People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Speaker Zulkifli Hasan (holding the microphone) speaks at a discussion titled "Looking for a Permanent Solution to the Papua Problem" held by Kompas Daily at the Kompas Editorial Office, Jakarta, Friday (6/9/2019). Other speakers at the discussion included Regional Representatives Council (DPD) chairman Oesman Sapta Odang (left) and House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Bambang Soesatyo (right).

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — A permanent solution is needed to end turmoil in Papua. Thus far, efforts in Papua tend to be initiated only after huge incidents without any effort to resolve the root problems. Respect for culture, social issues and local politics must be prioritized to achieve peace and fairness for Papuans.

Regional Representatives Council (DPD) Speaker Oesman Sapta Odang said that protests in several regions of Papua and West Papua should serve as a valuable lesson for all Indonesians. Issues in Papua had to be tackled continuously, not only when huge incidents occurred.
