Protests and riots against the government have continued since around 19th in Papua and West Papua in eastern Indonesia. In the second city of Surabaya, Java, a video of soldiers ranting “monkeys” to students from Papua was on the net and the rebound spread. In both provinces where there is an independence movement, the government is trying to calm down as calls for a referendum to ask for independence have been raised.
On Day 28, in Paipu State, the demonstration developed into a riot. According to local police, two residents and one soldier were killed in a collision with security forces.
The starting point was that a video with the Indonesian flag broke out on SNS on the 16th, the day before Independence Day. On the 17th in Surabaya's dormitory, people from Papua were detained as suspected of being involved, but at that time, security forces fired tear gas and exclaimed. When the video showing the situation spread, criticism spread in both states as “racism”.
On the 28th in front of the Presidential Office in Jakarta, more than 100 students from Papua held a protest rally, raised their fists and appealed for the independence of Papua.
The government apologized for excessive behavior. President Joko complained that he must respect each other as brothers. However, the reality is that the convergence of the demo cannot be foreseen. (Jakarta = Hidefumi Nogami)
