Book extract: Sarongge

Bericht door webmaster »

Written by TOSCA SANTOSO

Translated by Tessa Piper

Karen researched the many investors who were competing for land in Papua. Mostly agribusiness and mining. Two types of enterprise that generally conflicted with the Rainbow Warriors’ mission. Karen knew the businesses’ thugs and spies already had their black tentacles in Papua. She felt the Rainbow Warriors were in a race and their opponent was driving a much faster car.

From her reading, she saw that, for investors, Papua is a land of new prospects. The jungles of Java were destroyed during the Dutch colonial era, and in Soekarno’s time. And the forests of Sumatera and Kalimantan fell to the greed of the Soeharto period. Only Papua remained. “It’s time to go east,” said a conglomerate’s spokesperson to a business magazine.
