Trump's Indonesian Allies in Bed With ISIS-Backed FPI Militia Seek to Oust Elected President Jokowi

Abstract

The following important essay, by the respected and reliable journalist Allan Nairn, reports what Indonesian generals and others have told him of an army-backed movement to overthrow Indonesia's civilian-led moderate constitutional government. Its thesis is alarming: that “Associates of Donald Trump in Indonesia have joined army officers and a vigilante street movement linked to ISIS in a campaign that ultimately aims to oust the country's president… Joko Widodo (known more commonly as Jokowi).”
