Neles TebaySince Indonesia assumed control of the territory of West Papua in 1963, indigenous Papuans have been denied a genuine opportunity for self-determination and have suffered the ongoing neglect of their socio-economic, cultural and human rights. In this Comment, Neles Tebay, a Papuan priest and journalist, argues that Papuans are now facing a real threat to their survival. He outlines the past and present injustices suffered by indigenous Papuans, and describes the peace-building work that offers the only real hope for the Papuan people that they will not forever have to live as outsiders in their own land.
