It's the gold mines, TheOne. Wherever you find oppression, follow the money.

You've hit the nail on the head, Les. Foreign media, NGOs, and humanitarian agencies have been largely denied access to West Papua. And Papuan journalists face routine threats, abuse, and censorship.
For nearly 60 years, West Papua, a region in the easternmost stretches of the Indonesian arhipelago, has been engaged in one of the longest-running independence struggles of any region in the "world" against occupying Indonesia. I just didn't know that Arab-Muslims(so called terrorists) like Palestinians deserve more media attention in the eyes of Kris than those Black brothers and sisters who are mostly Protestant Christians and Catholic Christians in West Papua. All are victims of a brutal Indonesian "Muslim" regime.
Hmmm, I see why MalcolmX gave back Christianity to their owners. He simply returned it to the people who gave it to his ancestors. That being said a Black Christian or Muslim who does not take history and social politics of his environment into account is indeed NAIVE!!
