United West Papua movement 'significant', says Wenda
Radio New Zealand International - December 9, 2014
The group is made up of the KNPB, the West Papua National Coalition for Liberation and the Federal Republic of West Papua and is intended to create a unified voice for West Papua on political fronts.
It was set up in Vanuatu, which backs the West Papuans' self-determination drive.
Mr Wenda says the group is working on re-applying for membership of the Melanesian Spearhead Group, which was knocked back earlier this year because its bid was deemed not representative.
Mr Wenda says now a unified bid has been created, he is confident West Papua will be admitted to the MSG. "Through this unification we are the ultimate because we are Melanesian, geographically and racially – we are Melanesia. So that's why I'm really confident that we will be a full member next year."
