Unitary state must be defended<\/p>\n
The latest developments in Indonesia have aroused considerable
\nconcern, with the nation facing various issues, notably political
\nand economic stability. The oft-criticized negotiations with the
\nFree Aceh Movement (GAM) were followed by the rupiah's
\ndepreciation and even a Cabinet reshuffle rumor.<\/p>\n
The government, now still in its early years, should be
\nresponsive to the different national problems, while observers
\nshould be wise in expressing their views, so they become
\nconstructive suggestions instead of antagonism.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, all citizens should be aware of
\ninternational interests and conspiracies amid recent changes.
\nWhen Indonesia was negotiating with GAM, we were surprised by an
\nAmerican statement favoring Papua's freedom from the unitary
\nstate, though the government is yet to pay more attention to this
\nregion.<\/p>\n
It was obviously a small part of the disguised agenda of
\nseveral "international mafia" groups, which are always desirous
\nof controlling wealth in Indonesia's resource-rich islands at low
\ncosts, naturally by first turning them into independent states.<\/p>\n
It is the duty of the whole nation to be critical of
\ninternational interests that attempt to undermine the unitary
\nstate of Indonesia (NKRI). Therefore, support should be given to
\nthe Indonesian Military, which is expected to show its devotion
\nto the state by defending NKRI.<\/p>\n
