JAKARTA — The Indonesian government and civil society have signed a joint statement, marking a shared commitment to fast-track agrarian reform in the country. The joint statement was signed by various ministries on Feb. 19 during the first day of the Asia Land Forum in Jakarta, the largest regional forum focused on land rights and and agrarian issues in Asia.

Another thing the government should do, she said, is create a roadmap with detailed plans and targets for agrarian reform.

“We must strike while the iron is hot and immediately follow up with concrete plans,” Dewi said.

I learned about it when I read The Jakarta Method, but yeah, that article seems to sum it up well. It was basically the dress rehearsal for Operation Condor - back the military as it purged the country of anyone sympathetic to the left to take over the government to stop democratic socialism.

Interesting this is happening in Indonesia at the same time as a new pink tide in Latin America. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. I hope democratic forces are ready to defend themselves.
