employee was carrying out work to build a connecting road between

group of people suspected of civil armed groups attacked and opened
fire on the employees and set fire to two units of heavy vehicles
belonging to the company.

Sebby, all armed groups currently operating in the mountainous region
of Papua have been moved under a single command. The agreement was
reached through the meeting they did November 2012 in Biak, Papua.

the workers were shot because there has been an order from the helm
of the rebel groups to impede the construction of roads. "The
Commander told 'do not get up the road!'," Said Sebby.
