Voice of West Papua Joe Wally, Erwin Bleskadit, Debra Wally, Sixta Kareni, Terra and Ronny Kareni Voice of West Papua has been on the air for 11 years and is presented by West Papuan activists and community members who voice the aspirations of West Papua's struggle, share songs, interviews, music, and stories. Since the annexation of West Papua by Indonesia on 1 May 1963, more than half a million West Papuans have died and countless have gone missing as a result of a brutal military occupation.

Through our stories, interviews, music, and art, we hope to raise awareness about the plight of West Papua. Papua Merdeka!
