The aim of our movement is simple. To liberate
and obtain independence for West Papua from its colonial ruler
Indonesia. This simple aim is based on the OPM foreign policy of
Mutual Understanding and Respect and once independence is
achieved it shall remain the basis for the development of
democracy in the Independent State of West Papua Niugini/ Irian
Jaya.
The struggle has a series of 7 successive
stages, each lasting 5 years since then. They are:
1.
1964 - 1969 - Preparation for the Act of Free Choice
1969.
2. 1970 - 1975 - Restructuring of the OPM organisation.
3. 1976 - 1981 - Redeployment of resources following PNG independence.
4. 1982 - 1987 - OPMRC established with Chairmanship.
5. 1988 - 1993 - International diplomacy campaign.
6.
1994 - 1999 - Recovery of the lost nation of West Papua/Irian.
7. 1998 - 2001 - Resurrection and Re-emergence of the
independence struggle
in West Papua
8.
2000 - 2005 - Re-build the new nation of West Papua within
Melanesian
perimeters.
