Papuans not doing enough
I REFER to the letters “Central hard
done by” (Aug 31) by “Kerekere Nihere” and “Suffering the
consequences of selfish leaders’ decisions” (Sept 4) by “Papuan
Mori”.
Both writers accused leaders like Maori Kiki, Tom Koraea, Ebia
Olewale and Dr Reuben Taureka for not fighting for Papua self
independence during the time the four regions of the country
collectively came under one name, Papua New Guinea, to gain
independence.
I challenge both writers and the Papuans, who share the same
dream, to simply digest their aspirations. You are simply
wasting your precious time expressing something that will never
eventuate at this point in time and in the future.
Be proud of being part of the independent state of Papua New
Guinea. What you need to do now is to stand firm on your God
given land and capitalise on the opportunities in front of you.
It is fortunate that the capital city is situated in your
region. So make use of any available opportunities. Be creative
and innovative in doing something to show the people from other
regions that you are proud Papuans who can sustain and
contribute in terms of economic empowerment, human resources,
immense developments in agriculture and fisheries, and other
micro and macro enterprises.
Try to contribute something positive to your region and the
country.
