Ben Nduga

Ben Nduga is a figure associated with the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB), an organization seeking independence for West Papua from Indonesia. Reports generally identify him as a commander or leader within the TPNPB, specifically operating in the Nduga regency. He has been linked to various attacks and armed conflicts in the region, particularly those targeting Indonesian security forces and civilians.

Details regarding Ben Nduga's background, specific role within the TPNPB, and the extent of his influence are often conflicting and difficult to verify due to the remoteness of the region and the ongoing conflict. Information is often disseminated through news reports, human rights organizations, and government sources, each with their own perspectives.

His activities are frequently reported in the context of ongoing tensions and human rights concerns in West Papua. Allegations of human rights abuses by both the TPNPB and Indonesian security forces are prevalent, and Ben Nduga's actions are often cited as part of this larger narrative. He remains a controversial figure.
