Question remains on Commander's Mail
Chairman of the Synod of the Church Gospel Tent AD (Kingmi) Papua Pdt. Dr. Benny Giay confirmed, it received clarification submitted Commander XVII / Cenderawasih Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu, that he never accused the Church of Kingmi Papuan separatists as submitted before the leadership of DPRP in the courtroom of Commission A on Monday (7/18/2011).

Because, after listening to documents posted on the online site Australia newmatilda.com issue was that created the document is the Regional Commander XVII / Cenderawasih Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu.

However, he added, his side did not agree and continue to question the policy of military commander to make a letter to the institution - an institution, as well as put pressure on Governor Dr. (HC) Suebu SH to consider providing funds in accordance with the mission of each church and not to the Church that Kingmi blamed too political on one side, and not purely Christian mission in Papua.

While on the other hand, the Army gave specific guidance to the Church. Chairman of the Synod of the Church of Papua Kingmi Pdt. Beny Giay shows two sheets of paper related news leaked letter TNI / AD that revealed the frightening tactics newmatilda.com publications posted online site Australia on Thursday (07/07/2011) at Kingmi Synod Office, Jayapura, on Tuesday (07/19/2011).

To prove the truth of the statement Pangdam XVII / Cenderawasih Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu, it gives two pieces of copy statements Commander XVII / Cenderawasih Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu posted on the online site newmatilda.com Australia publications in both English and Indonesian.

Leaked a newspaper from a General of the Army that showed the Indonesian government's efforts to disband one of the Church in Papua with the threat of decisive action.

Looking from the outside and into the Church of the last conflict in Papua, may seem like another example of the political factions of the Protestant Church. Not too important, why and who who was involved.

But the meticulous and galih over into another, we discover something disturbing.
Leaked a letter from the head of the Army in Papua received newmatilda.com stating that the conflict was not an internal problem of the Church: the Church GKII that his people are scattered all over Indonesia and Papua Kingmi Church that broke away. Leaked letter is associated with the Indonesian government efforts to suppress movements for cultural pride and autonomy in the land that continues to flare up on the outskirts of the Pacific.

The point is that conflict raises the question whether the Church of Papua Kingmi have the right to secede from the GKII and established an independent Synod of the Church, go back to settings / status before 1982.

The question is: why the army was involved? Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu been involved in a conflict that he himself recognized it as an internal matter of the Church. In a letter numbered R/773/lv/2011 indicated to the Governor of Papua, Barnabas Suebu, dated 30 April 2011 with the classification of "secret", Triassunu "respectfully requested" the Governor to convene a meeting between GKII and Kingmi Papua. The general also offered himself as mediator.

The letter was so reads "if the conflict can not be solved through dialogue and talks, decisive action must be taken".

In the letter, Triassunu who previously served in Aceh, throwing a number of allegations. He accused the Papua Kingmi trying to get as much money as much as possible from the Special Autonomy from government in order to create a new church congregation. But the real purpose of the Church Kingmi build a network of the Church, according to Triassunu, is "to strengthen the ideals of civil society Papuans for freedom".

In the letter also stated that the Church wishes to become an independent Papua Kingmi is a reason the Church was to be a means of support for the struggle for political "independence Papuans.

Triassunu then gave a number of recommendations (proposals). He detailed that Papua Kingmi Church officials should adhere to the dogma of the Bible "and not go into politics. "The general was standing on solid ground here, following in the footsteps of many of dictator Marcos to Pinochet, who is famous for crippling the priests who are considered nosy and critical," said Benny.

Triassunu specifically mentions Pdt.Benny Giay (Chairman of the Synod of Papua Kingmi) now), seblum Karubaba (Chairman Kingmi Papuan Synod earlier) and Noakh Nawipa (STT Chief Welter Post, Post 7 Sentani, Papua) as the head of the Church who are not satisfied, and mentions several seminars organized by the trio's where the problem of "Free Papua" is discussed.
All this has Gemah of Suharto, who systematically perform depoliticization (read: violently disperse and suppress) all independent organizations, including religious clergy, for fear they could become the basis for an organized opposition against the regime.

It is said, Democrats might have toppled Suharto's Indonesia, but Papua is not part of a new democratic Indonesia. What is particularly alarming is that in the context of Papua label, "separatists are regularly used against the leaders of Papua as an excuse to justify the actions of state security measures outside the law / courts.

"This is where the plot thicken. According to the earlier letter, the generals decided to get involved in the conflict after a GKII pastor, the Rev.. Karel Maniani, directly asking the Army to protect members of his church congregation, "he said. (Tim PPGI / Binpa)
