Vanuatu - Vanuatu

Aug 2005
Of all the independence movements in this part of the world, the struggle of the West Papuans has been not only the loneliest, but also the most unreported. Since officially becoming part of Indonesia back in 1969, only one country, Vanuatu, has consistently raised the plight of the West Papuans at the international level. But that may be about to change. Indonesia's launched a diplomatic offensive aimed at "encouraging" Vanuatu to soften its pro-West Papuan stance and it's already created quite a stir among Vanuatu's politicians.

Indonesian Govt, please do not use aid as a pretext of humanity in my country in order to yield enough fruits for your best interests! We all know the high records of the human right abuses inflicted on a regular basis upon our Melanesian brothers and sisters in West Papua. One day, you will have no choice but will ensure that West Papua rightfully gains its Independence. We rather remain POOR and do not receive your dollar aid until West Papua receives its independence!
