Encouraging Yacob Rumbiak (Australia), Herman Wanggai, Otto Ondowame (Swedia) to follow Jouwes’ Step

We should remember the statement of B.J.K. Cramer Rotterdam, the Netherlands that Jouwe in the Netherlands has taken the courageous step, following the earlier lead of the RMS movement in exile that made a similar step, by declaring that the war for secession was over and that instead any differences should be settled by peaceful means.

Jouwe and Joku are smart leaders who realize their mistakes in the past. Later, they realize that Papuan should be active and become leaders in Indonesia not only in Papua. Papua is one of  Indonesia provinces.  Therefore, whoever Papuan leaders stay overseas are eccouraging to follow Jouwe step. We are Papuan looking forward to see you in Papua sooner or later.

Genyem calls you guys to work at our farm

Jayapura is the widest area for plating cocoa in Papua.  This regency has 6,177 Ha followed by Kaerom 5,058 Ha, Nabire 2,937 ha. However, due to shortages and the political situation, cocoa production in Jayapura decline so drastically.  Another cause is many young men have left the village and work in the city to build infrastructure and the political situation.

We are Papuan hoping that you, guys, please poor our girls working alone. Accompany them and come back to farm and restore the glory Genyem Cacao plantations.

Thank the Dutch government

Papua is selected as one of five regions in Indonesia as the location of the renewable energy project.  The other provinces are covering North Sumatra, Central Java, Yogyakarta and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Thank  Casindo coordinator, Nico van der Linden who said that Papua with its special autonomy status should be able to develop its renewable energy potentials and formulate the regional energy policy while economizing energy measures.

Cenderawasih University has been chosen to implement a work program and make coordination with related parties, said Nico, who is also a researcher at the Netherlands Energy Research Center (ECN).

We will stop fighting, promise

Keeping away from strife is an honor for a man, But any fool will quarrel. Proverbs 20:3

Solomon asked, “Do you see yourself as an honorable man or a fool?” If you avoid strife and fighting then you are an honorable man. But if you like to quarrel about anything and everything then you are a fool. Do you remember that our kids at SD Inpres state elementary school in Kwamki Lama in Mimika, Papua have not been school.

While they had got problem, we were proud to fight with our family. As a father I am ashamed with my kid’s complaint “father, please stop your involvement in the conflict, we want to school now.” My kid reminds me Solomon message during our prayer at Church that the honorable thing for a man to do is avoid strife and quarreling, not engage in it. Thank Mimika Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Moh. Sagi for your effort to mediate in the dispute.

Papua Governor talks with President SBY through Teleconference a Day before Preidential Election

Governors across the country declared Tuesday their preparedness for Wednesday’s presidential election, and pledged to uphold the Constitutional Court’s ruling to allow unregistered voters to cast ballots using their ID cards. The governors made the pledge during a video conference with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is one of the three contenders in the race.

Using a video conference, closeness we can feel between Papua and Jakarta. It remembered us  about  a correct use of an Indonesian proverb which says far from eyes but close to heart. Papua Governor Barnabas Suebu, a governor from the country’s 33 provinces was saying nearly 2.2 million registered voters in the country’s easternmost province were facing ballot shortages. However, he said only Papua’s Yahukimo regency had not received any ballot papers yet due to geographical and weather difficulties. The majority of Indonesia’s governors claimed Tuesday they had all the ballots, security and manpower necessary to run a successful presidential election on Wednesday, though minor incidents in some regions suggested otherwise.

The President told the 33 governors to stay “neutral and professional” in holding the election, and help the General Elections Commission (KPU) implement the new Constitutional Court ruling. The video conference lasted about an hour. A total of 11 governors reported on their latest preparations in their respective provinces ahead of tomorrow’s polls, while others listened.
