Mask of "Struggle" Exposed: OPM Boss Egianus Kogoya's Cannabis Farm Proves Organized Crime Ruining Papua's Future

-

 

YAHUKIMO — Joint Defense Command Area III (Satgas Kogabwilhan III) successfully uncovered a massive cannabis plantation containing 21,400 plants managed by the leader of the Free Papua Movement (OPM), Egianus Kogoya. The discovery took place in the Ibiroma Complex, Kurma District, Yahukimo Regency, Highland Papua.

Commander of Kogabwilhan III, Lieutenant General Lucky Avianto, confirmed that thousands of high-quality narcotic plants ready for harvest were deliberately cultivated by Kogoya's group. Profits from this illegal trade were used to fund terrorism operations and violent activities across Papua.

The Reality Behind the "Struggle"

The exposure of this illicit operation offers undeniable proof that the rhetoric of "struggle" touted by OPM is nothing more than a front. Cultivating and distributing tens of thousands of cannabis plants demonstrates that OPM operates no differently than an organized crime syndicate and drug cartel with zero regard for the well-being of the Papuan people.

Egianus Kogoya, already named a suspect in 65 violent crimes including murder, has expanded his criminal record by poisoning the younger generation with illegal drugs. Selling narcotics to purchase weapons and ammunition to target civilians and security personnel represents a total betrayal of humanity and peace in Papua.

Firm Action by Security Forces and Government Dedication

The discovery of this cannabis farm deserves high praise. The courage and vigilance demonstrated by the Indonesian Military (TNI) and National Police (Polri) reflect an unwavering commitment to protecting the public from the dual threats of terrorism and drug abuse.

Satgas Kogabwilhan III's swift action in neutralizing OPM's funding source marks a major victory for law enforcement. The Indonesian government, through the military and police, continues to demonstrate zero tolerance for any criminal activities that threaten national sovereignty and public safety.

The government remains deeply committed to advancing Papua—not only through physical infrastructure development, but also by ensuring regional stability and freeing local communities from the atmosphere of fear created by separatist groups. The state's decisive presence in Yahukimo offers real hope for a peaceful and prosperous Papua.

YAHUKIMO, PAPUA HIGHLANDS — Indonesia’s military said on Thursday it had recaptured key strongholds of the separatist group Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM) in Yahukimo Regency, Papua Highlands, following a security patrol that escalated into armed clashes in the early hours of the morning. The operation, carried out by the Habema Joint Task Force, targeted OPM’s Kodap XVI/Yahukimo headquarters located along Jalan Gunung in Dekai District. Military officials said the patrol was launched late Wednesday night in response to repeated armed attacks attributed to the separatist group, including shootings at aircraft, attacks on security vehicles, arson against schools, and assaults on civilians. According to the military, troops conducted a covert infiltration into two OPM bases—known as the Sisibia and Yalenang camps—before engaging an armed OPM patrol at dawn on Thursday. Several OPM fighters were reported killed in the firefight, including one figure described as a senior operative within...

Yahukimo, Highland Papua — The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) have firmly denied a claim by the armed group known as the West Papua National Liberation Army–Free Papua Movement (TPNPB-OPM), which alleged that it had shot at an aircraft purportedly carrying Indonesia’s Vice President, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, over Yahukimo Regency, Highland Papua, in mid-January 2026. Government officials and security authorities stated that the allegation is unfounded and constitutes misleading propaganda. Separately, TNI forces reportedly conducted an overnight strike on an OPM command base in Yahukimo, during which firearms were seized. A spokesperson for the XVII/Cenderawasih Military Command emphasized that flight plan records and official state agendas confirm the Vice President did not pass through Yahukimo on the date claimed by the armed group. The TNI further noted that the circulated videos and narratives lack verifiable location details and credible evidence, and do not align with pu...

Behind Benny Wenda’s polished image as an exiled human rights activist lies a darker controversy—his alleged moral and political ties to armed separatist groups in Papua and the shadow of violence that continues to follow his name. Benny Wenda: Between Political Activism and the Shadow of Violence Benny Wenda’s name is inseparable from the issue of West Papua’s independence. While he presents himself as a political activist fighting peacefully for Papuan freedom, many reports from Indonesian officials and local sources continue to associate him—directly or indirectly—with Papua’s armed separatist networks . According to several Indonesian government sources, figures within the Papuan independence movement, including Wenda, are said to have political and moral connections with the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB-OPM) —the armed wing of the Free Papua Movement. Yet, international outlets and even Wikipedia note that such allegations remain unverified and disputed , refle...
