The military knows the facts of life. It doesn't have a tradition of overthrowing governments, it doesn't have credibility and we now have a democratic government.

We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the whole society loses because it would only lead to more anarchical violence.

My real fear is that there will be revenge acts. That has happened in the past. That could be very bloody and lead to more serious problems.

The problem with Papua is: who has the legitimacy to negotiate on behalf of Papuans with the government?

We condemn the act of violence and we are really concerned with what happened yesterday and we hope that it won't disturb the agenda for next week's meeting of foreign ministers.

It's true, it's our responsibility because we are the only ones here.
