What a story - over a hundred of her family members, including grandparents, aunts and uncles, and their children, were killed in the Rwandan genocide. Now a student at Swartmore College and a founder of the Genocide Intervention Fund (GIF), which has done incredible work and is now working with American Progress Action Fund on a campaign called Be A Witness and presently introducing President Clinton.

The US did this evil thing out of fear of Indonesia & Australia becoming communist States unless it sacrificed the Papuans. The US government was listening to EXPERTS at Bechtel Inc. and Freeport who forgot to tell the US that THEY WANTED to MINE West Papua's Gold & Copper.
In 1962 there were an estimated 15% more people in West Papua than the Eastern half now known as Papua New Guinea with a population of 5.7 million./
Of the missing 4 million West Papuans, even the most conservative organizations agree the Indonesian military has executed at least 100 thousand of them. HIV/AIDS is also used as another weapon, importing inflected prostitutes during the pass fifteen years West Papua now has the highest HIV/AIDS inflection & growth rates in both the Pacific and Indonesia.; yet neither the UN nor media are allowed access.
THIS is a GENOCIDE which American corporations created and are PROFITTING from; this is a genocide which George Bush did not want the US to mention. Guess which corporations were Mr Bush's largest sponsors. Information Kit Link
