Socrates: Papuan People Should Think For Yourself Build

Jayapura - General Elections Commission (KPU) Center through open meetings determination voice prolehan the President / Vice Prsiden RI 2014, akhrinya set pair number 2 Jokowi-Jusuf Kalla as president of Indonesia for the period 2014-2019.

Related BP to that, Chairman of Board Service Center Fellowship Baptist Churches of Papua (BPP PGBP), Socratez Sofyan Yoman, MA., Pleaded not overly affected by the determination of the president. For anyone who is elected for Socrates would not be able to resolve the issue of Papua.

Socratez said, before the election of President / Vice President himself had predicted that Vice President-elect Presidential Candidate will win 50 per cent over the acquisition of voice.

However, he said siapun President / Vice President elect, in principle, not be membangunan and resolve problems in Papua.

According to him, whether or Jokowi Prabowo both have a bad track record. If Prabowo all already know because a lot of human rights abuses in Papua, while for Jokowi, he was not alone, because obviously behind Jokowi there are many people who have a poor track record as well, namely Megawati Sukarnoputri became ever over President ordered to killing of Theys Hiyo Eluay and eliminate Aristotle Masoka.


For why should the people of Papua have to think to build yourself and be yourself. Better not expect others, the Government of Indonesia, because obviously people forced to become Indonesian Papua.

"In ethnic, racial and geographical between Java and Papua, have been very much different. I myself do not choose when voting, because I do not want to give legitimacy to a president who does not resolve the issue of Papua, "he told Bintang Papua at his residence on Tuesday, (22/7).

Indonesian Problem is already known by the people of Indonesia was not an indicator, because Indonesian as a means of communication for the people of Papua to discuss issues of mutual interaction between them in Papua, because as Papua have 250 different tribal languages​​. So here Indonesia only managed to teach Indonesian to the people of Papua, while construction on the other hand is not too significant. It Papuans thank the Government of Indonesia because it teaches Indonesian.
If the people of Papua expect Jokowi elected and resolve problems in Papua, or Jusuf Kalla (JK)? But JK its just want to simplify the problem. Because JK disposition of a businessman, not a statesman. Papua issue very substance, the political issues, issues of human rights violations, failure of development issues, it is clear JK will summarize it all in one word, namely welfare issues, because JK view of the businessman.

 
"Anyone that our President pessimistic, because the people we know already, but new people. So win or lose both have a bad track record. Megawati Sukarnoputri will strongly affect Jokowi-JK, the Papuan people should think, "he said.
Stressed, Papuan people think to build yourself, does not mean in the sense that the Papuan people isolate themselves, because basically we all need solidarity, need a friend, need friends and companions and need a social life.

 
 But at the core of our interaction with the wider social community, but do not forget to build its own identity on the leg and do not get carried away with nationalism and culture of other people or other people's history. Because it is very dangerous if the history, culture, language, identity and nationalism that we lost, because it will be easily controlled by others.

 
"We have to establish ourselves, though we need solidarity and support to anyone who has a good conscience (heart of humanity), because since the first issue of Papua is increasing. Example struggles Papua OPM is a struggle, but the TNI / police stated that a criminal group, obviously it's very humbling, "he explained.

 
He expects President-elect should make Indonesia a lot better from now on, instead of suffering to the people of Indonesia, especially the people of Papua through his henchmen army / police.

 
He is very regrettable attitude that only promise the President and the promise to resolve the Papuan problem and left a heavy burden for the President and Vice President-elect, let alone the issue of Papua has now spread everywhere and become a serious international problem, then the problem can only be solved by Papua Jakarta-Papua dialogue, facilitated by a third party in a neutral place.
