	Political Millenarianism and the Economy of Conflict: Reflections on Papua by an Activist Anthropologist
		Papua's merdeka movement is a moral crusade for peace and social justice on earth, and the tremendous depth and breadth of its popularity must be understood as emerging from the region's long history of millenarian movements.
		Merdeka is not simply a request for self determination in the political sense, but a demand to be included in reciprocal dialogue with the powers of the globe-and in so doing, to gain the dignity of being human.
		Though the TNI immediately accused the OPM and reinforced its deployments in the region, public admissions by senior TNI officials that soldiers may have been involved is a positive sign that this perverse symbiosis at a local level may not be tolerated by the TNI hierarchy.

	Free Papua Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Free Papua Movement (Indonesian: Organisasi Papua Merdeka, abbreviated OPM) is a nationalist organization established in 1965 which openly promotes restoring independence from Indonesia for the western half of the island of Papua, which is currently under Indonesian control as the provinces of Papua and West Irian Jaya.
		Upon the Dutch withdrawal from the region, a United Nations-sponsored agreement called for the transfer of control from The Netherlands to Indonesia, with the stipulation that a referendum on the transfer be conducted in the province by 1969.
		In 1984 OPM staged an attack on Jayapura, the provincial capital and a city dominated by non-Melanesian Indonesians from elsewhere in the archipelago.

		It is also reported that the Indonesian government is to relocate a further 2000 people from the Tembagapura area to the lowlands during 1995, leading to possible further human rights abuses and deaths in the resettled area due to malaria.
