The Diary of Online Papua Mouthpiece (Do-OPM) presents the First First-Hand News and Information, directly from West Papua jungles, without filtrations, or modifications or editing from the CEB. The Do-OPM presents the real voice of the Papuan people, in Papuan versions and in varieties of languages such as English, Indonesian, Lani and others. The Do-OPM is not only a news online, but also a Diary where you can find records of most of events in West Papua, particularly since 1 January 2001. However, we also try to record previous events as we can. Since late 2001, when we were presenting news and information on Theys Eluay, our enemies attacked our website which was hosted in England at that time. And all contents of the site were gone, NONE LEFT. With cries and sadness, we managed to re-build the whole site back, with risks of loosing news and information for year 2000, and some from year 2001. In the middle of the process, we got offer for help from MySpinach.Org to host our site at their server, for free. We thanked to them and since then, we began to build our website. This MelanesianNews (MelNews) is hosted at Powweb.com. At the moment, some parts of the website, particularly News Updates and Cases are automated, including the front page. Other folders are still manually managed by the koteka@westpapua.net
The logo is the picture of Agus Waker, who was shot on 3 December 1999. It reflects the suffering of human beings in West Papua. This website and the DoOPM exist to expose various violations of rights: the rights of plants, animals, humans and other beings in West Papua.
