Papuans hold a rally before the parliament office to oppose the addition of more troops to their region in West Papua province in April 2023. Church leaders and advocacy groups have opposed Indonesia’s plan to set up military posts across all provinces in the Southeast nation, accusing the authorities of efforts to enhance the military's role in civilian life.
Indonesia’s defense ministry is adamant about going ahead with its plan to add regional military commands in 38 provinces despite criticism from various quarters. The army, led by its chief General Dudung Abdurachman, wants to set up one military command in each province, at the direction of Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto who said the military needed to closely interact with local governments as part of a grand defense strategy.
Augustinian priest Father Bernard Baru, a Papuan humanitarian activist, said the move is part of a threat to normal life in strife-torn Papua.
