West Papua: The cries of God's people in Bibida

"On Sunday, June 16 2024, I, as the Head of the Bibida District, Paniai Regency, took 8 trucks of my community to evacuate to the Holy Cross Parish Catholic Church, Paniai Deanery, Timika West Papua Diocese."

These were the words of the local Regent, in tears when recording a video of Bibida residents fleeing their homes. The conflict in West Papua continues to occur. Let the Melanesian, Pacific, African and International communities see the suffering of God's people in West Papua due to the occupation and crimes committed by the Indonesian Military.

Papuans, let's unite and move together to save our humanity and natural environment before Indonesia and cruel global capitalism destroy it. May God open the way. Because for Him, nothing is impossible!
