Pepera Free Papua from Dutch Shackles

Pepera Free Papua from Dutch Shackles

Pepera has freed Papua from the Dutch colonial shackles. Be careful of provocation and an invitation to join the Free Papua Movement OPM which is trying to find fault with the Act of Free Choice. Papua is an inseparable region from the Republic of Indonesia which is recognized de facto and de jure, but strangely there are still a handful of people and groups who still want Papua to be separated from Indonesia for various reasons.

PEPERA (Determination of People's Opinion) in 1969 was carried out smoothly, in an orderly and safe manner, this PEPERA was implemented by the United Nations and supervised directly by several observer countries, as a result the People of Papua and West Papua said they would continue to join and become part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

In addition, the existence of armed criminal groups KKB in Papua who helped encourage or provoke from external parties, namely opportunist activists abroad and a small country in the south pacific who always voiced minority against the Government of Indonesia, namely Vanuatu.

However, if we look at the reasons above, all of them can be disputed with accurate data, as is known that PEPERA is implemented by the United Nations, where in the implementation there is an observer country and the Dutch Government, so there is very little possibility of fraud or intimidation.
