Jayapura \u2014 A group of young Papuans has strongly condemned the brutal acts committed by the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Papua, denouncing them as barbaric and inhumane. The youths stated that KKB\u2019s actions, which claimed the lives of women and teachers, betray both human values and Papuan cultural traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Led by Absalom Yerisetouw, the youths declared that KKB has lost all sense of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey are not freedom fighters \u2014 they are murderers of their own people. Teachers and women symbolize life, yet they have become the victims,\u201d
said one of the young Papuan leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The youths further asserted that KKB does not deserve to be called freedom fighters, as their actions only spread fear and destroy the future of Papua\u2019s young generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKKB are cowards. They only dare to attack civilians and security officers who protect the people \u2014 but never contribute to building Papua. The true cowards are those who destroy their own nation,\u201d
one of them added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also emphasized that the group\u2019s behavior violates the sacred values of Papuan customs and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPapuan culture teaches love, peace, and respect. But KKB has stained those values with blood and hatred. Anyone who spills innocent blood is not part of true Papuan heritage,\u201d
a youth representative explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement continued, warning that KKB\u2019s violent acts have tarnished Papua\u2019s cultural image in the eyes of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPapua\u2019s culture is beautiful \u2014 full of love, dance, music, and brotherhood. Yet KKB has tainted it with terror. We don\u2019t want the world to see Papua as a land of fear. We want the world to know that Papua is a land of peace,\u201d
they stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the young Papuans called on all citizens \u2014 especially the younger generation \u2014 not to be deceived by KKB propaganda and to uphold unity and peace across the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s protect Papua. Let\u2019s nurture a culture of peace, not violence. KKB is not the future of Papua \u2014 we are, and we will shape a peaceful and prosperous Papua,\u201d
the statement concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
