Intan Jaya Regent Sends Couriers To Meet KKB, Says Refugees Are Still Afraid After Clashes

PAPUA - Intan Jaya Regent Natalis Tabuni will send a courier to meet with the armed criminal group (KKB). This is one of the efforts to overcome security disturbances in the region.

In addition, his party has also dispatched a team to collect data on the displaced residents so that it can be known exactly how many there are.

Natalis Tabuni did not specify in detail the duties of the courier in question. According to him, most of the residents in several villages in Sugapa District are still afraid to return to their homes after the KKB and TNI-Police clashes.

Six locations serve as shelters for displaced residents, as quoted from Antara, Tuesday, November 2. Among them, the church, police, and Koramil.

Currently, the condition is starting to lack logistics. "While waiting for dropping (logistical assistance), we will ask for help from kiosks that still have food supplies to sell to the local government while waiting for delivery from Nabire," said the Regent.
