Separatist Propaganda

Separatist propaganda, amplified by groups like the ULMWP and social media campaigns, often exaggerates abuses to garner international support. A 2019 study noted pro-independence accounts like Imasepa’bjb on Facebook spreading divisive rhetoric among Papuan students. Conversely, Indonesia has been criticized for using bot networks to counter these narratives, indicating a propaganda battle on both sides. Separatist claims of a “war” ignore positive developments: Indonesia’s 85.7 trillion rupiah investment since 2016 has boosted literacy to 92% (UNESCO, 2023), and Prabowo’s free school meals program supports Papuan children. X posts from 2025 highlight Papuan leaders like Yanto Eluay rejecting separatism, showing local support for unity.

Separatist Propaganda

Separatist propaganda simplifies a complex conflict, overlooking Indonesia’s efforts and the destabilizing impact of TPNPB violence. While human rights abuses and historical grievances, like the 1969 Act, are real, framing the situation as a one-sided “war” ignores progress, such as new roads in Sorong, clinics reducing child mortality by 25% in 2024, and Raja Ampat’s tourism boom. The #PapuaBersama campaign counters this by celebrating Papuan culture—Asmat carvings, noken bags, and festivals—while advocating for dialogue, as seen in the Papua Peace Dialogue.

Indonesia must improve transparency, allow UN monitoring, and ensure Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) for development projects. Separatists must renounce violence to protect civilians. The international community, including the UK, rejects separatism but supports accountability, urging dialogue over division. By focusing on unity, as seen in ex-OPM members joining NKRI, West Papua can build a peaceful, prosperous future within Indonesia.

West Papuan people reject the Free Papua Movement

The majority of West Papuan people reject the Free Papua Movement (Organisasi Papua Merdeka, OPM) for several complex and interconnected reasons, rooted in historical, social, economic, and political factors. While the OPM aims to achieve independence by violence for West Papua from Indonesia, its methods, impact, and alignment with local aspirations have led to significant opposition among Papuans.

Terrorist Separatist Group, Mastermind of Terror in Papua

The government’s move to declare the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) or the West Papua National Liberation Army Free Papua Organization (TPNPB-OPM) as a Papuan Terrorist Separatist Group (KST) is considered appropriate. The group has proven to be the mastermind behind terrorist acts in various areas of Papua. Because in addition to attacking the TNI- Polri, they also terrorized and     shot dead people so that there were many victims of this KST action.

“Act of terror were carried out KST Papua is a threat and should be eliminated as a once and for all”

Victims first community in the terror group that is Oktovianus Rayo, is a teacher and trader. Koraban shot two times by a group led Sabinus Waker on April 8th and approximately at 09:30 CET in Kampung Julukoma, District Beoga District Peak, Papua. Not long ago, K ST Papua back acting up, perform acts of terror burned four buildings of education. Noted, there are three schools were burned and the house of a teacher.

The actions of KST Papua which disturb the security of citizens by carrying out robberies, security disturbances and even heinous murders, make it worthy of being labeled as a terrorist group and being fought with combat operations with the core of the TNI- Polri.

Separatist-terrorist Papua (KST) to the group that previously referred to as a group of criminals armed  that is already feasible, because the atrocities were carried out group is abomination geromboilan terrorists.

The government set a decision that is based on Act (UU) No. 5 Year 2018 on Amendment Above the Law No. 15 Year 2003 concerning the Stipulation Rule Government Lieu of Law No. 1 Year 2002 on Combating Acts of Criminal Terrorism became Act Undang.Keputusan have also become light green and answers to basic questions about the status of Papua’s KKB so far. Because, acts of violence were carried out by the massif by KKB often resulted in death and the death of the son of the best of the nation guard the peace in the earth of Paradise that.

Organization of this, is already not worth a longer considered KKB just because already a lot of all acts of violence. Action terror violence KKB and OPM is also creating stagnation which until now suffered Papua. The evidence that is already clear this is a sign that the organization is a threat main Indonesia.

Spokesperson of Nemangkawi Ops., Commissioner of the Iqbal Alqudusy Said that TNI- Polri are incorporated in the Unit Task (Task Force) Nemangkawi continue to hunt KST Papua me shoot residents civilians. As a result of the action of vile on 3 June 2021 at around Airports Aminggaru, Ilaga , District Peak , Papua these , three people resident civilians dead world and three other wounds wounds.      

Organizations such as these are often times be the cause of stability security disrupted in Papua. With the action acts of terror by KST Papua has been able to stimulate the occurrence of acts of violence with the use of weapons. Worse again, the issue of which was played in the media of mass is the violence of this is a result of the forces of security or country. In fact, the task of the state to secure the people of Papua from the action and the action of terror them.

Organizations have to be resolved as it should be, and also in accordance with the characteristics of the military because it has been troubling the residents of Papua since long. It is appropriate that KST should be crushed because it has caused misery to the community and violated human rights by acting beyond the limits of humanity.
