What is Papuan KKB?

Some of you may still be curious about what the Papuan KKB is to the history of the Papuan KKB.

The Papuan KKB is indeed often reported on because of their brutality which has resulted in fatalities.

Both TNI-Polri and civilians are often victims of their acts of terror.

KKB Papua stands for Papuan Armed Criminal Group.
 
They are a group that often spreads terror against civilians as well as the TNI and Polri in the Papua region.

The purpose of the Papuan KKB is to break away from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

Therefore, the Papuan KKB can be called a separatist movement whose actions often take lives.

Before being born as the Papuan KKB, this group was formerly known as the Free Papua Organization (OPM).
 
As reported by Kompas.com in the article 'The History of the Emergence of the Papuan KKB'.

The OPM was founded in 1965 to end the administration of the provinces of Papua and West Papua, previously called Irian Jaya. They intend to break away from Indonesia.

The OPM also often voices about a referendum so that it can be independent from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

In fighting for the group's wishes, they several times carried out criminal movements that claimed lives.

Therefore, the government then took the initiative to establish Special Autonomy for Papua with a large budget.

Unfortunately, the budget is only used by the elite, not to the wider community.
 
This then triggered a massive resistance movement from the OPM by committing various crimes.

One of the crimes committed by the OPM was in 1996, when they arrested a number of Europeans and Indonesians consisting of research groups and forest camps.

Two hostages from the research group were killed, while the others were released. Because of its actions, the OPM is often labeled as a criminal organization.

Therefore, the term OPM was later changed to KKB or Armed Criminal Group.
 
If one of the Papuan KKB groups is caught, they will be immediately detained for criminal reasons.

Because the purpose of the KKB is to free Papua from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, this group is considered a separatist movement, which can threaten the integrity of the country.

According to records, KKB often acts in mountainous areas in Papua. Several regencies which until now are considered vulnerable from their actions, such as Puncak, Yahukimo, Nduga and Intan Jaya.

Meanwhile, there are five groups that have been mapped out with their leaders, namely Lekagak Telenggen, Egianus Kogoya, Jhony Botak, Demianus Magai Yogi and Sabinus Waker.

Of the five groups, Lekagak Telenggen and Egianus Kogoya are considered the most dangerous.

Until now, Papuan KKB is difficult to eradicate because they are armed with complete and up-to-date weapons.
 
Several crimes that have been committed by the Papuan KKB include assaulting workers, stabbing, shooting, and burning houses and schools in several areas in Papua.
