JAKARTA — Hundreds of Indonesian students were set to protest on Wednesday (Feb 7) against outgoing President Joko Widodo's perceived interference in the Feb 14 election to replace the leader of the world's third-largest democracy, an organiser said.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced his Cabinet late Sunday, hours after he was inaugurated.
The words “emergency warning” galvanized protesters in Indonesia in August. It was a rallying cry to protect the world’s third-largest democracy, which broke free from dictatorship less than 30 years ago. Thousands of protesters took to the streets. Some stormed the gates of Parliament, tearing one down in fury.
At first glance, it looked like so many other photos posted on social media, the kind taken by excited travelers en route. The wing of a plane, juxtaposed against fluffy white clouds, with the sun streaming through. The caption read: “U.S.A. here we go.”
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Prabowo Subianto was inaugurated Sunday as the eighth president of the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, completing his journey from an ex-general accused of rights abuses during the dark days of Indonesia’s military dictatorship to the presidential palace.
This has been marked by attacks on – and direct interventions in – the anti-corruption commission and the Constitutional Court. Both were formerly key government watchdog institutions. It has also involved intimidating and weakening the civil society organisations that helped deliver democratisation to Indonesia after the fall of former dictator Suharto in 1998.
JAKARTA — Indonesia's anti-graft agency plans to ask the youngest son of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo to clarify his use of a private jet on a recent overseas trip as well as who paid for the travel, its deputy chief said on Wednesday (Aug 28).
JAKARTA — Golkar, Indonesia's second-largest political party, is expected to inaugurate a key ally of President Joko Widodo as its new chief on Wednesday (Aug 21), a move party members say could enable the outgoing president to retain influence after he steps down in October.
JAKARTA — Indonesia President Joko Widodo and his son, incoming vice president Gibran Rakabuming Raka, are no longer members of the country's largest party after they backed rival candidate and election winner Prabowo Subianto, a party official said on Tuesday (April 23).
