Media and civil society groups in New
Zealand, especially Maori and Pasifika, have been flattering that
United Liberation Movement for West Papua (LMWP) is the single
most-trusted representative for West Papuans. These Kiwis claim that
ULMWP leader Benny Wenda is the most entitled to represent the people of
West Papua in international forums especially in Melanesian Spearhead
Group (MSG).
They think Benny Wenda with his ULMWP is a supreme leader of West Papua. Unfortunately, all of those claims are profoundly baseless.
A rejection from within West Papua
It is Goliath Tabuni, the leader of one of the anti-Indonesian groups in Papua who finally voiced against all claims from the NZ. Tabuni along with his group called the National Liberation Army (TPN) of West Papua – The Free Papua Organization (OPM) has declared formally rejecting the entire agenda of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) struggle.
“The OPM-TPN-PB firmly refuses ULMWP to become a full member of MSG on the grounds that the West Papuan nation is full of diversity and not just one tribe of the Melanesian race,” declared Tabuni through his written statement read by Lekagak G.Telenggen, Tabuni’s Operation Commander in his video recording received by our credible source (15/2/2018).
Telenggen read the statement during the delivery ceremony of the Decree of the 7th Regional Defense Command (KODAP) in the West Papua Mountains.
Telenggen said that West Papuans are worried by the fact that the political elites in ULMWP are individuals with private and political vested-interests who try to form their own respective state cabinets and constitutions from overseas. This fact is truly against the value that Tabuni’s people believe that if West Papua were to be independent, all cabinet members would be from West Papuans who fight inside West Papua region.
Benny Wenda: An opportunist
They believe that Benny Wenda and his friends are only opportunists. Wenda does not fight for the West Papuan people but, instead, has become a foreign agent who would include foreign agendas to Papua.
“Foreign colonials will enter (West Papua) if ULMWP is included in MSG”, he added, as also stated by PapuaNews.id. “If you want to fight, let’s take up arms in West Papua region!”
Tabuni and his groups are deeply shaken by the race of private and political interests done by Benny Wenda and his groups that severely inhibit their struggle for the liberation of West Papua People.
Tabuni and his group are deeply disappointed that the international community, including the media and community groups in NZ that has blindly trusted Benny Wenda and his agendas.
“Ours is the real struggle, Benny Wenda and his friends are just foreign agents!” specifically.
So in that statement, Telenggen also said that Goliath Tabuni is planning to attack ULMWP and other related groups, whenever possible, because all his struggles had been wasted and tainted by these groups.
Tabuni, through his general of operations, also called on the Regional Defense Command (KODAP) throughout West Papua to implement simultaneous rejection to ULMWP and other related groups.
“The rejection action must be realized in a unity of national command across the mountainous, coastal areas of West Papua,” he said.
One obvious step of rejection from Tabuni is that ULMWP and his group should not enter his territory. The risk of crossing the border is war. Tabuni does not hesitate to fire ammunition.
“If ULMWP and its groups pass across the pegged areas, TPN-PB will still shoot them dead,” he asserted without giving clear and decisive boundaries.
In another moment, the secretary of the Lapago Traditional Council of Lapago Region West Papua, Dominikus Surabut, said that indigenous West Papuans are increasingly aware that ULMWP and its group are “loan sharks”, seeking only the advantage of living abroad at the expense of West Papuans.
“All elements including indigenous peoples have strongly rejected ULMWP, Benny Wenda and his group,” he said when asked for comments.
It is very unfortunate to know ULMWP and Benny Wenda are a media daring in NZ, while inside West Papua, their names and their political interests have been widely condemned.
