The Separatist and Terrorist Group (KST) has never stopped carrying out various acts of barbarism and atrocities that are completely inhumane. The community also fully supports the actions of the security forces to eradicate these separatist gangs.
KST Papua reportedly carried out another attack by setting fire to the SMPN 1 Gome building and a traditional house in Puncak Regency, Central Papua on Friday (10/11). Head of the Public Relations Division (Kabid) of the Papua Police, Kombes Pol. Ignatius Benny Ady Prabowo said that the burning of the building was accompanied by flares fired 10 times. According to Benny, about 400 meters from the location of the fire, gunshots were heard leading to the Kodim post.
Not half-heartedly, the separatist gang caused hundreds of Gome residents to flee to the TNI Task Force 300/Bjw Post to ask for protection. Of course, with the many acts of barbarity and atrocities that are completely inhumane that they continue to carry out, the security forces will absolutely never tolerate any form of violence that occurs in the Land of Papua.
Based on information from the Chief of Staff of the Joint Regional Defense Command (Kogabwilhan) III, Marsda TNI Deni Hasoloan Simanjuntak, he revealed that around 200 residents from 10 villages in Gome had fled because they were afraid of KST. The residents were then placed in the Jenggernok Bethel Church and in honais around Pos Gome. So that their condition is monitored.
The Chief of the Puncak Regency Big Tribe, Abelom Kogoya, admitted that he asked for protection from the soldiers on duty at the Gome Post because he was afraid of KST interference. This is of course a common occurrence, because KST is known to have the heart to hurt anyone, including Indigenous Papuans (OAP).
The security forces then prepared many calculations to take firm and measured action against KST Papua, with the aim of not causing too many more fatalities. In this regard, the security forces are also collaborating with various other related parties to work together carefully in uncovering all the perpetrators behind the many crimes that continue to be carried out by terrorist gangs in Bumi Cenderawasih.
Furthermore, the security forces will also continue to increase their security efforts to ensure that all community activities can run well and smoothly and in conducive conditions. Moreover, the democratic party and political contestation in the upcoming 2024 General Election will soon be held, so it is very clear that the security forces do not want any interference from any party that is at odds with the ideology of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). ) to keep messing around.
Previously, KST was also reported to have been involved in attacks on civilians who worked as mining workers. According to the Head of Operations of the Cartenz Peace Operations Task Force, Police Commissioner (Kombes Pol) Faizal Ramadhani said that after the incident occurred, the security forces themselves immediately moved very quickly and responded in sending their personnel to the location and evacuate the victims who are civilians.
However, when they were about to carry out the evacuation, it turned out that security forces from joint personnel led directly by the Chief of the Yahukimo Resort Police (Kapolres), Adjunct Police Commissioner (AKBP) Heru Hidayanto were involved in a firefight with KST Papua who were on guard at the scene.
When the security forces arrived at the location, they were disturbed by gunfire from the separatist gang, so that a gunfight could not be avoided, which lasted for 1 hour 30 minutes.
It was also reported that not only attacking the mining workers, the KST led by Egianus Kogoya also set fire to 3 excavator vehicles, 2 trucks and 1 Pandulangan Camp. Then, in response to the violence that continues to occur and befall civilian victims in the Land of Papua, the security forces have confirmed that they will carry out a thorough investigation and arrest the perpetrators of the attack. The immediate pursuit was carried out in order to be able to strictly enforce the law on KST Papua.
The Papuan KST gang has not stopped at all by continuing to carry out terror and carrying out various acts of barbarism, cruelty and cruelty that are completely inhumane. They continue to threaten the safety and peace of civilians in Papua, including destroying various public facilities.
