Military commender tells his men to 'Anticipate Separatists'

With the regional assembly (DPRP) now preparing to issue a regulation about
cultural symbols, such as the Morning Star, the song Hai Tanahku Papua some
time this month, the Commander of Korem 172/PWY, Colonel Burhaniddin
Siagian, said that the DPRP and the MRP should 'act wisely' bearing in mind

not regional cultural symbols but symbols of separatism. A wrong decision
would not be good for the unity of the Republic of Indonesia.

Tribal Society + Democracy = ?

How (if at all) will tribal cultures and societies come to incorporate democratic ideals? The self-immolation of a man in Tunisia has literally sent dominoes falling across the Arab world. People are getting a taste of individual liberty and freedom that has long been denied. Obviously, the road forward will not be smooth. From where I sit in the west, there appears to be an inherent conflict between tribal society/culture and elements of democracy like majority rule and protection of minority rights. Is this conflict actually different from (less than?) what I may be seeing through my western eyes? Are there historical examples we can examine for how tribal societies morphed into more democratic ones? While no one can predict the future, what might historians say - fifty years from now - about how this drive for liberty and freedom played out? *** All European societies have tribal origins, if you go back far enough in the historical record.

Tribal democracy works as chaos reigns

By Ahmed Rashid in Kabul 12:00AM BST 13 Jun 2002 In a heady day of noise, confusion, shouting, interminable delays and poetic speeches calling for unity and peace, Afghans yesterday enjoyed their first experience of real democracy after 23 years of war. About 1,500 delegates revelled in a sometimes chaotic debate inside and outside the tent where the loya jirga , or tribal council, began to decide the future of their nation . In their speeches men and women abused almost every warlord and politician in the country, often by name, for devastating Afghanistan. The warlords and ministers sitting in the front rows heard them in stony silence. Others claimed that the Americans and other foreigners were interfering in Afghan democracy by forcing the former king, Zahir Shah, to turn down a formal post in the new administration . "We don't want the loya jirga to be a rubber stamp," said Mohammed Daud, a Pathan delegate from Kabul. ...
