Australia’s clandestine extraction of five former drug smugglers from Indonesia looked like a victory. So what’s with all the secrecy?
The sensitivities were so great that the families of the five men were told they could not be in Darwin to greet them when they landed.
I will never forget the cold-blooded execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran,young Australians sacrificed on the altar of Indonesian domestic politics in 2015 by then-Indonesian president Joko Widodo.
Prabowo Subianto hadn’t even lived a day of his presidential honeymoon period when China started harassing a state-owned ship. What’s it all about?
Prabowo Subianto’s inauguration as Indonesian president on Sunday caps a remarkable political comeback from years on Western blacklists.
Joko Widodo is handing over the world’s third-largest democracy to his chosen successor on Sunday.
The ruling has sparked street protests from backers of the failed presidential candidates,who had both claimed fraud.
The runner-up duo has now lodged legal action alleging Joko Widodo’s son was ineligible to run despite a court’s green light.
Long the loser,former military hardman Prabowo Subianto is expected to become Indonesia’s next president. This is how he did it.
If confirmed in the official tally next month,the 72-year-old would fulfil a decades-long dream of high office. Victory would also install the 36-year-old son of popular incumbent Joko Widodo as the nation’s vice president.
