We all know that Papua problem getting worst day by day, in this situation we all see that foreign national is behind this papua freedom movement. www.theaustralia.com, said that "Freedom Flotilla claims success after secret meeting with West Papua separatist leaders, While public attention was focused on the continuing journey of the flotilla's remaining yacht the Pog towards Indonesian territorial waters, a "clandestine" group of flotilla members travelled by air, land and sea to the remote meeting place in far western Papua New Guinea.

Flotilla co-founders Aboriginal elder Kevin Buzzacott and Melbourne-based exiled independence leader Jacob Rumbiak handed over the "ceremonial waters" they had brought from the mound springs of Lake Eyre at the start of the group's journey of nearly two months.

They also handed over ashes gathered from Aboriginal tent embassies from around Australia.

The West Papuan leaders, including two senior "ministers" of the self-declared transitional government of the Federal Republic of West Papua, Frans Kapisa and Elieser Awom, are believed to have travelled illegally into PNG for the meeting.

A video of the meeting, held across two small outboard motorboats not far off the coast, shows Mr Rumbiak translating comments of the ministers thanking the flotilla members for their efforts in support of the West Papuan people.

"People of West Papua very proud and very thank(ful); by your support you stand for help(ing) people of West Papua," Mr Rumbiak is seen translating.

Upon his return from the meeting Mr Buzzacott said the flotilla members, acting to support the West Papuan independence movement, had "made that dream (of the flotilla venture) that we've been building with Jacob Rumbiak since 2000 happen".

Mr Rumbiak said the the "spirit of the movement" was still alive.

"Our people face many challenges for their freedom but they still show us today the determination and imagination to continue the struggle."

The Freedom Flotilla was initially made up of three boats with about 20 Australians and West Papuans aboard, and set sail from Cairns last month bound for Papua.

But due to mechanical problems just six activists aboard one boat, the Pog, are sailing the final leg of the journey.
