How Could I Only Learn This Now?

Posted on 10/07/2024 by Daniel

I heard a lot about East Timor in the past but in recent years there has been a media silence on the Indonesian genocide. I read now at the U*N and other sites on human rights watch that near 500,000 Papuans have been slaughtered by the Indonesians.  Thousands more have been raped, tortured, imprisoned or ‘disappeared’ after being detained. Basic human rights such as freedom of speech are denied and Papuans live in a constant state of fear and intimidation.

This has been done by the largest Muslim country in the world and the takeover of the Papuan homeland is done primarily for land and resources. Never has the media been so at variance with its own goals of reporting the news and never has the Muslim world’s reporters been so self serving.
