A lot of suspicion in Indonesia that there are elements in the Netherlands are still playing there that complicate Papua Indonesia and the cancellation of SBY's visit yesterday. I do not really know how much impact it. Easy- hopefully not too far away. "

Anyway, all the affairs of the demonstration is a matter for the police. The military had to withdraw from all matters of internal security and from political interference. "
According to him, there is the possibility of information obtained by the Dutch Government is not accurate. It is true that the current upheaval in Papua, but this should be seen as the Netherlands intervention.
"Since the RTC (Round Table Conference), the Dutch always interfere with the integration of Papua into Indonesia. Tail until now."
