I have been looking up ways to find the black people in West Papua, and I found a UK based group that helps campaign and demonstrate on their behalf.

I suggest anyone concerned gets involved with helping them



This is the british group

There's also an Irish one

Yeah, and I see that the British group is supported by Zephaniah, one of favourite people and George Monbiot, the envioronmentalist and Noam Chomsky, the great intellectual.

It's good to see that some people are actually trying to make a difference. If I had known about the march I would have definetely gone

It's interesting that when a thread about this issue was initially posted on BN Village, some posters questioned whether these people were Blacks. Good to see that some of us are concerned about people in need. Period.
