West Papua’s Indigenous people have called for a boycott of KitKat, Smarties and Aero chocolate, Oreo biscuits and Ritz crackers, and the cosmetics brands Pantene and Herbal Essences, over alleged ecocide in their territory.

All are products that contain palm oil and are made, say the campaigners, by companies that source the ingredient directly from West Papua, which has been under Indonesian control since 1963 and where thousands of acres of rainforest are being cleared for agriculture.

More than 90 West Papuan tribes, political organisations and religious groups have endorsed the call for a boycott, which they say should continue until the people of West Papua are given the right to self-determination.

Raki Ap, a spokesperson for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, which is overseeing the call, said: “These products are linked to human rights violations, in the first place, because West Papuans are being forced, with violence, to get off the land where they’ve lived for thousands of years, which has now resulted in ecocide.

“This is a signal to the countries who are dealing with Indonesia, especially those in the Pacific region, to take notice of who they’re dealing with and how they are basically allowing Indonesia to continue the colonial project in West Papua, the human rights violations, and also ecocide.”

West Papuans say more than 500,000 of their people have been killed by the occupation in the past six decades, while millions of acres of their ancestral lands have been destroyed for corporate profit. Indonesia, already the world’s largest palm oil exporter, is now breaking ground in West Papua on the world’s biggest single palm oil plantation, as well as a sugar cane and biofuel plantation that will be the largest deforestation project ever launched.

“West Papuans’, especially the ULMWP, position is very clear: we are a modern-day colony,” said Ap, speaking from the Netherlands.

“Indonesia hijacked the right to self-determination in 1962 when the Netherlands and Indonesia signed an agreement without any consultation in West Papua … After that, in 1969, there was a so-called referendum, which wasn’t fair, which wasn’t under international law, one man, one vote: just 1,025 men were handpicked at gunpoint to vote for integration to Indonesia.

“So this is the foundation of the Indonesia’s colonial project. When we became part of Indonesia against our will, basically the genocide unfolded.”

Oh, the Tale of the Class Proctor: A Tragicomedy in Many Acts 🎭

Act I: In the Shadows

🌟 Cast: The Unsung Heroes - Our Class Proctors

🎭 Scene 1: The Classroom

Once upon a time in the hallowed halls of our university, there existed a group of extraordinary individuals known as "Class Proctors." These remarkable beings possessed superhuman abilities to endure endless complaints, navigate endless bureaucracy, and maintain their sanity in the face of the impossible.

Act II: The Silent Sacrifice

🌟 Cast: The Clueless Comedians - The Class Fellows

🎭 Scene 1: The Cafeteria

Enter the Class Fellows, oblivious to the fact that class proctors are like magical unicorns - always there when you need them. They mock, jest, and jest some more, completely unaware of the heroic acts happening behind the scenes to make their lives easier.

Act III: The Great Revelation

🌟 Cast: The Unexpected Hero - You

🎭 Scene 1: The "Aha!" Moment

But one day, a realization dawned on a lone student. The class proctors were not just mortals but extraordinary beings working tirelessly to make our academic lives smoother. In the shadows, they fought the battles of scheduling, bureaucracy, and logistics, all while we chuckled and cracked jokes.

Act IV: The Call to Action

🌟 Cast: The United Class

🎭 Scene 1: The Group Chat

A whisper, a nod, and a digital gathering. The class decided it was time to end the comedy show and recognize the unsung heroes who have our backs. A standing ovation was in order!

Act V: A Brighter Future

🌟 Cast: Harmony and Gratitude

🎭 Scene 1: The Classroom (Now With Less Trash Talk)

And so, dear class fellows, let us collectively acknowledge the heroes in our midst. Let's replace sarcasm with gratitude and trash talk with kindness. It's a win-win situation, after all. The class proctors will keep working their magic, and we'll enjoy smoother academic lives with a lot more laughter and a lot fewer punchlines at their expense.

In the grand play of life, sometimes humor masks the profound. But today, we shall break the fourth wall and let the class proctors take a bow because they truly are the unsung heroes we all need.
