Sir, we hereby call for government’s, urgent and immediate, action to arm Sengwer indigenous peoples living along Cherangany hills with atleast 300 guns (100 guns each in West Pokot, Marakwet and Trans Nzoia) to enable the community fight against the increasing cattle rustling that has hit Talau (West Pokot), Kapolet (Trans Nzoia) and Rogorr (Marakwet). The community is getting concerned since there’s very little action taken by the government even after being provided with reliable intelligence reports.

We are writing to urge you to appoint a United Nations Special Representative to Indonesia to monitor and report on the situations in West Papua. This Special Representative could also make recommendations regarding steps the UN Security Council and General Assembly might undertake to end the troubling and deadly conflicts that continue to engulf this region. The peoples in West Papua have the human right for their self determination – Please call for a new referendum!
