The Indonesian Police are formulating a new pattern of security operations codenamed Nemangkawi 2022, in cooperation with the National Defense Forces (TNI), to create public security and order in Papua Province.

The new pattern of operation, Nemangkawi 2022, will be implemented after analysis and evaluation of the ongoing security operation is conducted in December 2021, chief of the public information bureau of the public relations division of the National Police, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, informed on Thursday.

“We will look at it later on. As a matter of fact, the analysis and evaluation have not been conducted. The (current) operation remains (as it is),” he said.

The security operation Nemangkawi has been arranged in such a way that it will be evaluated once every six months in June and December, he added.

Nemangkawi 2021 will end in December this year, he noted. One week before the operation ends, it will be analyzed and evaluated, Hartono said.

“The operation Nemangkawi 2021 will end in December. But the National Police Headquarters and the Papua provincial police will analyze and evaluate it in late December. Based on the results of analysis and evaluation, there will be a conclusion and recommendation,” he added.

The recommendation will serve as input for the National Police and Indonesian Military leaderships for deciding how operation Nemangkawi 2022 will be implemented, he said.

During a fit and proper test at the parliament building recently, TNI chief candidate General Andika Perkasa proposed approaches based on military diplomacy and humanity to settle the Papua issue.

Hartono said he supported the idea and believed it can be realized.

However, the implementation of operation Nemangkawi 2022 will be discussed after the analysis and evaluation have been completed, he added.
