 East Timor - The Domino Effect
Indonesian officials are relying on just that sort of argument to dismiss the Free Aceh movement's demands that their province be allowed to hold a referendum on independence just like East Timor.
With 11,000 soldiers already in the province, Indonesian armed forces chief General Wiranto is threatening to declare a state of emergency in Aceh, accompanied by an expanded military campaign against the rebels.
With its strongest leader fallen, the provinces in rebellion, the economy in shambles, the military and civic administration feuding, and the presidency still up for grabs, Indonesia appears to be in a desperate struggle to regain solid footing.

The June 1999 elections brought significant changes to the Indonesian political landscape, including the waning of one-party domination, the rise of new sustainable political parties, the emergence of new leadership, and more pressures for change in the system of government.
Three FGD's were conducted in each province, with at least one arranged to represent the/a dominant demographic group in the province, a group which is considered to have broad political influence on the people of that area.
While in provinces where these two particular parties are weak, such as West Sumatra and South Sulawesi, people tend to be more critical of the Abdurrahman Wahid government.

 Indonesian tests positive for bird flu - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Asia - News
Since 2003, the highly lethal disease has struck chickens, quail, and other birds in 18 Indonesian provinces on seven islands, prompting the government to order a massive campaign to vaccinate poultry against the virus.
But Indonesian specialists have sought to ease public anxiety about the outbreak over the past year, saying the local virus is slightly different than the strain elsewhere in Asia and demonstrated no capability to infect people.
That finding meant the worker was no longer carrying the virus but it was impossible to determine how long ago he had caught it, according to Hariadi Wibisono, a director of disease eradication at the health ministry.

 West Papua - Contrasts
The province has the poorest health standards of all twenty seven Indonesian provinces, including the highest infant mortality and maternal mortality rates.
However, the long term policy of the Indonesian government is the universal use of Bahasa Indonesia, the national language of Indonesia.
Throughout the period of Indonesian government rule, President Soeharto and his associates have exploited the resources of West Papua in the worst tradition of military-based, authoritarian governments, and have sought to keep the issue hidden from the outside world.

 Regional Grievances and the Indonesian Elections (Testimony before the House International Relations Committee, May ...
Three provinces -- Aceh, Irian Jaya, and Maluku (the Moluccas) -- were seeing major problems with voter registration as of early May, and in East Timor, moves toward a referendum on independence scheduled for August were rendering the June 7 vote irrelevant.
East Timor was never part of the Indonesian nationalist struggle, and its departure from the Indonesian republic, to which it was illegally annexed in 1976, will not put the unity of the Indonesian republic in jeopardy.
Another lever would be for the U.S. to tell General Wiranto and the Indonesian army that it is dropping its support for the resumption of International Military and Education Training (IMET) until disarmament of the militias is underway.

 Inside Indonesia 61 - Aceh's failed election   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Indonesian military, determined to ensure that the elections were carried out, moved through the villages in tanks and trucks.
The military's task was not easy, as proportionally less voters had registered to vote in Aceh than in any of Indonesia's 27 provinces, apparently due to a combination of fear, intimidation and fraud during the registration process, cynicism about the value of participating, and outright boycott of the process.
All of this led Defence Minister Wiranto to 'unconditionally withdraw' the decade-long military operation (DOM) in the province on 7 August 1998, and to apologise for the DOM policy and military brutality.

The Indonesian militants—Dulmatin, who goes by one name, and Umar Patek—have trained recruits and plotted attacks from their southern Philippine base, but their efforts have been hampered by several arrests and army offensives, according to a report on the interrogation of Abdullah Sunata, an alleged rebel leader captured in Indonesia in June.
Patek sought Sunata’s help in sending Indonesian recruits for training and membership in their group in Mindanao, preferring Indonesians who fought in deadly clashes between Muslims and Christians between 1999 and 2001 in the eastern Indonesian provinces of Maluku and central Sulawesi, the report said.
Sunata sent 13 Indonesian recruits in five batches for training and membership in the group in Mindanao in 2003 and 2005, the report said.
