In this case the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB-OPM) officially
from the Central Headquarters issued a statement that the Colonial Government of
the Republic of Indonesia Election in 2019 must be Boycot, because in principle
that the TPNPB-OPM never recognized the existence of the Colonial Government of
the Republic of Indonesia in Papuans Customary Lands.
And it should be known by all
parties that from the date of 1th July 1971 the TPNPB-OPM has rejected the
illegal occupation of the Colonial Government of the Republic of Indonesia in
the Indigenous People lands of Papua.
This rejection was carried out
by conducting a unilateral Proclamation, which announced the Provisional
Constitution of the Republic of West Papua by OPM leaders at that time.
The other leaders of the
proclamators have pased, and others are still alive. The main figure is the
late Seth Jafet Rumkorem, Jacob H Prai still living in the State of Sweden and
all the Figures we did not mention their names here.
On this basis, the TPNPB-OPM
has never been involved in the democratic feast of the Colonial Government of
the Republic of Indonesia from 1971 until now, and its very clear.
And remember that the indigenous
people of Papuans who participated in the Indonesian ELECTIONs were those who
became CiVil Servants as Colonial agents as well as prospective Papuan
indigenous legislators who were ambitious to occupy positions in the Parliament
of the Republic of Indonesia throughout the Lands of Papuans, including Papuans
Representatives in Jakarta.
