The Regent of Intan Jaya, Natalis Tabuni, also stated that his party had several times attempted a cultural and familial approach to resolve problems with these terrorist and separatist groups.
 
"We have done communication many times, using a cultural, familial approach, through churches, village community leaders, the Intan Jaya DPRD institution. Everything we do," said Natalis.

He also emphasized that currently the TPN-OPM group is divided into several groups, each of which wants to show their existence. The Sabinus Waker group is one of the groups that has existed for a long time. However, over time, a new group emerged from Paniai and Puncak, Puncak Jaya.
