Action against provocateurs

Action against provocateurs

From DR

The recent escalation in intensity and frequency of social unrest in Maluku, West Kalimantan and some other places across the country may be the result of the government's lack of firmness and consistency in discovering and taking action against provocateurs.

The government always blames provocateurs for the outbreaks of a riot in Tasikmalaya, the "Ninja"-like killing spree in Banjuwangi, a riot in Ketapang (Jakarta) and a massacre in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, but it has never identified who the provocateurs are.

As a result, a situation fraught with uncertainties has given birth to mental vulnerability and apprehension on the part of the community, a condition easily triggering the manifestation of destructive emotions. One of the solutions to this problem may be that the leadership of the Armed Forces should take wise measures in accordance with prevailing procedures irrespective of ethnic origin or religious background.
