Papua protests: Racist taunts open deep wounds

A catalogue of racist taunts aimed at a group of students have sparked violent protests in Indonesia's eastern region of Papua.

The area's largest protests in years saw numerous buildings torched - including a jail and a market - and resulted in the Indonesian government deploying thousands of additional security officers to an area which is already the country's most heavily militarised.

The internet has also been shut down to "restore security", according to the Indonesian government.

So, interestingly, can I say it, black looking natives. I didn't have any idea of how they were and some other pictures have shown the natives having straightish-type hair.
