West Papua freedom dancers at the Cowley Road Carnival.
At first I thought, those are some funny-dressed Cubans! But they are from West Papua, the part of the island of Papua that isn’t New Guinea and is still controlled by Indonesia. Their plight smacks of East Timor, which took 2 decades of fighting and campaigning trying to highlight the human rights violations perpetrated by Indonesia, to wrench itself free and then was forgotten seemingly by most of the world as no longer a pressing concern. Indonesia are of course useful Muslims for the West so that rather explains that. I suspect West Papua has a battle on its hands. Good luck to them.
