A SMALL PAPUAN GIRLS STANDS IN FRONT OF HER FATHER IN THE PAPUAN
VILLAGE OF ENGROS.
A small Papuan girl stands in front of her father in the Papuan village
of Engros, a poor community who live in homes built on stilts near the
provincial capital Jayapura August 28, 2003. One of Indonesia's richest
provinces in terms of natural wealth, Papua is one of its poorest in
incomes and development. Many Papuans say that Jakarta's siphoning off
of their natural wealth and decades of human rights abuses have fuelled
independence sentiments across this largely untamed province on the
western half of New Guinea island. REUTERS/Beawiharta
