Dozens of Papuan students in Yogyakarta held a declaration in front of the Gajah Mada University roundabout. The students expressed their support for the government so that the Special Autonomy (Otsus) for Papua be continued.
"We Papuan and West Papuan students who are members of the 'Yogyakarta Unified Papuan Student Coalition' view Papuan Otsus as having a positive impact on Papua's development, especially regarding education," said the coordinator of the declaration, Baren.
He stated that Papuan student support for Otsus was an obligation. Moreover, this is related to education, improving Papuan human resources which should be the government's priority.
Meanwhile, regarding the declaration at the UGM Yogyakarta roundabout, Baren said this was the wish of Papuan students as a concrete step to provide support for the progress of the Cendrawasih Earth. He hopes that Otsus Papua Volume II can also guarantee students who are currently studying, both in Papua and outside the region.
"We will continue to struggle to convey our aspirations to the central government so that Special Autonomy for Papua Volume II will continue. In addition, there must be an Otsus budget oversight body related to the Papua Special Autonomy budget policy Volume II, "said Baren.
According to him, Special Autonomy for Papua Volume II must be continued by paying attention to aspects of social welfare and development through a budget scheme that includes priorities for infrastructure and educational scholarships.
