Pakaresius Amokoame
A name that appears in open letters and statements by the armed Kodap III Kali Kopi group as a battalion commander at the lower level of the structure, not as Kodap commander. The initial draft of this entry had both the name and the position wrong: the Kodap III Kali Kopi commander is another person, while he sits at battalion level.
Personal Dossier & Background
Date & Place of BirthNo public data on his date or place of birth, or his age.
Tribe & Regional OriginNo source states his ethnic group explicitly. The Amokoame clan is associated with the Amungme area, but the sources do not say so outright.
Base Headquarters & CampsThe initial draft cited “Kali Biru and Kali Kabur” as a base — WITHDRAWN for lack of any source. The documented operating area is the Mimika highland corridor (Tembagapura, Jila).
Estimated StrengthNo official figure. The initial draft's “about 40 people” had no basis — withdrawn.
Family Background / ParentsFather and mother: no public data.
Educational BackgroundNo public data on his education.
Position / RoleA battalion commander (described as “Commander of Battalion I”) in the Kodap III Kali Kopi structure. IMPORTANT: the names verified in public sources are Pakaresius Amokoame (open letter, 21 November 2025) and Paska Amoko (statement, 22 September 2026); they are probably the same person on the basis of matching position and area — an inference, not a statement by a source. The variant “Pagratius Amoko Amokwame” was not found in any source.
Latest Legal StatusAt large, with no report of arrest. Several names from the Tembagapura group were placed on the Mimika police wanted list (21 names, November 2017), but his presence on that list cannot be confirmed.
Verification noteDraft corrections: the post of “Kodap III Kali Kopi commander” is consistently attributed in public sources to another name (2020-2026), so this entry is set at battalion level. The claim of “succession after Hengky Uamang's death” is also wrong: the correct name is Hengky Wanmang, who died on 16 August 2020 and served as chief of staff — not commander. The names “Kerenius Alom” and “Jack Kemong as adviser” cannot be verified (Jack Kemong does appear on the 2017 wanted list, but the adviser role has no source). The verified Kodap III Kali Kopi leader is a candidate for a separate entry should the project owner wish to add top-leader profiles.
