The uprising against the authoritarian over reach of the Indonesian government has been one in blossom over the past two years with large scale revolutionary action taking place across the nation's array of islands and wide range of cultures and communities. These actions have been organised by groups across the political spectrum with anarchists and adjecent individuals and collectives being a grass root element across the board. In Pejompongan, Jakarta, on 28 August during a labour demonstration, the police ran down and killed Affan Kurniawan, a hard working and well liked delivery driver. The footage is horrific, the action inexcusable. It was a murder in front of thousands. The country erupted in grief and anger leading to the ongoing state of play. Moments decribed by our local correspondant as "by far the most anarchistic national revolt for decades". Over the past few days, palaces have been ransacked, the halls of government put to the torch, police have used live ammunition and yet the people, young punks and mothers, tradies and shop keepers, they keep filling the streets and refusing to take it. At time of writing seven have died during this uprising: May their passing never be forgotten. Indonesia: Situation Update for September 1 The situation calmed down somewhat last night, but protests have resumed with renewed vigor: Clashes in Ternate, Senin, and Palopo - Tense situation in Bandung, Makassar, Siantar, etc. The government is considering the application of martial law. Clashes continue in Kaltim, Aceh, Sukabumi, Binjai, and Gorontalo. The level of repression is increasing with the deployment of police forces and the infiltration of plainclothes officers. Since August 25, at least six people have died and 3,000 people have been arrested. Clashes at Unisba University in Bandung yesterday evening, where police entered the campus. As Anarchists around the world, as we might delight in cathertic jouissance, inspiring moments, movements, and people, we must also keenly educate ourselves and those around us, speaking beyond and through the riot porn, to share the politics and struggle of our comrades in Indonesia and where possible contribute material and political solidarity, which will help see them through to victory and an end to the violent authoritarian brutality of the government they fight.

Green Energy’s Dirty Secret | International
Editor
Behind the glittering slogan of “green energy,” the reality on the ground tells a different story: deforestation, land grabbing from Indigenous communities, ecological destruction, increased carbon emissions, and a wave of criminalization against locals defending their land. Halmahera Island is a stark example. In this region, 1,465 land-based industrial permits have been issued—108 for metal-mineral […]
