WADEFAI-Keep on Striving-WEST PAPUA

In Port Moresby- You can not get the straight foward answer if some one died of AID.

2009-11-04T14:49:00.000-08:00

Just over the the last weekend, one of the Divisional Director in the organization I am involve with passed away. I asked my other collegues how did it happen? They say he has been sick for a while. I asked, what is the diseacese? They say we don't know. But it obviouse you can tell they knew, also I have been observing the victim himself for a while. So my respond to them was I think its HIV/AIDS.
You see, when I or some one is inffected with any diseacese appart from AIDS I can comfortably tell others that or yes, I have TB, Birb flue, or Pheumonia, or an STIs diseasceses, but not when it comes to HIV/AIDS. I can not tell others. Especially in the working environmnet.
We see and heard our collegues and wantoks (relatives) died of AIDs but when an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign is conducted in the office area we make fun of it and even don't entertained it.
IGNORANCE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN PNG- to the danger of what HIV/AIDS is.

BAGUS EKUDANTO, Commander of Police in Papua Province ordered AKBP IMAN SETYAWAN (S.Ik) Head of Police of Yapen Regency to ‘clean’ the West Papuan political movement in Yapen, including the old village of Mantembu in the valley of Mt Wayoi. On Sunday 2 August the police kidnapped seven people from Mantembu and took them to Jayapura where they were incarcerated without charge. On Monday 3 August at 6am, Police 1 SSK (a company of indeterminate number but up to 150 personnel) entered Mr Wayeni’s house and raped his wife in front of their second child who was sick. Mr Wayeni tried to intervene and was shot with three rounds of ammunition from a SS1 automatic gun and then bayoneted. He ran out of the house and died in the garden. The police threw his body in their car, like a dead animal, and took him to the hospital to sew up his stomach. Yawan Wayeni was forty years old. He was a political prisoner in Yapen for nine years during the Suharto administration. He leaves a wife and three children.

Experience in Refuggee Camps- PNG

2009-03-05T23:29:00.001-08:00

I am a refuggee, half of my life was brought up and living in the refuggeee camps. I was small boy when my parents was forced to flee West Papua. I don't know what was happening at the first place, but later I began to learn the actuality in the camps. Year after years I over heard people talking secrets and promissing other people that West Papua will Be free soon.

There were meetings after meetings conducted in public and in secrets. There were delegations after delegations visiting the refuggee at the camps. These delegations were often wellcome and farewell with big celebrations ( various trditional dances from West Papuan were performed, big fist were offered with plenty of food whole entire camps were decorated, every one were asked to dressed in their best atire ( Traditional or Modern). The youth, school children, womens groups, church groups and mens group were organised to do some sort of activity ( singing, Dancing, drama plays etc..)to entertain the deligations. The womens would take turn cooking for the guest day and night. A tight security would be provided day and night, fully armed with Bows and Arrows, Bush Knives, spears and even home guns surrounding the tradional Melanesian style houses. In some instance a traditional sourcerer man was brought to performe his spell to make sure the spirit world is clear.

The question that I often asked myself was this; WHY DO WEST PAPUAN REFUGGEE HAD TO THE EXTREME DOING THAT?
The answer is simple, THAT THESE SO-CALLED DELEGATION WILL TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THEIR ASPIRATION SO THAT THEIR ISSUE IS CAN BE TABLED IN THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Untill to this day that you are reading this article, Non of these so-called Guest or delegations member is opeing their mouth. And yet while visiting they make big promises that they will make changes, or they will save West Papua. Every inspiring words they spoke in public the refugees would shared tears. Beleiving that this is the right man, this is the saviour.

Now that i am a man, nothing have changed, many of this people ( refuggee) have died in camps others have gone back home through the repartriation exercise. I still asked some of the leaders Can the aspiration of the West Pauan people still live or will it died the natural death?

I WILL RISE,STILL I WILL RISE!!!!!

You may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still...like dust I will rise

Does my sassiness upset you
Why are you beset with gloom?
'"cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room

Just like moons and like suns
With certainty of tides
Just like hopes springing High
Still I will rise

Did you want to see me broken
Bowed head head and lowered eyes
Shoulders falling down like teardrops
Weakened by my soulful cries

Does my haugtiness offend you
Dont you take awfully hard
'"cause I laugh like I have gold mines
Diggin in my own backyard

You may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with you eyes
You may kill me with you hatefulness
But still...like air, I will rise

Does my perseverance upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I have diamonds
At the beating of the "Tifa" drums
Out of the huts of history shame.. I rise
Up from the past that rooted with pain...I rise
I am a black ocean, leaping and wide
Wellin and swelling I bear in tide of freedom

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear...I rise
Into a daybreak that's wonderously clear...I rise
Holding onto the gifts that my ancestors gave
I am the dream and the hope all West Papuan brave
I will rise,
I will rise,
I will rise,

Please be encourage because I still think we have a better chance to negotiate our freedom and independence with Prime Minister Kevin and US Presedent elect Barack Obama.
