Yingçhoi migrant settlement Nabire Jaya was, yesterday evening, attacked by several dozen Irian tribesmen, resulting in the deaths of six civilians; eleven buildings experienced significant damage in the associated blaze. Local militia managed to kill eight attackers, found to have been armed with traditional bows and improvised firearms. At least one tribesman remains in civilian custody. Provincial Governor Sofyan Daud, at a press conference earlier today, confirmed the conveyance of an undisclosed number of Kopassus soldiers to the region, vowing to "exterminate the Stone-Age retrogrades." In terminating a four-week lull, this incident has, throughout West Papua, sowed tense anticipation of further violence.

We will send help, but only if you join The Northern Sushi Commonwealth Union Society. We will offer military protection and advice, but you will be required to trade some goods with our nation, and citizens must add on a small .25% sales tax to all items under $75. The nation must tell the NSDIA of all binding decisions prior to making them and all non-binding decisions after. The nation would have to recognize itself as a Protectorate of Northern Sushi also. We promise freedom of religion as a part of this, and an unrevokable right to an embassy in Northern Sushi.

We understand. You have as long as you need to think about, also you are free to ask any questions to help with your understanding of the program.

The video opens with a single settler, a broad, gangrenous grin breaking the worn leather of his face. An outstretched hand props up an elegant black palm bow, its upper limb crooked some inches above his head. In the other, a long clutch of arrows, barbed palmwood heads fixed in reed shafts.

The cameraman turns to face a lank Melanesian, wrists cuffed behind his back. Along his flank, blood crusts a haphazardly bound strip of gauze. Bruises splay heavily across his face. But for the right eye, swollen shut, his gaze is level and unbroken. The air hollows behind a distant trill of birdsong.

All at once, another figure comes into view, flicking the hull of a chicory cigarillo to the earth. The cut of the features angled to the lens as he strides before the captive intimates Arab extraction.

In Mandarin, he asks, "What is your name?"

The captive replies in parched highland Pidgin, indistinctly.

The interrogator motions to someone out of sight, and receives a plastic cup. Its contents he splashes in the captive’s face.

Again: "Who are you?"

The captive blinks, dislodging a moist cascade of beadlets. "Organisesi Papua Merdeka."

"Where are you based?"

"Everywhere you walk."

"Who are your supporters?"

"All the people."

A pause. "Was the OPM involved in the attack near Modowi?"

"Yes. Fine victory."

"Enough."

With this, the interrogator hefts a forearm-length blade from the teak sheath at his waist and in a single fluid stroke beheads the indigen. A dark rosette blossoms on the earth below.

The clip flickers to an end.
