I would not be surprised to see people take to the streets by next weekend. That is how bad it is getting.
Expect very soon the United States and all Christian based organizations ordered out of Indonesia and a Muslim based organization led by countries such as Malaysia assembled to administer aid.
Expect within the very near future all charges to dropped against Abu Bakar Ba'asyir and he is released from detention.
You are likely right.
If so, I expect within months MORE DEVASTATING NATURAL DISASTERS to hit this idiots nest of a country.
Good insight.
The $$$ millions in aid sloshing around, combined with the Islamist fundies makes for a volatile mix that is making them all crazy. Add the UN's newfound "oversight" role and you have lit the match.
The Islamists want Muslim control of Achea; the Jakartan bureaucrats (and military) are salivating over the money; the Acheans themselves just want to get on their feet.
Last in the equation are the US and the aid agencies, who are seen merely as roving ATM machines (but with all the frustrating audit trails and monetary controls that follow).
But with the UN assuming its "leadership" role, Jakarta sees a group of folks who might be willing to play ball. US out. Christian aid out. Anyone who won't satisfy Jakarta and the Islamists, out.
