Is Indonesia just doing a land grab?

The Kitchen Table’s Shannon Gillies interviews Pacific Media Centre director David Robie on the history and present day happenings of the occupation of West Papua.

David provides both sides of the story as he details why Indonesia is in West Papua and just why the majority of the Asia Pacific region refuses to make any diplomatic moves on the issue.

The movement for West Papuan freedom is discussed as well as the transmigration of Indonesians into the West Papuan province.
