Still smiling despite the terror...

Here comes the News for all humanity that we are now entering a new opportunity, available once again for humanity and all of
us here, sisters and brothers.

From me, deep in the jungles of the ENDS OF THE WORLD.....

Here comes the News for all humanity that we are now entering a new opportunity, available once again for humanity and all of
us here, sisters and brothers.

I am here, where all nights are Silent Nights, no lights, no electricity, no candles, all nights are, yes, Silent Nights.

But all hearts are shining out, sending greetings and blessings to you all. May peace in heart and mind be with
you all.

I am now in a place where peace is somewhat beyond reach.

Fear and terror are occupying the hearts and minds of all Papuans. But amazingly, the faces are still shining, as it was when I was a child, a boy, a teenager and a man today;
all the way long, they cheer, they laugh, they sing, they dance, they bless,
all of it, you name it.

We are in a family of tribes and we are heading towards something worth
fighting for. We know that we have enemies, but we are also aware that we are
not alone.

From these ENDS OF THE WORLD, I would like to say: MERRRY CHRISTMAS! to all of
you.

Wa, wa, wa!
