Jayapura-The armed criminal group (KKB) is disrupting and threatening the security of the Intan Jaya region, Papua. The group carried out attacks during the 2024 regional election campaign.
According to several viral media, this cruel group is targeting attacks on regional head candidates who are campaigning. “Separatist groups often ask for security funds from political candidates competing in regional elections. If requests are not met, this group does not hesitate to carry out threats and acts of violence,”.
Until now, the KKB has continuously tried to create instability in Intan Jaya. In November 2024, they launched an act of terror which made people feel threatened when they gathered at the campaign location.
“The TNI-Polri has increased security in areas considered vulnerable. “It is hoped that tighter security in the city center and strategic locations will prevent further attacks from the separatist group.”
For this reason, local communities are reminded to be aware of themselves and remain alert. “The public must always pay attention to the situation around them and avoid crowding in vulnerable locations,”.
