Here Are the Mission, Goal and Targets of TPN:
| We are not fighting for nothing or with nothing, but we have mission, goal and targets as a people and as an organisation. Until these become reality for West Papua, we are not going to give it up. |
TPN has a mission to protect the interests of the Papuans, to prevent further violations of human rights and land rights, to prevent further exploitation of our natural environment and to stop further destruction of our ecology and ecosystem, because we are the native inhabitants of the land and we have a duty to do so at any cost.
The only Goal of TPN is to free West Papua from Indonesia's colonial power and to establish an independent West Papua as a people and as a country.
For TPN, the term independent can mean anything that does not dependent on foreign interference such as:
- First of all and primarily, economically not dependent on foreign institutions and powers. Therefore, the offer of autonomy by Indonesia is not the solution to our aspiration.
- Second thing to notice is that West Papua is politically not dependent on foreign influence and intervention, which means involvement in the political activities in the world should be carefully and comprehensively considered to agree with the interests of the Papuans, not foreigners. This includes legal, human rights and democracy issues;
- The third goal we want to reach is so that West Papua as a people and as a country socio-culturally not influenced by alien practices and beliefs.
Target: Year 2005 = West Papua is Politically Independent
TPN has targets, but all targets are cross-checked with all politicians, political organisations and the OPM. (We are sorry that we cannot give you our long term plans and plans of actions in details here.)
- Year 2001: Internationalise the Issue of West Papua independence movement
- Year 2002: Force the Foreign Powers who live in West Papua to support, if not they will face TPN's retaliation. If possible, all foreign companies operating in West Papua will be negotiated for possible cooperation, and if not there will be actions taken not only by TPN but all Papuans. We expect that National Dialogue Starts in this year. Then if possible the International Dialogue as well.
- Year 2003: If there is no way out at all, this year is the year of warship all over West Papua. We will target foreign investments and foreigners who we believe members of foreign intelligence and foreign missionaries who mostly pretend to be do-gooders but in fact they are murderers of out culture, our identity as Papuans and our beliefs as a people, which automatically allow foreign powers to easily take our resources out and kill us if they want.
- Year 2004: Force Indonesia and the international community to sit on a Dialogue Table, first between Papuans and Indonesians, then between Papuans and Americans, Dutch and Indonesians.
- Year 2005: Re-Declare the Independence of West Papua and Re-Claim the Land of West Papua.
-
WE HAVE PUT OUR LIVES, OUR INTEGRITY, OUR FUTURE AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE; FORGETTING LIFE IN PEACE AND SECURITY AND PROTECTION? UNDER INDONESIA COLONY FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS NOW.
-
WE HAVE STARTED A GOOD WORK, AND WE KNOW WE ARE GOING TOWARDS A CLEAR GOAL: AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY OF WEST PAPUA.
-
THERE IS NO WORD AND WAY OF TURNING BACK, UNFORTUNATELY, AT WHATEVER COST, BUT WE ARE READY TO GO FOR IT.
-
AND NOT ONLY US (TPN) or ME PERSONALLY AS MATHIAS WENDA, BUT UNTIL A SINGLE PAPUAN STILL ALIVE ON THIS PLANET or ANY PLANET THAT YOU KNOW OF, THE WISH AND STRUGGLE FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF WEST PAPUA WILL BE THERE, ALIVE, STRONG, AND WITH TOTAL DETERMINATION.
