I'm Samuel Womsiwor, the spokesman of GempaR-Papua, the youth movement for liberation from West Papua that works and fights to protect the indigenous Papuan from colonialism, capitalism and imperialism system.
I started a fight with the Papuan People in 2011 when I learned that it has been manipulating our history and also massive and non-regulated restructuration of Indonesia.
But to go against these issues, my friends and I established GempaR-Papua in 2013 to collaborate, gather and consolidate young people in the same theme, “West Papua Is Not an Empty Land”. That theme means that we are owners of the land; we are the Future of West Papua. We must protect our land from the capitalist system that threatens our future.
I believe all Indigenous people can Change the world after their unity, stand together in their group, team, and so on against the same adversary like imperialism, capitalism, colonialism and militarism.
The International Indigenous Peoples Movement for Self Determination and Liberation (IPMSDL) is a global network of Indigenous Peoples rights activists, advocates, and organizations committed to advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples to self-determination, land, and life.
