One of the West Papuan children who graduated from a pilot school in Florida, America, was not allow to operate planes in Indonesia because he was suspected of being a supporter of Free West Papua movement, which is absolutely ridiculous. This is just another Indonesian attempt to prevent any indigenous West Papuan from flying planes in its airspace. It’s the “Apartheid” system in Indonesia that the government of President Joko Widodo continues to deny ever existed. We are seeing it here.

4 responses to “A West Papuan US-educated Pilot Denied by Indonesia”
The unjust country is Indonesia
That is ridiculous, When Papuan do manage to get educated and get a job without they are fired for being proud of their own race. Indonesia is violent to West Papuan. They are not Indonesian and never will be. They need their independence back, and this man needs his job back and to fly international West Papua air ways
Agree wholeheartedly. This man is more qualified than any other pilots in Asia or Indonesia, and he should be allowed to fly any plane within Indonesian airspace. Rejecting him, based on false allegations, is a violation of his right as an individual. He should file a case against discrimination before human rights tribunal.
Indonesians are always like That they don,t want the west papuan to hundle high postition like that so thats way they make false excuses…
