Indonesians, unite!

Indonesians, unite!

From Suara Karya

The situation in our country is cause for great concern. The country is on the brink of collapse as it is mired in poverty, unemployment and massive debts.

Worse still, Indonesians are involved in meaningless debates as each group tries to reach their own goals. Conflicts in Aceh, Ambon, Papua are some examples. Even East Timor, formerly one of Indonesia's provinces, is now an independent state.

Unless we collectively realize that it is necessary to unite once again, the country is sure to disintegrate.

Therefore, we, the Movement of Indonesian Sons and Daughters (GPPI), an association bringing together youngsters from different regions across the country, warmly welcome the establishment of the Forum for Indonesians by Suryo Susilo, which is aimed at settling past conflicts whose ramifications are still being felt today.

It is our hope that this forum can be promoted in the regions so that everyone across the country can again be imbued with the spirit of national unity.
