Vanuatu Christian Council (VCC) Chairman, Anglican Bishop James Ligo,
says the VCC will take up the West Papua case in its Annual General
Meeting next week, emphasising its firm stand to work with the new
Government to make West Papua its priority.
He says the VCC is taking up the case because it has become clear
that the caretaker Government of Prime Minister Sato Kilman has gone
astray from the original focus of the Founding Fathers of the Struggle
that called for the people of West Papua to be free of Indonesian
slavery to decide their own destiny.
As the Chairman of VCC, the Bishop says he does not see any reason at
all why the Government has not taken up the plight of the “brothers and
sisters” of West Papua.
