carry out
mobilization general. As
a first step TRIKORA implementation, set up an operations command, which is
named West Irian Liberation Mandala Command, and conducted Operation Jaya
Wijaya. Various measures showed seriousness in obtaining Papua Indonesian
nation. Thus, at the urging of the United States,
the Netherlands is willing
to hand over West Irian to Indonesia
with the Convention of New York / New York Agreement. In accordance with the
agreement of New York, on May 1, 1963 handover
ceremony took place on the West Irian UNTEA to the government of Indonesia. The
ceremony took place at Hollandia (Jayapura). In
the event that the UN lowered flags and red-white was wave to mark the launch
of West Papua into the province to 26. Name
was changed to West Irian Jaya (now Papua) Indonesia West Papua through
confrontation is not an act of colonization to other nations, because it is
deemed legally in terms of de facto and de-Jure West Papua was part of
the Homeland. West Papua became part of the
Homeland is not a unilateral effort, but the support of the people of West Papua. This is proved by the results of the Act
(referendum) which states that the people of West Papua want to join the
Republic of Indonesia.[3]
Based on the history, we can see that Papua became
part of the Republic of Indonesia (Republic
of Indonesia) the
struggle of the Indonesian government and the desire of the people of Papua.
This can be seen from the results of the Act (the Act) which indicates that the
Papuan people want to be part of the Republic
of Indonesia.
2.
Politicality in Papua
Political status of West Papua still
unsolved in 1949 when the Netherlands transferred sovereignty over all the
Dutch East Indies to Indonesia .In 1961, a new educated elite of West Papua ,
the Netherlands guided, directed in greater autonomy and wider. A national
legislature, called the Council of New Guinea, was formed, as well as a
national flag and anthem were introduced. That song, O My Land Papua, regularly
sung during the ceremony after the official Dutch national anthem. Flag, the
Morning Star, comprising a single white star on a red background color etched
side seven blue lines and six white horizontal lines, representing the number
of districts in the province of West Papua. He was officially hoisted on 1 December in 1961. Much of West Papuan
nationalists referring raising ceremony on the date of birth as legitimacy for
West Papuan independence.[4]
While the Netherlands argue that
Indonesia had no claim on the territory of Papua, with ethnic and political
grounds Papuan population is far different from other parts of Indonesia,
President Sukarno when it argued that West Papua had been part of the
Indonesian nation as a territorial entity that encapsulates the islands. These
national traits, he argued fore, irrespective of ethnicity, but the experience
of the suffering and struggle together under colonialism. Therefore, West Papua can not be
regarded as a distinct entity but only one of the diverse ethnic groups that are
part of the republic of Indonesia . Referring to the argument that ethnic
differences in people of West Papua solely Indonesia placed under the slogan
" Unity in Diversity " - meaning, " Different but still one also
".
3.
Wealth and Peace of Papua
Along with an incredible wealth of Papua should be
accompanied by the establishment of peace for the people. But the fact is not
spawned peace, abundant natural resources even make the stakeholders are
turning into a society so accustomed to what is called the imbalance occurred
in Papua as people still found illiterate, hungry and marginalized.
Government should be create a strategy in fulfilling
its responsibilities so it no longer clashes and disputes between the
authorities and society, between the separatist forces and certainly among the
public with the public. Peace should be the first issue, and foreign companies that
issue should be a factor taken seriously by the government, such as the
presence of PT Freeport, which until today have problems with society and his
work.
Mining activities of PT Freeport McMoran Indonesia
(Freeport) in Papua, which began in 1967 and today has been going on for 42
years. During this time, the business and economic activities of Freeport in
Papua, has scored a huge financial advantage for foreign companies, but has yet
to provide optimum benefits for the country, Papua, and local communities
around the mining area.
From year to year continue reaping huge profits from
the Freeport mine gold, silver, and copper in the world. Freeport officials
continue to receive facility, allowances and benefits which amount to 1 million
times the annual income of residents of Timika, Papua. Freeport advantage does
not necessarily give birth to the welfare of local people. Conditions Timika
area like fire in the husk, there is no condition that guarantees a stable future
Papuan population.[5]
Ideals of peace certainly a common goal for every
human, all parties are expected to maintain a good condition so as not to
repeat the events that burden the people. The authorities also need to be
controlled so that the officers did not carry out his duties as he pleased in
that the edges of society become victims but super-tight protection for foreign
companies such as PT Freeport only for Rp 1,250,000 per month. It was irony. [6]
Based on the research of S. Eben
Kirksey in his article entitled "Don’t Use Your Data as a Pillow" record on indigenous Papuan and turns
in it there is a link with America. In association with the American essence is
presumably stronger because Americans see Freeport as the natural resources, and is the largest
asset owned by Papua. After Papua renamed Irian Jaya, which after the fall of
Suharto, Indonesia Freeport letting contracted and managed by the U.S. until
now.
Furthermore, the reason Americans
supported Indonesian Papua to not release that the company did not escape from
the grip of American wealth is an asset that is very profitable for them,
because if Indonesia took off Papua, Freeport is likely to escape from America. Eben, that in
fact the person who is white, did research on the case of a campaign of terror
and violence perpetrated by the Indonesian security because of this, he thinks
to be able to help to achieve independence for Papua .[7]

Of other provinces will require Indonesia to escape from the
Homeland
When West Papua was freed from the Republic and of course it
will be a great cause conflict in the future. Due
to the five other provinces would require from Indonesia
to release them anyway territory of the Republic of Indonesia.
Aceh province is the sixth, Sulawesi, Maluku, Bali and Riau. Even though the
Homeland should be united. [8]
5.
Problem
that welfare should be improved
International support and recognition of the state is
one of the basic foundations in diplomatic relations. Therefore, the support of
foreign countries over the Homeland integration will be an important indicator
in the resolution of the Papua issue internationally. But
diplomacy should be followed by economic development and welfare of Papua
appropriately and real. (Read: Journal of
Political Research vol.3 Papua Sues (2006). LIPI)
6.
Sake Integrity of the Republic and the art and culture
of Papua immediately patentable
Wealth of art and culture of the Indonesian nation
make the government to rigorously assess and properly organize the wealth of
this nation, especially the local government. This is important so that the art
and culture of Indonesia
is not claimed by other countries are still allied. To
avoid this, the Governor of Papua Luke Enembe has patented a program of art and
culture of the Earth of Paradise.[9]
As stated in the official website of Papua province,
the inauguration of the Arts Council of Papua (DKTP) newly period from 2014 to
2019, Governor of Papua Luke Enembe DKTP assigned to patent the entire arts and
culture in Papua New Earth.
"So,
today (15/04/2014) I was assigned to the Arts Council to immediately arrange
the richness of our culture, whether sculpture, dance or any art, including
studios and family owned by group that is well laid out. And I assign to a
patented immediately not to claim with others, "said Luke Enembe.
Furthermore Nomensen say, art and culture of Papua is the last pillar which indicates that there Papua and life on earth of an Archipelago. Therefore, art and culture is the last defense of Papuan identity within the framework of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. (Papua.go.id / Gil)

7.
Regional Languages in Papua should be Protected
Local Government in Papua need to take steps to protect the more
progressive local languages in Papua
are threatened with extinction. One solution that can be taken is to make
regulations on the protection of regional languages.
Center for Languages of Papua
province said, Papua has 280 local languages. Dwindling number of native
speakers of regional languages. The speakers leave and shifted to the use of
other languages are
considered to be more favorable in terms of economic, social, political and
psychological. It is a symptom that is bad for the
existence of local languages.
Regional language has become an important part in the Papua Special
Autonomy era. Protection in the form of regulation is the logical consequence
of the recognition of the rights of the area including the respect for the
language of the region itself. The Regulation will also be a legal basis to
ring-fence the local languages from
extinction and to one side as the implementation of special autonomy mandate.
To encourage the birth of regulation, governments need
to involve civil society and academia, because this legislation should include
safe guards languages, minority languages and
additional strengthening of regional languages in the curriculum, for example through
local content (Mulok). (read: http://vogelkoppapua.org)
Conclusion: Maintain Papua for the Homeland
In
conclusion, by looking at the current state of Papua, Papuan independence will
not guarantee that Papua will develop better than it is now, and there is no
guarantee that leaders will have the vision to power the Papuan people's
welfare. We can find the reasons for demanding the independence of Papua and on
the other hand we also have reasons to keep Papua as part of the Homeland.
Therefore, keep maintain Papua for the Homeland.
