JAKARTA - Member of Commission I DPR Tubagus Hasanuddin regretted that the term Free Papua Organization (OPM) was changed to the Armed Criminal Group (KKB).
According to him, the change in the term OPM to KKB has also changed the paradigm of handling separatists in the land of Cenderawasih.
In fact, according to him, this group is just an ordinary criminal group. However, there is great desire behind every criminal act so far.
The PDIP politician said that this separatist group had always wanted to be independent. Moreover, they have quite long traumatic memories in the New Order era.
"There is a deep trauma in the Papuan people in the New Order era without paying attention to human rights. There have been 11 military operations that have been carried out. This has caused trauma to the Papuan people," Hasanuddin said, Wednesday, May 5.
Furthermore, the former high ranking TNI-AD officer said that when he was still serving as an adjutant to President BJ. Habibie. Where he was asked to invite 100 Papuan leaders to Jakarta.
He said, there was debate at the meeting. Papuan leaders asked for a referendum because there was a desire to be separated from the Republic of Indonesia.
"Finally, at that time a policy was taken in the form of granting Special Autonomy (Otsus) for Papua. Then, the large budget was disbursed to Papua," he explained.
However, he continued, the Special Autonomy budget was only enjoyed by the Papuan elite and did not flow to the lowest strata of the people.
"People at the bottom still have difficulty getting sweet potatoes, have difficulty getting access to health, and education is also untouched," explained TB Hasanuddin.
Therefore, he reminded that the handling of the KKB in Papua must be measured, systematic and massive. Moreover, there was a military operation in the eastern tip of Indonesia.
"The troops involved in the eradication of separatists in Papua must be well controlled," he said.
