💨 Abstract

Rebels in Indonesia's Papua region claimed responsibility for killing over 17 people since the weekend, disguised as gold miners and allegedly soldiers, with two hostages held. The conflict, over the region's independence, has simmered since its controversial integration into Indonesia in 1969. Rebels have acquired better weapons and abducted foreigners in recent years.
