Vanuatu Free West Papua Association Chairman expresses concern of Indonesians

The Chairman of the Vanuatu Free West Papua Association, Job Dalesa, has expressed concern with the safety of Indonesians in the country.

It comes following reports of an Indonesian performance group being booed off the stage at the recent Melanesian Arts Festival in Port Vila last week.

In a letter, Mr Dalesa said Ni-Vanuatu people loved Indonesians but hated the treatment of West Papuans by Indonesians.

The Daily Post reported the Indonesian group had to stop halfway through their performance and leave for a nearby cafe.
