"Communication is done so that the KKB group does not do stupid actions that have an impact on the people they rely on or take refuge in.

It is not the KKB who are victims, but the people who are also their brothers and sisters who have been a place of refuge," said Inspector General Pol Fakhiri in Jayapura, Friday, January 28.
