MORE than 300 Indonesian police and soldiers, together with armoured vehicles, were occupying the West Papuan parliament last night. West Papuan analyst Camellia Webb said as many as 20,000 people took part in an initial rally in Jayapura on Thursday, making it the biggest rally since the fall of Suharto in 1998. About 4000 continued to occupy the parliament building last night. Radio New Zealand reported that up to 50,000 people had taken part in the initial protest. An upper house of tribal leaders, the Papuan People's Assembly (MRP), voted last month to reject Papua's autonomy status, introduced in 2001 after the fall of the Suharto military dictatorship in Jakarta. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government's military campaign to control the rebellious province may have been inadvertently aided by a report from the International Crisis Group, which blamed the resistance movement for a spate of violent incidents, according to a Sydney University study. -------------------------------------------------- Papuans call for vote on self-determination AFP , JAYAPURA, INDONESIA Cursed by plenty THE next trick is to find a way out of Wamena.

When the aeroplane does arrive, after a long delay, I quickly learn that the carrier is looking out for the safety of its passengers, at least as far as crash landings on water are concerned. A sign on each seat kindly asks the passenger to refrain from stealing the life vest. ------------------------------------------------------ By KNPB Timika Hundreds of people gathered outside Abepura postal office in the Papua --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/asia_pacific/10565860.stm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- indosiar.com, Papua -Aksi demo warga Papua menuntut Papua merdeka hingga Kamis (08/07/10) sore ini masih berlangsung di Jayapura.
