One part of the development of Indonesia that is conveniently left out of the article, is the annexation of West Papua. An area rich of gold mines.
Unfortunately for the indigenous population, things didn't end with the annexation. An estimated 500,000 West Papuans have been killed in the bloody conflict that has continued until now.
It's a conflict that rarely makes it into the news, a common thing when the victims are poor and lots of money is at stake.
