Indonesia has the right kind of assets in terms of population,
natural resources and strategic position to be a 21st century
superpower; but there are clouds on the horizon. For five decades
Jakarta has suppressed a Papuan independence movement, and in
recent months tensions have flared into violence. Stephen Sackur
interviews Benny Wenda, exiled leader of the West Papuan
Liberation Movement. Can he take on Jakarta and win?
