Geography
It borders in the east with Papua New Guinea . Rivers: Digul , mountains: Mandala .
Population
Papua is rich in minerals. In connection with the development of these riches, in recent years many Indonesians from other provinces of the country have moved to the province. Very often, new settlers look down on the local culture and consider the Papuans uncivilized and backward.
Some Papuans are unhappy that their homeland is part of Indonesia. Poorly organized paramilitary groups of the Papuans are fighting for the independence of Papua from Indonesia [2] .
