I saw this article a few mins ago on twitter so I went to Pacific.Scoop.co.nz and read it.

The purpose of the operation we don't really know.As for critics here is what some said and I quote..

"The offensive, dubbed a politically motivated stunt by dissident members of PNG security forces, descended on remote border camps and villages and made arrests of logging workers and Indonesian military personnel, though it is believed these initial arrestees were released to make way for Refugee arrests after protest from Indonesian diplomatic representatives in Vanimo"

"this stunt operation is deeply suspicious in its timing, with Indonesia currently engaged in a systematic sweep and terror campaign for nonviolent activists from Jayapura to the border. The questions PNG people need to have answered is, are these two offensives working in conjunction with one another, and what kind of Melanesians are we to do the Jakartas work?


And as fate would have it this is what the Government said befor Operation Sunset Merona began

'Sunset Merona..is..a law enforcement exercise to counter the illegal flow of goods across the border from Indonesian military'
