"The church has tried to mediate, but each side still keep their opinion and if there is a activities to search for those two guns, we would advise that no negative results for citizens who are also God's people," said Father Marthen Ekowaibi Kuayo Fr, Pr, from Dekenat Paniai at the opening Mass of the Holy Book Month in the St. Joseph Catholic Church Enarotali on Sunday morning (04 /09/2011).
The appeal was submitted because there is no solution after the leadership of the Church try to mediates. So, any steps will be taken by both sides must not to sacrifice civilians like the scene a few years ago in Timika, Wasior and other areas in Papua. Church also emphasized that in order to avoid casualties on the part of the community who did not know anything, both parties please take particular location.
TPN OPM does not infiltrate the settlement residents, as well as military / police did not take advantage from local citizens to appoint or lead to the location of TPN OPM. Residents no longer need to be involved or suspected of, let God's people keep doing the activity as usual. "The Church and the surrounding complex is also not used as a hideout," he said as he asserts, the issue of pursuit of two guns is a matter between the TNI / police and TPN OPM, not the affairs of society in Paniai.
The coordinator of The Synod of Papua Kingmi Church in Paniai, Pdt. Gerard Gobay, and the Rev. S. Th. Hans Tebay, S. Th from Pentecostal Church also said the same thing, that the church in the district of Paniai not guilty because he was not involved in the seizure of the weapon. So, if there is the search for two guns, should not be harassing the citizens and not justified citizens were targeted in the search for weapons. "People are not wrong and it's a problem between anyone who did it with the security who have the weapons," he said. Meanwhile, to those who often become informants for both parties, are asked not to develop the issue is not true.
Do also take this opportunity to report something for the sake of venting anger, jealousy and revenge in the past either because there are certain personal problems among citizens themselves. In addition to the Enarotali and Madi, some people who live in Kampung Dagouto, Muyadebe, Uwamani, Kugitadi, Yukeikebo, Badauwo and Stores that are located not far from Eduda, TPN OPM headquarters, has been displaced. While most families opted to stay in their homes. According one resident of Wegamo Village, his village is now empty. No looks more like the previous days. "We are squeezed between the two sides. Now local governments must be responsible to secure the situation in this district."
