What percentage of West Papuans would you say want independence from Indonesia? Is there a strong negative sentiment towards Austronesians migrating from the other islands (esp. Java)?

Many West Papuans do and yes there is negative sentiment to transmigrants in both Maluku and West Papua.Look up West Papuan land displacement and same in Maluku,or the Ambon civil riots in 1999.All of these incidents are connected,and because Indonesia refuses to let Moluccans and West Papuans have any sovereignity or even seperate Melanesian or native identity.

There are displace Moluccans and West Papuans,just like East Timor.The thing is many Moluccans are on their way to being Indoized,and now West Papua is going that route too.I even saw on Quora what must have been a troll question,asking if Papua New Guinea should also "join" *ahem* Indonesia.
