kami jumlahkan ada sekitar 101 orang yang ditangkap Pada Kamis (15/8/2024) pukul 11 malam sudah dibebaskan,” katanya kepada sejumlah wartawan saat menggelar jumpa pers yang dihadiri anggota dan pimpinan KNPB se-Wilayah Meepago di Kali Bobo Sedangkan 2 aktivis KNPB yang mengalami luka tembak 8 anggota KNPB juga mengalami luka berat akibat pukulan aparat kepolisian dengan menggunakan sepatu laras “Ada pula benda-benda milik massa aksi yang hilang saat di titik aksi maupun di Polres Nabire kami minta kepada pihak kepolisian agar kembalikan ke pemiliknya segera,” katanya Gerson Pigai melaporkan secara umum kronologis aksi yang berbuntut penangkapan massal oleh polisi KNPB Wilayah Meepago melakukan aksi demonstrasi menentang New York Agrement 15 Agustus 1962 sekaligus memperingati Agustus sebagai Bulan Rasisme di sejumlah titik di Nabire pada Kamis (15/8/2024) pagi Namun di semua titik mereka didatangi aparat polisi dari Polres Nabire dan mereka diangkut ke Kantor Polres Nabire “Massa mulai turun ke titik-titik kumpul sekitar pukul 7 pagi Massa di Kalibobo sudah melakukan orasi sekitar 10 menit langsung aparat polisi datang mengangkut mereka,” katanya Menurutnya aparat kepolisian menangkap massa dengan jumlah yang banyak “Brutalnya massa aksi disuruh buka baju dan berjemur di terik matahari,” katanya Zadrak Kudiyai nilai ruang demokrasi di Nabire buruk Penanggung jawab aksi yang juga Sekretaris KNPB Nabire untuk rencana aksi di SP 1 belum melakukan aksi sudah dibubarkan polisi Sedangkan di Kalibobo massa sudah berada di lokasi Kemudian di Siriwini polisi membubarkan massa aksi pukul 12.46 WIT “Polisi membubarkan tanpa melakukan negosiasi dengan koordinator lapangan di titik kumpul,” ujarnya ada 3 orang yang dapat tangkap,” tambahnya Kemudian aksi di Pasar Karang sudah sampai di titik aksi “Polisi hadang dari Arah Wonorejo dan dari arah Karang Barat dua peserta aksi terkena tembakan peluru aparat keamanan masih berada di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Nabire di Siriwini Kedua korban bernama Andrias Gobay (anggota KNPB Wilayah Dogiyai) dan Yosua Pigome Mereka ditembak di resetlemen samping Kali Nabire “Kedua korban dalam kondisi kritis,” katanya “Andrias Gobay dan Yosua Pigome saat ini masih kekurangan darah dan mereka masih harus dirawat di RSUD Nabire,” tambahnya Menurut Kudiyai tindakan polisi membubarkan aksi demonstrasi KNPB di lima titik di Nabire tersebut melanggar undang-undang dan aparat keamanan tidak memberikan ruang kebebasan “Polisi tidak melakukan pengamanan sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku termasuk protap sesuai dengan Perkap (Peraturan Kapolri) Nomor 1 Tahun 2029 Tentang Penggunaan Kekuatan dalam Tindakan Kepolisian,” ujarnya Zadrak Kudiyai: Di Nabire banyak kepentingan Terkait pemalangan jalan setelah massa aksi dibubarkan di Jembatan Kali Nabire sehingga KNPB tidak bertanggung jawab atas pemalangan jalan yang dimulai dari samping Kali Nabire Transat sampai di jalan raya depan Masjid Wonorejo itu KNPB tidak bertanggung jawab,” katanya karena dalam jumpa pers kedua pihaknya telah mengimbau dan menyampaikan bahwa apabila masalah terjadi dalam aksi dalam keadaan mabuk atau membawa alat tajam maka KNPB tidak bertanggung jawab “Karena kami tahu bahwa di Nabire itu banyak kepentingan,” ujarnya Kudiyai juga menduga pengejaran terhadap orang pendatang yang dilakukan oleh warga non-Papua [atau warga Nusantara] di Wonorejo adalah binaan BIN yang diskenariokan untuk mengacaukan jalannya aksi KNPB dan mengkambinghitamkan KNPB kami sudah sampaikan bahwa kami tidak bertanggung jawab karena di Nabire itu banyak kepentingan Maka dari Transat sampai masjid itu di luar dari tanggung jawab kita karena di luar dari garis komando kita,” katanya Ia juga menyorot tindakan polisi yang menurutnya keliru di mana semua peserta aksi sebelum dipulangkan disuruh untuk menandatangani surat untuk tidak melakukan aksi KNPB lagi karena Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia mengatur bahwa setiap warga negara berhak mengeluarkan pendapat di muka umum,” ujarnya koordinator lapangan umum aksi serentak KNPB Meepago pada Kamis pihaknya mengusung tema aksi KNPB wilayah Meepago di Nabire adalah ‘Usir Kolonialisme Melawan Rasisme’ “Kami keluarkan pernyataan sikap KNPB kemarin saat aksi bersama rakyat Papua Barat menolak perjanjian illegal New York Agreement lawan anti rasisme,” katanya yaitu Indonesia segera membuka ruang demokrasi di Tanah Papua stop pengedropan militer Indonesia ke West Papua Kemudian stop penangkapan terhadap aktivis Papua Merdeka PBB segera tinjau kembali Pepera 1969 dan segera melakukan referendum ulang Indonesia segera membuka jurnalis asing ke West Papua dan Indonesia segera memberikan hak penentuan nasib sendiri bagi Bangsa

Mission Aviation Fellowship is always looking for men and women who want to serve God and the Great Commission While there are several different roles in the ministry pilots are a key component to what MAF does every day He grew up overseas and his parents served with MAF the importance of the airplane to mission work was obvious to Marx and organizations they flew into remote and hard-to-reach areas suddenly had to find less convenient travel options This hampered Great Commission work such as Bible translation and evangelism “I just saw this gap and the struggle and God began working on my heart and I began to pray and say I will step through them and I could maybe fill the shoes of those pilots who are gone now.’” Marx attended Moody Bible Institute for a Bachelor of Science in Mission Aviation Technology He then got the rest of his necessary licenses and joined MAF as a pilot So what does a day in the life of an MAF pilot look like Marx gives us a glimpse into one of his personal reflections after a day of taking missions to the skies: I thought back to what had been accomplished with the plane to Pogapa I had half a dozen schoolkids who had been boarding in Nabire and now get to go back to their village and to their parents for Christmas (Photo courtesy of Mission Aviation Fellowship) a young lady was experiencing a miscarriage She was into her second trimester and the baby had passed Now she seemed to be in quite a lot of pain I would evacuate her to Nabire where doctors can help her There’s a special account where I can charge emergency medical needs one of the local teachers came running up to the plane She just found out her father passed away and she needs to fly home.’ I did my best to comfort these two passengers as we headed back to Nabire a huge privilege to help during their time of deepest need “Third leg was a plane full of pastors headed to Beoga there were many ‘amens!’ and enthusiastic ‘praise the Lord!’ It was pretty funny but terrific at the same time Their culture is different than mine and I appreciate and enjoy it “Fourth leg was full of folks headed over the mountain range to Timika and probably further for the holidays I had to fight some really tall rain clouds maintaining max climb performance all the way to 14,500 feet where I donned an oxygen mask and maneuvered to a safer air route where I could punch through the weather to better skies on the other side I landed in moderate rain and heavy crosswind in Timika “My fifth leg would take me back through that weather.” He pauses for an audible shudder I picked up some-60 pastors from interior villages for a ministry planning conference in Timika Now I would take nine of those home to their village on Dofu I briefed my passengers about the weather we’d face and then decided to swing out west hoping to find a better situation I only had to climb to 13,000 feet to clear the building storm a Bible translator who’s been working here for 20 or more years is making progress building his home with supplies that MAF delivered this fall Pray for John and his team of Edopi tribal pastors who bring salt and light to a very dark corner of the jungle “I found myself on the last leg back home to Nabire with three nurses and the doctor from Dofu all headed home for Christmas it’s unbelievable that today is just another average day at MAF Only God could take a group of simple pilots and little airplanes and do so much with them.’” One of the flights delivering a combined 7,000 pounds of plywood in Papua photo courtesy of Mission Aviation Fellowship) So what about you? Would you like to become a pilot with Mission Aviation Fellowship? Click here to check out their website and learn more! When asked what his favorite part is about being a missionary pilot, Marx doesn’t miss a beat: “Not a flight goes by when I can’t look in the back of the plane and see the reason that I came to Papua. Sometimes it’s a missionary or a pastor or an evangelist. Other times, it’s a teacher and schoolbooks. And sometimes it’s a huge pile of cargo…. That’s my favorite part, is just being able to serve.” Check back tomorrow as we talk with MAF’s recruitment coordinator about the technical and spiritual aspects of becoming a missionary pilot.

(AFP: Michal Cizek, file photo) Link copiedShareShare articleOnly four northern white rhinos remain on earth after a 31-year-old female named Nabire died in the Czech Republic late on Monday, zookeepers said. The animal born at Dvur Kralove zoo in the country's north died from complications of a ruptured cyst, the zoo said in a statement. "Her death is a symbol of the catastrophic decline of rhinos due to a senseless human greed," zoo director Premysl Rabas said. "Her species is on the very brink of extinction." The northern white rhinoceros has been nearly wiped out by hunting and poaching for their horns, and by wars in Africa, according to the World Wildlife Foundation. The four remaining rhinos include Nola, an elderly female living at a zoo in San Diego, and Sudan, an elderly male living with two females — Najin and her daughter Fatu — on the Ol Pejeta reserve in Kenya. The Ol Pejeta rhinos were shipped from the Czech zoo in 2009 in the hope that the natural environment would encourage breeding. Dvur Kralove is the world's only zoo to have succeeded at the captive breeding of the rare rhino.

The zookeepers at Dvůr Králové removed Nabire's healthy ovary as soon as she died, and they're now working on harvesting any remaining eggs. As Rachel Feltman reports for the The Washington Post these eggs will still be immature (the rhinos only release a mature egg every 30 days) but scientists hope they might be able to coax them into maturity in the lab or frozen sperm that's been collected over the years and then implant it into a similar species such as the southern white rhino in an attempt to produce new offspring "A first step involves sequencing the genomes of northern white rhinos to clarify the extent of genetic divergence from their closest relative But there are also researchers out there who think it may be too late to save species such as rhinos and pandas and that the resources could potentially be better spent trying to help out more viable survivors it's a pretty heartbreaking choice to have to make when so many of these creatures have been wiped out by human activity in the first place it would definitely be a big win if our human ingenuity could bring a species back from the brink of extinction for once Australian-supported Indonesian police special forces have shot dead a teenage Papuan high school student in central Nabire city, West Papua, reports West Papua Media The shooting took place on Monday in an “apparently premeditated ambush without provocation according to credible reports and witnesses from the scene” Local independent media in Nabire, UmagiNews are reporting that the extrajudicial killing occurred as the high school students were passing by the heavily armed police patrol near a roundabout in central Nabire West Papua Media stringers have confirmed these reports YPPGI (Senior High School) Karang Mulia Nabire West Papua after being chased by at least three vehicles full of heavily armed whose name has been withheld for protection told UmagiNews that Pekei was seen riding on a motorbike carrying a noken bag bearing the outlawed Morning Star pro-independence symbol where more Densus88 armed members of the police were awaiting him at three points Pekei was then shot in front of the new city complex at the Nabire regent’s office allegedly from several directions simultaneously UmagiNews has published a series of diagrams given by witnesses showing from where different armed units shot Pekei the second from within the memorial monuments and the third from the D88 cars of Dalmas Porles Nabire Unconfirmed reports seen by West Papua Media stringers allege that among the shooters were a heavily armed patrol of black clad special forces police belonging to the Australian-trained and funded counter-terror unit Special Detachment (Densus) 88 Densus88 has been used extensively for several years to conduct extremely violent repression against Papuan civilians engaged in peaceful acts of free expression and is currently deployed heavily across Papua whilst still receiving funding and training from the Australian Federal Police West Papua Media has published photos of Pekei – provided for publication by his family with permission – showing the entry wound caused by a bullet which is inconsistent with road impact at low-speed Warning: Images on this weblink may be distressing for some human rights observers told UmagiNews that questions arose that if Pekei was considered a road accident victim who was unconscious why he was dumped in the mortuary instead of receiving an attempt to revive him in the emergency room of the hospital Other circumstances surrounding the shooting have not been confirmed at time of writing and Indonesian police in Nabire have refused to answer phone and SMS messages from West Papua Media and local stringers This shooting is not the first time an event like this has occurred the Bloody Paniai incident occurred that left four unarmed Papuan teenagers dead and 17 more Papuans injured when the Indonesian army and police opened fire on peaceful protesters in

rhinoceros species has died She was born and died at the Dvur Kralove zoo in the Czech Republic She was killed by the rupture of a massive cyst — one of many that had plagued her reproductive system her entire life Although Nabire’s cysts kept her from reproducing naturally zookeepers had made attempts to breed her using in vitro fertilization techniques which haven’t yet been successful in any rhinoceros Of the four remaining members of the species which has suffered great losses because of poaching and destruction of habitat That’s not a lot of genetic diversity to work with even if breeding efforts were more successful two are too old to reproduce and one has health issues preventing her from doing so Nabire’s death may indeed be the last nail in the coffin for her species But the Dvur Kralove zoo is holding out hope for one final chance Nabire’s healthy ovary was removed immediately upon her death and scientists will work to harvest any eggs that they can Those eggs would be immature — the species produces one mature egg only every 30 days — but the hope is that scientists can figure out how to coax them into maturity in the lab These artificially matured eggs could be fertilized using the sperm of the last surviving male of the species who lives in Kenya along with two infertile females or with any of the many sperm samples frozen throughout the years as the population dwindled it could be carried to term by a member of a closely related species but it seems like it’s the species’ only hope A moderate magnitude 4.0 earthquake hit 186 km (115 mi) away from
