JAKARTA - Army Chief of Staff (KSAD), TNI General Dudung Abdurachman dispatched a number of Army (AD) troops to Papua to pursue the armed criminal group (KKB) Papua through Halim Perdanakusuma airport, East Jakarta, Friday, February 10.

"Today I will go to Halim. I want to see the troops who will be dispatched to Papua, I will give them morals," TNI General Dudung told reporters at the Army Headquarters (Mabesad), Central Jakarta, Friday, February 10, afternoon.

TNI General Dudung hopes that the TNI troops dispatched to Papua can serve well. The TNI is also expected to be able to protect the people in Papua from all threats from the Papuan KKB.

"Hopefully carrying out their duties properly and taking care of the people there from threats or intimidation from the KKB. I think that's the point in this Rapim that we discussed," he said after chairing the TNI AD 2023 Leadership Meeting (Rapim).

General TNI Dudung hopes that the Army will remain in the hearts of the people. Meanwhile, after arriving in Papua, the TNI's approach to the Papuan people will still be carried out humanely.

"The approach remains humane. But this is the authority of the TNI Headquarters. I only sent it, but the one who used it was the TNI Headquarters," he concluded.
