What the Indonesian military is doing is criminal and barbaric, writes Charlie Hill-Smith.
THE highest mountains between the Himalayas and the Andes
are the snow-topped crags of West Papua (4884 metres). A tropical
glacier pokes out of the sweltering green of Asia's largest rain
forests. This is the second largest island on earth, with 15 per cent of
all the world's languages, an encyclopaedic biodiversity and a new El
Dorado for our resource-hungry world.
Most of us know little about the shady goings-on inside
the giant forested island just to our north. But a constant trickle of
murders, disappearances, arrests, torture and a wave of mass civil
actions have raised the international volume of this previously silent
war.
