        Usually it's bought from the corrupted Indonesian polices and army officers, captured from the dead soldiers and deserters, or bought from abroad like PNG.

        By improving the living conditions and building infrastructure of course, compared to the rebellion in Aceh they're not that good.

          Frick sake. I presume hes ok. I wonder if the indonesians would allow someone else to come in and get him. Or with the right people and some deniability, if they would ever even know someone did.

          Wonder what they hoped to achieve taking a western man hostage. To escalate things and get other countries to poke their noses in? My experience with paupans is more "can I buy your sister" and smoking tobacco rolled up in newspaper but maybe one of these fullas has a plan.

            They're demanding Papuan independence
            Obviously one random bloke isn't going to achieve that
            So inevitably the Indonesians will make a counter offer, or the Papuans will suggest it as an alternative, of releasing some people from prison or paying a ransom and that is what they will accept

      Maxwell, forget his first name. Conflict was abuse of the local workers in a mine by the government. Executive Outcomes was hired to combat the insurgency.
      Maxwell kept his backround ambiguous, gave an interview said he was fighting against the government maltreatment of the locals.
      There was a thread, which I can't seem to find, on the whole conflict. It had a link to some of Maxwell' recent writing on the conflict. I think he might still be alive.

      Maybe he wandered over the border? Still native as frick. Does PNG support these guys at all? Maybe just went over on his own buzz even deserted the army and took the gun with him. But I'm sure theres more than a few minimis floating around that made their way out of army stores. It's a big ass jungle on the border that militias could wander though both ways even though the armies are out there, plus im sure weapons lost to corruption and to the occasional contact. I'd say if indo militias came the other way into png aussie and kiwi troops would end up there..

          Those road workers filmed them holding a Morning Star flag raising ceremony and singing independence songs.
          Both of which are illegal under Indonesian law.
          Ask yourself what sort of government bans a flag and songs?
          The Papuans were concerned the footage would be turned over to Indonesian authorities.
          Furthermore, the Indonesian military has a nasty habit of conducting operations out of uniform + a lot of those "pro-Jakarta nationalist militias" in East Timor were in fact soldiers and police out of uniform. The Papuans had reason to be concerned about just who those road builders might have really been. This is a very practical reason why you should not do these things because you risk putting your civilians under suspicion.
          And third, what are those roads in service of? Mining and clear cutting the forest, not to mention allowing the military greater access.
          I'm not trying to defend or mitigate this criminal act but it is needs to be considered in its proper context of an oppressive occupation that creates this situations.

      If as the other anon said they ambush the indonesian army I'd say they have a pretty good understanding of how to keep their weapons going as well as small unit tactics. Don't go thinking they are moronic just because they are a tribal place. In fact being tribal and hunting bush meat means they can go live in the jungle without support, or with support and intel from tribes they are friendly with, and probably as a movement aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They might come from a lot of different places and cultures but a lot can also speak pidgin english with each other and a few probably have military training.

        Bushmeat is a general term for various wild game including deer and pig, which they hunt in New guinea. Semi domesticating a wild root doesn't really change my point. These people are still notorious for murdering people for being witches, and to pretend that the majority of these tribal people's are university graduates with IPhones is silly. The vast majority are quite primitive, and I'm sure grenade launchers aren't something they studied in a classroom environment. You have done little to answer my initial questions.
