The Jayawijaya Regency Office burns during a riot in Wamena, Jayawijaya regency, Papua, on Sept. 23 (23/9/2019).

News coming out of Wamena is saddening. Thousands have registered to be airlifted to Jayapura. Some people have no relatives in the area and are staying at shelters.

These people, who mostly come from other regions, such as West Sumatra, chose to move to Wamena to make a living there. They opened businesses and embarked on a peaceful life. What was to be feared after all, they were still within the territory of the Republic of Indonesia, a shared home that is supposed to provide peace and protection to its people.
