Indonesian President Joko Widodo, delivers his televised remarks at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta, Indonesia
WEST PAPUA’S liberation movement leader Benny Wenda hit out today at a “crackdown order” by Indonesian President Jokowi Widodo, accusing him of waging a genocide against the region’s people.
Mr Widodo was responding after the regional head of the Indonesian State Intelligence Agency (BIN), Brigadier General I Gusti Putu Danny Karya Nugraha, was shot dead during a visit to the Beoga district, where Indonesia is conducting counterinsurgency operations.
“I have ordered the military and police chiefs to pursue and arrest members of the armed criminal group,” Mr Widodo said in a televised statement on Monday.
