JAKARTA - Korem (Danrem) 172 / PWY Commander Brig. Gen. Izak Pangemanan said that the presence of the TNI in Papua is a solution to creating peace and security in the land of Cenderawasih.

This was conveyed by Danrem when providing supplies to the Task Force for Security of Prone Areas (Satgas Pamrahwan) Special Raider Battalion 751 / VJS, at the Mako Hall of Yonif RK 751 / VJS, Sentani, Jayapura Regency.

Danrem said the supplies were given to 500 personnel of the Special Raider Infantry Battalion 751 / VJS who would replace the 432 / WSJ Para Raider Infantry Battalion as the Pamrahwan Task Force under the control of the Korem 172 / PWY Operations Implementation Command (Kolakops).

The strategy being carried out, said Danrem, was to defeat the Papuan KKB without fighting. This means resolving the Papuan conflict without being colored by bloodshed, painting the Morning Star red and white by winning the minds, souls and feelings of the Papuan people.

"This is what we want to emphasize to our soldiers who will carry out their operational duties so that they understand how to carry out their duties in Papua. They must be aware that the presence of a task force in Papua is to create security stability in each area of their responsibility, "said Brigadier General Izak Pangemanan, Commander of the Military Police Command in an official broadcast received by VOI, Friday, May 7.

Thus, the development in this land of Papua will run well and safely. Ongoing development will be followed by an increase in community welfare. People who are prosperous will not be easily provoked by parties who want to undermine the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.

To the soldiers, Danrem had high hopes for carrying out the task as emphasized by the leadership. Carrying out duties in a professional manner, carrying out tasks by looking at existing problems, then overcoming these problems without adding new problems, we (TNI) are here to be a solution, not the other way around.

"Working with the heart to build a better future for Papua, so that the Papuan people feel comfortable with the TNI, the community will guard the post where they are assigned to work," said Brigadier General Izak Pangemanan.
