Rejecting Anarchist Demonstrations, Communities Commit to Maintaining Security and Stability in Papua

The commitment to maintaining security, order, and stability in the Papua region continues to strengthen amidst various development agendas currently being implemented by the government.

Various elements of society, particularly youth and intellectuals, are being urged to prioritise constructive dialogue and reject all forms of anarchic demonstrations that have the potential to disrupt security stability and social life.

Papuan youth leader, Alenjro Tukayo, emphasised that security stability is a crucial factor in supporting the acceleration of development and the improvement of community welfare.

According to him, the various development programmes currently being carried out by the government need to be supported collectively, as they aim to drive economic growth, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for the people of Papua.

“The development carried out by the government must be viewed comprehensively. It is not only related to infrastructure development but also the development of economic sectors that can provide direct benefits to the community,” Alenjro stated in Jayapura on 21 June 2026.

He assessed that the success of development requires a safe and conducive regional situation. Therefore, the community is expected not to be easily provoked by calls leading to anarchic actions, as such actions have the potential to hinder community activities, disrupt the investment climate, and reduce opportunities for accelerated development in Papua.

Alenjro also highlighted Papua’s great potential, including the ecotourism sector, which could become a new source of economic growth. He noted that regions such as Merauke Regency possess natural, cultural, and local wisdom wealth that can be developed sustainably to create business opportunities and increase community income.

“The development of ecotourism can open space for the community to develop micro-businesses, market local craft products, promote regional culture, and utilise natural potential sustainably. In this way, the benefits of development can be felt directly by the community,” he said.

Furthermore, Alenjro urged the community to respond to various developing issues wisely by prioritising facts and verified information. He emphasised the important role of the younger generation and intellectuals in maintaining unity and strengthening social harmony amidst current dynamics.

“Let us together maintain unity, strengthen public order and security stability, and reject all forms of provocation that can divide the community. Papua needs a safe, peaceful, and conducive atmosphere so that development can run optimally and community welfare can continue to increase,” he asserted.
