Simon Petrus Sapioper ( PARNA PAPUA / NAPA PAPUA )
The President of the National Government of the Republic of West Papua, concretising the mission of his cabinet, remains centred on: The spirit of the National Motto: "One People, One Soul".
The President defines the National Government in terms of where it is and how it needs to be interpreted. It is about who we are, what we are worth, who we are fighting for and how we want to do it.
It gives back the ambition of knowledge and the responsibility of engagement with the political doctrine and service of the National Government duties to the extent of contributing to the overall quality of the duties that the President and his cabinet have.
The goals and ambitions of the President and his cabinet in the National Government are guided by the decision of the 15 July 1970 meeting at Victoria Headquarters in which is being declared:"The struggle for the independence of the Republic of West Papua must absolutely be continued and the existence of both the internal and external interests are being recognised.”
The President of the National Government concretising the mission and vision means the Liberation of the Papuan people who choose unilateral independence. The right to unilateral independence also means saving "The liferights of Papuans, especially the Papuan people as fighters in the Papua region of Indonesia who are politically oppose the Republic of Indonesia from annihilation (in all forms and ways).
The President's responsibility and obligation is to maintain the cultural, identity and politics of Papuans who are truly counter-political because they recognise the history of the national struggle based on the political basis of the "Unilateral Declaration of Independence, Proclamation 1 July 1971. This remains the political basis of the Independence Day of the Papuan people who are counter-political against Indonesia, recognising that it once was independent and will be.
The priorities of the political agenda who are carried out for the routinised activities of Papuans, who are politically opposed the Republic of Indonesia are:
As well as seeking for the recognition of the sovereign rights of the state from the de facto and de jure principles according to the "Declaration / Proclamation of Unilateral Independence, July 1, 1971".

The West Papuans are Melanesians composed of at least of 250 different tribes.
The remainder of the population is composed of different Indonesian groups that settled in West Papua in the past 50 years. The rate of population growth of the Indonesian groups is increasing rapidly.
At least 250 different tribes of West Papuans have each their own language and Melanesian culture. Christianity was introduced on 5 February 1855. Animism is still practiced today in rural areas. During the Netherlands colonial rule West Papua had one percent Muslim population. Due to immigration from Indonesia, Islam is gaining more and more prevalence.
West Papua is rich in natural resources: gold, silver, natural gas, copper, timber, etc. The Indonesian government is exploiting these resources, ever since it took over West Papua, while few of the profits are returned to West Papuans.
