From the killing of Mako Tabuni, the deputy chairman of the
National Committee for West Papua or KNPB, to the recent killing of
another KNPB figures, Paul Horis, it's been a bloody time.

On the Papuan side, five representatives have been appointed as negotiators with the Indonesian government, including Octo Mote.
