Manobi Urges Activists to Safeguard Peace in Cenderawasih Land"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jayapura \u2013<\/em> Papuan indigenous leader Nelvis K. Manobi has called on activists and intellectuals in Papua to maintain regional stability and avoid being provoked into actions that could cause harm. His statement, delivered on Saturday (May 20, 2025), was directed at activists committed to upholding the values of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on Indonesia\u2019s reform era, Manobi recalled his own experience as part of the 1998 activist movement that fought against the New Order regime. He stressed that while struggles for change often require sacrifice, they must be carried out with dignity and free from violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs activists of \u201998, we experienced firsthand the hardships of dismantling the New Order\u2019s power and ushering in reform as a new light for Indonesian democracy. Therefore, I urge all activists and fellow intellectuals to work together to keep Papua\u2019s situation peaceful, by avoiding actions that could harm ourselves or others,\u201d Manobi emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also highlighted the way public aspirations are expressed, warning that open rallies often trigger tension and conflict. Instead, he encouraged more constructive and peaceful avenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe also urge that the expression of aspirations be done in a dignified manner, without relying on open forums that can spark conflict or violence,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, Manobi issued a moral appeal to Papua\u2019s younger generation to voice their views wisely. He expressed hope that their struggles would bring tangible contributions to peace and development in Papua, rather than becoming mere symbols of resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet us be wise as creations of God the Almighty,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His appeal reflects both a spirit of reflection and a heartfelt call to safeguard peace in Papua amid the region\u2019s evolving political and social dynamics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jayapura \u2013 Papuan indigenous leader Nelvis K.
