Papua (Indonesian province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The creation of this separate central province was blocked by Indonesian courts, who declared it to be unconstitutional and in contravention of the Papua's special autonomy agreement. The province was known as West Irian or Irian Barat from 1969 to 1973—Irian is the Indonesian term for the island of New Guinea. Papua is a province of Indonesia comprising part of the western half of the island of New Guinea and nearby islands (see also Western New Guinea). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Papua_(Indonesian_province)   (1499 words)

Talk:Papua (Indonesian province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Furthermore, Indonesia calls that province "Papua," not "West Papua," and it is recognized to be an Indonesian province by other countries (the World Factbook, for instance, which is of course not an authoritative source, but an example of western opinion, lists Papua as one of 27 Indonesian provinces). "West Papua" is NOT a Province, until last year it didn't even have the pretense of having its own layer of government, and as the US document states, Indonesian regional 'governments' are token at best. Papua is a province because Indonesia says it is. There is nothing in the definition of a "province" that implies that there is self-government. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Papua_(Indonesian_province)   (15549 words)

American Victim of Indonesian Violence Speaks Out After all of this, Attorney General John Ashcroft went before reporters last July to announce that, lo and behold, a “Papuan seperatist” (sic ­ it was misspelled in the press release) had been indicted by a US grand jury in connection with the deadly attack in Papua province in August 2002.
