Articles about West Papua:
A forgotten cause
Excellent personal account and article by Peter Tatchell, also see Digg entry if you wish to comment on this article. 30/Nov/2006
Free West Papua
By Michael Osborne, a Greens Councillor on Newcastle (Australia) City Council and environmental engineer. 1/Dec/2006
Free West Papua
Article written 1/Dec/2006; update on front page in part stating: Sadly, on this their celebration of independence, the people of West Papua stand alone. Aside from one comment piece published on The Guardian?s website yesterday (fittingly titled, "A forgotten cause"), not a single major British or American newspaper has reported on West Papua today. The decision not to cover the story must have been a conscious one, because the AFP sent a wire covering West Papuan celebrations in eastern Indonesia earlier today. The parliament of Vanatu paid respect to the 45th West Papuan Independence Day by way of a 1-minute silence this morning.

 American WestPAN Group http://www.westpapua.ca Please remember, it takes only seconds to mention "West Papua" ; and if your friends are discussing foreign affairs or corporate corruption then West Papua and Indonesia have been key-stone motivations for sixty years of covert US jihad support and manipulation of the US Foreign Relations review process.
