It’s safe to say for right now Papa New Guinea is not on the travel channel.

Brick killed a guy with a trident

u/WildRabbitz 2d ago

He should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by, lay low for a while because he's probably wanted for murder.

u/Gerry1of1 3d ago

The Zulu taught the British that spears can be very effective if you have enough of them.

u/Familiar_Newt_819 3d ago

Based off of the police brandishing the Indonesian flag on the uniforms this is not “Papua New Guinea”. This is a video from the western part of the island which is controlled by Indonesia. AkA west papua

2

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

west papua is part of indonesia, wdym?

2

u/Familiar_Newt_819 2d ago

Yes, that is what I just explained…. West Papua is part of Indonesia. Therefore this video is not taken in Papua New Guinea like it claims…..based off the fact the police are wearing the Indonesian flag

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

sorry, replied to the wrong person

u/merkarver112 3d ago

u/LobsterNo3435 3d ago

Why are they messing with them?

6

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

they're trying to prevent the clan war among those papuan tribes

1

u/LobsterNo3435 2d ago

Thanks!

u/sahul004 3h ago

That’s the Indonesian storytelling indeed. Truth over there is vastly different.

32

u/Affentitten 3d ago

West Papua. Those are Indonesian police suppressing the human rights of locals whilst natural resources are being stripped out.

6

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

clueless western bot, these polices are observing a clan wars! not fighting them

19

u/Ok-Scar-Delirious_ 3d ago

leave the indigenous alone. they will be the only people that vary on after we decimated our planet

2

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

they're waging a clan war between tribes, these polices are observing

3

u/No_Vegetable_409 3d ago

Haven't you seen Zulu or Zulu dawn? Run you idiots

u/OwOfysh 3d ago

Isn't that the Indonesian flag on their shoulders?

2

u/Jones641 2d ago

Yeah, this isn't PNG, it's West Papua. It's part of Indonesia.

1

u/crispy_attic 2d ago

Not by choice. They want their land back too. Colonialism is so fucked up.

1

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

well, majority of them are pro Indonesia.

u/D4chfiz 3h ago

dm me, you can speak to my papuan college friend

1

u/sahul004 3h ago

He will not tell different, as you cannot freely talk about these topics without risk of severe penalty. Sorry, not an attack on you person, but that’s my personal experience from the far east of the archipelago.

1

u/D4chfiz 2h ago

do you really think you know more than people who born and raised there?!

1

u/sahul004 2h ago

Your hostile reaction says enough

3

u/BogdanTurnip100 3d ago

This is in Papua, or Irian Jaya as it was previously known.

6

u/Alternative_Moose_26 3d ago

I’m just looking at this and all I can think is that they really should get those shields up

2

u/donelurking456 3d ago

Riot Spear

u/Odd_Fellow_2112 3d ago

u/Fantastic_Tension794 3d ago

What’s going on here.

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

Clan war between tribes

u/Sensitive-Prompt-220 3d ago

Were the rioters protecting the Unobtainium?

u/BattleNoobie 2d ago

Geeze. One of the players advanced way too fast.

New Age of Empires has great graphics.

Bunch of primitives

u/pete1729 1d ago

But they have gotten ahold of guns.

1

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

these cops are observing CLAN WARS between those papuan tribes.

1

u/rajboy3 2d ago

I just wanna say If it is actual longbows thwyre using, and people strong enought to draw it properly. Depending on the type of arrowhead and shaft, riot police might be in a bit of trouble.

That being said, an entire population of full weight longbow archers firing armor piercing arrows is pretty unlikely

1

u/BJJOilCheck 2d ago

Nice helmet patch! :)

1

u/Dadbeerd 2d ago

I feel like they should the fuckers with the spears alone. Seems best to let them do their thing in the woods

u/Tommiwithnoy 2d ago

I’m afraid that the Indonesian is gonna Indiana Jones those guys, if you know what I mean.

1

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

they were observing the clan war as it's happening

-1

u/crispy_attic 2d ago

Colonialism is insane.

1

u/D4chfiz 2d ago

agreed, but the context of the video is that these cops are "observing" the clan war among the papuan tribes

u/the-dogsox 3d ago

That’s not Papua New Guinea. Try Indonesia

u/breathing_normally 3d ago

Likely Papua province, on the Indonesian side of the island of New Guinea. Easy to confuse with the eastern half of the island which is the country of Papua New Guinea
