Save our Papua


The case in Papua certainly worrying everyone, especially the security forces in this country, after the conflict in Aceh after the Helsinki MoU, the turmoil has pushed in Papua, we regret very much what our country has always just be "the game" parties who have interests?, Why armed violence also needs to happen? is there any solution to the problem of Papua for the tranquility and peace of this country?
This is a big challenge for the Government of Indonesia. Because, if the Government does not solve this problem elegantly by considering the Papua society, as well as the triggering factor common solutions to common interests, Papua will experience a "tsunami" of politics that could have led to the disintegration (separation), as well as East Timor.
Proverb that often our daily "where there is sugar there is the ants' right would describe the current condition of Papua. Papua is like sugar which abundant natural resources (SDA) was, ants are local entrepreneurs, national and international fight over the sweetness of Papua. Even the horrendous news that allegedly there are 70 American soldiers who guarded the Freeport gold mine. It was not only the level mengindasikan businessman who played in Freeport but had reached the state level, particularly the United States.
In addition to rich natural resources, Papua is also "rich" will be conflict, strategic issues at the root of the problem in Papua. First, the marginalization and discrimination against indigenous Papuans. Secondly, there is a failure in the field of economic development, education and health. Third, there are different perceptions about the history of Papua or Irian especially about the Act of Free Choice 1969 and the UN-sponsored U.S. according to most of the people of Papua is not valid. Fourth, there is a prolonged trauma since 1966 to power during the New Order as a result of military operations.
Papua problem is a problem that could have occurred in other areas across the country and even the Muslims. Particularly in Indonesia East Timor case it is enough to be a big lesson for the nation, do not let it happen again. Actually the problem of disintegration, a referendum can not be completed until independence in the application of the capitalist system. These problems can only be resolved by applying Islamic kaffah. For example in terms of economic and natural resource management, Islam stipulates that the abundant deposits of natural wealth, such as copper and gold mine in Papua designated as common property. The results gathered in the processing in the state treasury and distributed to finance the construction and service to all citizens without exception. 
Citizens in the eyes of Islam must be treated fairly, there should be no discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, race, color, race, races, religions and groups in terms of government services to them. Rules like these that will save from the Papuan conflict and the desire for independence.
