I had a quick look online and only found Wikipedia saying that the OPM are papuan Nationalists, which doesn’t really mean much

1. Does the OPM follow any particular political ideas beyond anti-colonialism and the above?

2. I read that at least some parts of the movement used to promote a return to precolonial society, is that still the case?

3. Has the OPM taken inspiration from anti-imperial or socialist-revolutionary movement’s abroad?

4. What kind of National organisation (government or otherwise) does the OPM hope to achieve after independence?

5. What are the best ways for someone from a “devolved” country to assist the movement, financially or otherwise?

I understand that there may not be definitive answers, or that different parts of the movement might have contradictory answers to some questions, I’m just interested in learning what the political atmosphere is like in the movement :)

(Numbers added to make responses easier)

Myself and my team just finished a 45-minute deep-dive show into the current struggle for freedom in West Papua, with three big experts.

Raki Ap (UN Envoy to West Papua)Janet Steele (George Washington University)Jason Macleod (Free West Papua)

We go over how the war started, where its heading and what is at stake for both sides. Its designed to be a crash course on everything you need to know to try and understand the war in its current state.

The show is really starting to pick up and this sub was a huge help in gathering guests and info so I thought I would share it here to say thanks.

Would love your input and feedback as well.
