Today the 3rd Infantry Brigade from the USSP has entered the Indonesian province of Papua. The troops' entry into the Indonesian province followed the first use of our new A6 Intruders to bomb military bases insides the province, after the Indonesian government refused to sell it to the United States.
We intend to annex the province that way the whole island will be under one government.

South Pacific troops have captured the town of Jayapura.
South Pacific's President announced that invasion was to free West Papua of Indonesian tyranny.
The invasion force is coordinating with the Free Papua Movement, the liberation army of Western Papua New Guinea, which is funded by the South Pacific government. Western New Papua was illegally invaded and annexed by Indonesia in 1961. Named Irian Jaya, the province is Indonesia's largest but least populated. Because of the lack of inhabitants, South Pacific forces are not expecting any resistance.
Opposition to Indonesian rule has existed since 1963. The conflict currently involves 3 parties: pro-Indonesian, pro-Independence, and pro-South Pacific.
A election, rigged by Indonesia, in 1969 gave the appearance that the New Guineans wanted to be ruled by Indonesia, but as the UN has noted the election was faked.
There are vast cultural differences between the people of West Papua and the people of Indonesia. And this conflict has led to conflict due to the Indonesian government attempting to force Indonesian culture on the people of West Papua. West Papuans are currently being forced at gun point to give up their homes and properties to Indonesian immigrants. And there are reports that Indonesian military and police forces are engaged in genocide against West Papuans and it was the finding of a mass grave that prompted the South Pacific's invasion of the province.
The Indonesian government has issued orders for the military to shoot anti Indonesian protestors and has banned political dissent protests. In an effort to step up its oppression tactics, the Indonesian regime had recently divided West Papua into smaller provinces in an attempt at dividing the West Papua people.
The goal of the South Pacific is to give the people of West Papua a taste of the freedom they have been seeking since Indonesian oppression began.
The expulsion of the Indonesians will lead to the province being integrated into the United States whereby uniting the island.

More troops are being sent to West Papua. The Congress has not yet decided what to do with West Papua. The island cannot yet be annexed due to Indonesia has not yet surrendered its claim to the territory.
The South Pacific government encourages other nations to invest in West Papua to help build the territories economy and infrastructure. But foreign companies are weary due to the continuing war taking place around the disputed province.
