this (being the #SEAblings situation) might unironically be being used by indonesia to exploit their papau colonies further as the timing coincided with indonesia preventing court funding independence talks

https://en.mkri.id/news/details/2026-02-10/Hearing_on_Supreme_Court_and_Constitutional_Court_Budget_Independence_Postponed

"Right now, Law No. 17 of 2003 gives the Executive Branch (Ministry of Finance) the power to approve or cut the budgets of the Judicial Branch. Critics and judges argue that if the government controls the court's "wallet," the court isn't truly independent. If the judges make a ruling the President doesn't like, the government could theoretically "choke" their budget."

as well as a focus on korean companies (as part of #boycotthanabank) deforesting in papua despite there being a bigger presence of direct indonesian exploitation by haji isam's conglomerate

"Co-ordinating the [papau] project is the palm oil magnate Andi Syamsuddin Arsyad, also known as Haji Isam (or the ‘new poster boy of Indonesia’s oligarchy’). Isam owns the Jhonlin Group, which has bought two thousand excavators from a Chinese company to begin the deforestation. His cousin, Amran Sulaiman, is the agriculture minister. [...]there have been mass protests throughout West Papua, while a coalition of NGOs and Indigenous groups has drawn the UN’s attention to the project. A UN fact-finding mission has long been a demand of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP)"

but at this point im just lining up coincidences, i dont know much more
