The Papuan Separatist and Terrorist Group (KST) has the heart to injure civilians and become a source of conflict in Papua. The mob deserves to be exterminated so that peace in Papua can be maintained.
The Papuan Separatist Terrorist Group (KST) has left many “marks of scars” for Papua, they often spread terror and destroy public facilities, resulting in fatalities. They also did not hesitate to attack the security forces with their weapons.
The Indonesian government and the Separatist Terrorist Groups were again urged to carry out a “humanitarian pause” to prevent casualties following the shootout that took place in the Kiwirok District, Bintang Mountains. However, the spokesman for the pro-Papuan independence group said it would not stop the attack as long as the Indonesian government did not want to sit together at the negotiating table mediated by the United Nations.
Whereas the United Nations (UN) has rejected the Papuan referendum plan, and decided that Papua and West Papua are an integral part of Indonesia that cannot be contested.
The issue of security in Papua has forced 100 residents from the capital city of the Kiwirok district to flee to the nearest area that is considered safe. If all this time KST has stated that it is fighting to free Papua from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, this action has in fact only scared the community, in fact civilians have become victims of violence and shootings. .
Previously, the former Papuan Police Chief, Inspector General Paulus Waterpauw, said that KST was a group of people who often grouped together and carried out security disturbances. Paulus emphasized that he always categorizes KST as a free man. His life is just violence, frightening everyone, threatening everyone with guns.
Of course the atrocities committed by KST, which used to be called KST, can no longer be tolerated. The state must also act or act immediately. So that the death toll among the Papuan people will no longer fall, the state must act decisively and measuredly.
When the state acts decisively and KST members surrender, they must be faced with legal processes to account for the armed violence they have committed so far. On the other hand, if the state’s decisive action was responded to by a deadly armed attack by KST, it would not be wrong if the TNI-Polri soldiers also launched a counterattack in the name of defending the country and protecting all the blood spilled.
The existence of KST in Papua with all its evil actions so far must have caused endless fear for local residents. It is not wrong if Papuans are inflamed and express their jealousy towards their fellow countrymen and countrymen in other regions who are allowed to enjoy the dynamics of normal life without being afraid of a sudden attack from KST.
With the existence of atrocities that clearly violate human rights, of course the state must be present with a clear goal, namely to protect Papuans so that they can live a normal life, without being overshadowed by terror and fear. When Papua returns to peace and conducive without conflict involving firearms, the government can calmly continue development on Cenderawasih Earth
Fighting and liberating Papua from various terrors and crimes against humanity by KST is a concrete manifestation for the state to protect the basic rights of the Papuan people.
KST did not stop voicing the narrative to separate from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the group also justified any means such as rioting, burning public facilities to carrying out attacks on security forces.
The terror spread by KST has been going on for more than 2 decades, the victims for KST’s cruel acts have been countless, as well as financial losses for the people affected when KST launched its brutal actions.
Enforcement of KST in Papua is homework for the government and also TNI-Polri officers who remain on standby to maintain the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia in Papua.
Komjen Paulus Waterpauw once said that KST was causing trouble because they had no other job. He also asked all parties to help eradicate KST so that Papua and West Papua can be maintained conducive. This means that maintaining security in Papua is not only the task of the apparatus, but also the contribution of the community.
The state must be able to act decisively against KST members who often disturb peace in Papua, their actions must be legally accounted for. Because they have acted, made restless and did not hesitate to destroy state facilities such as schools, police stations to health centers.
