We ask for your prayers and your positive thoughts, today, tonight, tomorrow, wherever you are.
Since its inception, the ULMWP has been closely following developments
in Pacific gatherings, including that of the Pacific Islands Forum
(PIF), in order to promote and advocate for the West Papuan call for
freedom.
As many of you will know, the 48th PIF Leaders Meeting is
taking place from 4-8 September 2017, in Apia, Samoa. Such a Leaders
Meeting is usually followed by what they
call the “Forum Leaders Retreat”, where the Heads of States (or those
representing them) are by themselves… and where they take final
decisions on what they will put down in their final communiqué which
will summarize their position on matters that were on the agenda,
including on West Papua.
After a long week of activities, where CSOs issued statements in support
of our cause and demonstrated in front of the building, ULMWP Secretary
General, Octo Mote, who has been actively participating in the lobbying
inside the building, informs us he did all he could, and he is glad to
have been receiving the help of our Melanesian and Pacific sisters and
brothers and allies who have given us their support since the beginning.
We are all humbled by their deep solidarity.
Now all we can do
is pray that the final outcome of the conference will be a good one. So
we ask you, our friends, our sisters, our brothers, our fellow
combatants, to pray with us. For those of you who don’t pray, just send
your positive thoughts and vibes, so that the Leaders of the Pacific are
inspired into doing what is right for the Pacific, for West Papua.
Free West Papua, Free the Pacific. Merdeka !
