The newly elected governor of Indonesia’s Papua province, Lukas Enembe says he will approach separatist groups and offer to empower them.
He says the government needs to listen to separatists and he expects better communication through his new approach.
Governor Enembe expected all regents facing problems with separatists to follow his lead, but he needs support from the central government.
He says the ongoing problems for citizens are injustice and a lack of prosperity.
Lukas Enembe’s administration will focus on education, welfare and development, and will use the special autonomy funds to finance the programmes.
Papua has received 2.9 billion US dollars of special autonomy funds in the last decade.
