The genocide in West Papua is not characterized by nuclear warfare or military conflict; rather, it constitutes demographic control aimed at the eradication of indigenous Papuans from their ancestral territory.
The transmigration program serves as a more potent instrument for the marginalization of the indigenous West Papuan population from their ancestral territory.
Additionally, regional expansion is a powerful tool for controlling the lives of the native West Papuans and stealing their land.
Therefore, it's critical to understand the Indonesian government's strategy for eradicating West Papua from their territory.
Genocide in West Papua is not the same as what the UN defines as genocide; rather, it is a new form of genocide, such as regional expansion (pemekaran) that includes militarization and transmigration until infrastructure development for the exploitation of natural resources under the guise of developmentalism for indigenous Papuans.
The demographic control and alienation of indigenous West Papuans from their country are the goals of every program.
Therefore, it's crucial to recognize that the Indonesian program in West Papua is a new kind of genocide, similar to slow motion genocide, which is referred to as a humanitarian catastrophe in this article.
- West Papua's military rule and regional expansion.
In West Papua, militarism uses regional expansion as a weapon. While West Papua is seeing regional expansion.West Papuan indigenous people have traditionally been under military rule. Thus, when the Indonesian government implements the regional expansion program.
gIn West Papua, it always results in militarization. Thus, a military strategy in west Papua is regional expansion.
The government always argues for the public in the name of development, empowering Indigenous Papuans, and expanding the region.
to cause the Indonesian government to slowly commit genocide against the Indegenouse people of West Papua who live in Creeping and silent.
2. Transmigration and regional expansion.
In West Papua, the Soharto-era immigration scheme continues to this day. However, the transmigrant program's models or nomenclature have changed.
Using the term "demographic equality." The Indonesian government continues to use the transmigrant program in West Papuans to marginalize and control the population of Indigenous Papuans.
Outsiders cause indigenous Papuans to become minority groups in their own country.
Because West Papua's transmigrant initiatives continue to attract and specialize individuals from Java, Celebes/Sulawesi, and other regions.
To be the majority of West Papuans in order to assist the government in advancing the separatist cause in the region.
Because Indigenous Papuans distrust the Indonesian government and all of its initiatives in West Papua, this program is for integrity rather than demographic equality in Indonesia.
Therefore, it's critical to recognize that territory expansion (pemekaran) is a means of dispersing impoverished and uneducated Indonesians from Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi to West Papua. Job seekers, transmigrants, and the statistics of all transmigrants to West Papua are never made public.
The indigenous West Papuans are being driven from their homeland by this program. Thus, this is a component of slow-motion genocide, or silent.
To eradicate West Papua's indigenous population and seize their territory. Indigenous people's land is seized without their permission as landowners because of the transmigrant policy.
3. Conclusion.
West Papuan genocide is not a nuclear conflict. However, controlling, eradicating, and marginalizing Indigenous Papuans from their land is a pemekaran, military, and transmigrant battle.
This approach, which goes by the names Development, Empowerment, Welfare, and Prosperity, always seems reasonable.
Indigenous Papuans are still marginalized in their country due to slow-motion genocide. In order to control and eradicate Indigenous Papuans as a minority group in their own country, Pemekaran is a military and transmigrant tactic.
