President Jokowi wants to meet Papuan KKB members who have given up on these conditions

In the midst of continuing to escalate the conflict due to the actions of members of the Papuan Armed Criminal Group or KKB Papua, not a few of them have surrendered and want to return to the lap of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

This seems to be good news for President Jokowi who does not want Papua to be separated from the Republic of Indonesia.
 
President Joko Widodo or Jokowi is said to be willing to meet members of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) who have returned to the lap of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

This was conveyed by the Regional Police Chief or Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Pol Mathius D Fakhiri.

"It is true that the President some time ago stated that he was willing to meet the former KKB who was aware and wanted to work with his brother to develop the region," said the Papuan Police Chief, quoted from Antara, Saturday, December 25, 2021.

"However, they or the former KKB must absolutely stop spreading armed terror acts in Papua."

Mathius admitted that he had asked religious leaders to take part in providing understanding to the KKB.

This needs to be done so that they no longer disturb the residents and security forces, but actively participate in developing the Papua region.
 
"The role of religious leaders is very important because if we continue to approach groups that do not agree with us, I am sure that one day they will realize it," said Mathius.

“Moreover, the Papuan Police made a breakthrough by recruiting 2,000 non-commissioned officers through the Noken Bintara Program which was financed through the special autonomy fund.”

Currently, of the 2,000 non-commissioned officers, 1,998 have been sworn in. They will later be assigned to their home area or the police station where they registered.

As for the two non-commissioned police officers who were not appointed, one of them died as a result of a traffic accident that occurred in Jambi.
 
The presence of the non-commissioned officer, Mathius said, is expected to be a bridge that will make their families who are still at odds want to return to the bosom of the Republic of Indonesia.

"This includes being willing to put down their weapons, so that the community can enjoy the results of the development," said Inspector General Pol Mathius.

Previously it was reported that as many as 21 members of the Papuan Armed Criminal Group aka KKB Papua in the Ambaidiru Region, Kosiwo District, Papua surrendered and made a promise to return to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

Dozens of KKB members in Ambaidiru Village, Kosiwo District, Yapen Islands Regency, Papua, have pledged allegiance to the Republic of Indonesia.
 
This happened after the raid on their military training ground by members of the Yapen Islands Police and Kodim 1709 Yawa, Saturday 18 December 2021.

Accompanied by the head of the Rawai tribe and four village heads around the Moman Ambadiru mountains, these 21 members of the Papuan KKB surrendered themselves to the Yapen Islands police headquarters.

The surrender of the 21 members of the Papuan KKB was directly received by the Yapen Police Chief, the 1709 Yawa Dandim and the Yapen District Government.
 
The return of 21 members of the Papuan KKB to the Republic of Indonesia was marked by the pronunciation of the pledge and pledge of allegiance to return to the Republic of Indonesia and kissing the red and white flag.

Members of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Ambaidiru Village, Kosiwo District, surrendered to the Yapen Police in the presence of Assistant II to the Yapen Islands Regent, Edy Mudumi, as well as local village heads.

They admit that they have gone the wrong way and want to return to the Republic of Indonesia.

Launching from ANTARA, the Head of the Ops Nemangkawi Public Relations Task Force, Police Commissioner Ahmad M Kamal, in a written statement received in Jakarta, Sunday, said that the surrender to state officers who were members of the Papuan KKB in the Kosiwo District was in order to spread the infection to others.
 
So that the security and security situation in Yapen Regency is more conducive.

"Conducive conditions, so we can concentrate on developing the region by increasing human resources and infrastructure to support people's lives to create prosperity," he said.

The surrender procession of the armed group, also known as the KKB, took place in the Yapen Police Headquarters field, Saturday 18 December 2021, and was also witnessed by the Head of Kesbangpol Yapen Regency, Sony Woria.

One of the Papuan KKB members, Ambaidiru, who surrendered, said they had chosen the wrong path, so they decided to return to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia to realize the unity of the Republic of Indonesia.

"The head of the Polres has said that we don't need independence anymore, we have all agreed to bring ourselves here and admit our mistakes.

Therefore, now we want to come back and unite together in advancing the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," he said.
 
The Yapen Police Chief, AKBP Ferdyan I Fahmi, said that the security forces in the Yapen Islands have a high commitment to protecting the area.

"We have considered the Yapen community as part of the family. We TNI-Polri, including the regional government will not remain silent," he said.

According to him, after the officers carried out law enforcement in the Yapen Islands, the TNI and the police tried to do so in a persuasive and humane way to provide understanding and convince the Yapen people that the state apparatus in the Yapen Islands is part of the family, not the enemy.

"We are here to help the local government to develop the Yapen Archipelago and help accelerate welfare so that the whole community can feel it, in terms of education and in terms of health," he said.


The TNI and the police are currently also focusing on protecting the community and protecting the community in welcoming this Christmas celebration.

"We have to make sure that Christmas celebrations run in a peaceful, safe, full of joy and wisdom so that all of our brothers and sisters who celebrate Christmas can carry out their worship in peace," he said.

He welcomed the real efforts of the armed group from Kampung Ambaidiru to surrender and pledge allegiance to Indonesia.

"Papua has always been Indonesia, Indonesia has been Papua, so there are no longer external struggles, there is no longer such a thing as a struggle in the name of Free Papua or West Papua, West Papua," he said.
