This city was once called Port Numbay, and now it's called Jayapura

One of the common sights of Jayapura is native Papuan women who sell vegetables

They are called mama-mama Papua

This footage was taken in 2007

There is no roof, mama-mama are bothered when the downpour occurs

On September 14, 2009

the mama-mama asked the Government of Papua Province

to provide a viable market in downtown Jayapura

It was all done to urge

the setting up of a market that Governor Barnabas Suebu promised

This is Robert Jitmau, he is a companion to the mama-mama Papua since 2004

The faces of the mama-mama show

the faces of injustice Papuans as a whole experienced to date

At the end of 2010, while the market was being built by the Government of Papua Province

Victory for the mama-mama in the market was brief, their earnings were slumped

If successful Yes 60, 70, Yes to 100 if the daily practice

If it's not sold, around 20 or 30

My name is Yuliana Pigai

Where we're selling here in Papua, the mama-mama market is not crowded

But over there in Mesran it's crowded. Is the Government in Papua only providing for those newcomers?

This is the market of Mesran, its location less than 1 km away from the market of the mama-mama Papua

This place is a city transport terminal so it filled the market activities

Its location is strategic, there are more buyers than at the market of the mama-mama

The meeting of the mama-mama and the Government on February 1, 2011

agreed that the market was in the Mesran terminal only sells manufactured goods

and doesn't sell farmed produce, when in fact farmed produce is also sold in this market

and the mama-mama are not able to compete

While the mama-mama are waiting for a permanent market, Jayapura Mall is under construction

Actions taken by the Government until today, are arguably still half-hearted

In a sense, he provided the model to build the market, but didn't follow-up

Before it's built, don't abandon the mama-mama, but reward them

A variety of local Government Act half-heartedly pushing mama-mama back protest

They called for closing the Mesran market

And order for the construction of a viable market for the mama-mama Papua in Jayapura to be immediately implemented

Mama-mama Papua didn't come here for nothing

We ask that you please pay attention to our HOUSE'S mama-mama Papua is here

Eight, urging the Government to no longer build the Mall and shops in the town of Jayapura
