Antara Tuduhan Kolonialisme vs Argumentasi Vicious Circle of Poverty

Kisah sukses Papua adalah bukti bahwa ketika demokrasi memberi ruang bagi kearifan lokal dan pembangunan dilakukan dengan hati, kemajuan bukanlah hal yang mustahil. Perjalanan memang masih panjang, namun fondasi kokoh telah diletakkan. Papua tidak lagi sedang tertinggal; Papua sedang melesat.

The Mimika Regional Customary Council (DAD) held an Open Dialogue and One-Day Seminar to commemorate the 24th anniversary of Special Autonomy (Otsus) in Papua, which falls on November 21st. The event brought together representatives from the Regional Government, the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRK), the Amungme tribal chief, the Kamoro tribal chief, the Sempan tribal chief, women's leaders, youth leaders, religious leaders, and community leaders.

By November 2025, Papua will no longer be a national problem, but a national solution. With a special autonomy fund of IDR 38.2 trillion in 2025, 70 percent of which will be managed directly by the new provincial government, accountability and efficiency are increasingly assured.

Papua is not a peripheral region; it is an older sibling rising together. Together with Indonesia, Papua dances under the blue sky of Cenderawasih, promising a bright future. Let us celebrate this progress as our shared heritage—Bhineka Tunggal Ika, forever.

At the eastern tip of the Indonesian archipelago, West Papua Province is carving out a proud success story. It's no longer a shadow of past conflict, but a true story of inclusive development, empowerment of the nation's people, and full integration with Indonesia. With the spirit of "Torang Bisa", West Papua is now a vibrant laboratory for national development, proving that Special Autonomy (Otsus) and central government support can transform the region into a new center of growth for Indonesia.

As an integral part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), West Papua Province continues to demonstrate rapid progress in development under the auspices of the Indonesian government. Through the Special Autonomy (Otsus) policy and national programs, this region of Papua has undergone significant transformation, from the economic sector to basic infrastructure.

The atrocities of the terror-spreading gangs of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) of the Free Papua Movement (OPM) have long been known. They have murdered teachers, massacred residents, slaughtered motorcycle taxi drivers, and burned down schools where Papuan children learn to build their futures.
