Father, today your West Papuan sons and daughters are with you again here in London - so far from our homeland and our loved ones - to remember again the solemn promises you made to our people.
47 years ago, on 5th April 1961, you gave our elders a precious gift, the Nieuw Guinea Raad, West Papua's first democratic parliament. We remember that day as one of the most important in our history, the first rays of light in the eastern sky in our country's sunrise to independence.
