Our Organisations

Core organisations are divided into Main Organisations, Supporting Organisations and Other Organisations.

 

Core Free West Papua Homepages

 

What we mean by "Core Free West Papua Homepages" has three main charcteristics:

1. The website is managed by Papuans ourselves;

2, The website is dedicated solely for West Papua Independence. In other wrods, it presentes other information such as human rights, environmental destruction as such as issues and cases backing up the campaigns for West Papua Independencel; and

3. The website does not support any single organisation, but treat all of them as "our organisations" and present the "real identitiy" of each organisation.

It is not our task to judge which one is the "true" one. Our task is to present all of our organisations as they are. Another point to note is that what we are presenting here are not as they (these organisations) say who they are, but according to what we know about who they are.

 

In other words, we present the real identity of each organisation.

Some Notes on Our Organisations

Our Different Organisations

Please note that all of our organisations are quiet indepdent. This independency can be misinterpreted as differences in their goals. However, the differences are just reflections of pluralism among the tribes in West Papua.

 

The differences are not necessarily problems to the struggle, even though some people do speculate and manipulate the differences due to their own interests and/or perspectives.

Causes of the Differences

According to our knowledge based on our experiences, the differences are manipluated to become factions among our organisations by certain parties who have vested interests on and in West Papua, particularly on the natural resources.

 

They manipulate and utlise Papuan elites in order to initiate and

Do the Differences Represent Fractions?

The differences should be interpreted as how rich the cultural varieties in West Papua, which should be protected. And West Papua independence is the best means of promoting and protecting the differences.
