Subject: DECLARATION OF WAR

Greetings in Prayers,

I, the Commander in Chief of the TPN/OPM West Papua, General TPN PB Mathias Wenda would like to Announce the Declaration of War to the International Community that:

1. I, the Commander in Chief of TPN/OPM, responsible (accountable) for the declaration of this war (we are ready for war)

2. I am prepared now to force the Indonesians to get out from West Papua by force.

3. Since 1960s to today (2002), there have been enough death tools and sufferings of lives, belongings, and many others.

4. The International World should make sure that you have the special attention for West Papua in 2003, as Indonesia is going to be brutal again against the people.

5. This declaration of war is in accordance with the people's aspiration and wish.

Therefore, I, the holder of the Command of the people's movement would like to once again declare this war against the colonial power of Indonesia.

May the world know from now that this declaration is announced to the world according to the aspiration of Papuan people and we would like to thank you for your attention.

I thank you very much.

The Commander in Chief of TPN/OPM West Papua


Mathias Wenda
