AUSTRALIA JAVA Foreword What is commonly referred to as the Indonesian coup is more properly called "The 30 September Movement," the name the conspirators themselves gave their movement. In this paper, the term "Indonesian coup" is used inter- changeably with "The 30 September Movement ," mainly for the sake of variety. It is technically correct to refer to the events in lndonesia as a "coup" in the literal sense of the word, meaning "a sudden, forceful stroke in politics." To the extent that the word has been accepted in common usage to mean "the sudden and forcible overthrow - of the government ," however, it may be misleading.

  • Covert Support of Violence Will Return to Haunt Us
    Covert support of violence will return to haunt us By Mark Curtis Region: Europe Global Research, October 06, 2005 Theme: Crimes against Humanity The Guardian 6 October 2005 Unless we hold our government to account for murderous foreign policy, the innocent will continue to pay the price As bloodshed mounts each day in Iraq, what prospect is there that British ministers will be held accountable for the illegal invasion and occupation that triggered this carnage? If past precedents are anything to go by, not much. But the likelihood is that, as in London earlier this summer, it will be we who pay the price for that failure to hold our leaders to account. This week is the 40th anniversary of one of the postwar world’s worst bloodbaths, which took place in Indonesia. Yet British ministers and officials in the then Labour government have never been held accountable for the covert role they played, along with the US, in supporting this slaughter – and the 30-year dictatorship of General Suharto it brought to power. The long-term blowback from that support was felt only last weekend in the bomb attacks on the Indonesian island of Bali, carried out by militant Islamist groups nurtured for years by Suharto and the Indonesian military. In early October 1965, a group of army officers in Indonesia led by Suharto took advantage of political instability to launch a terror campaign against the powerful Indonesian Communist party (PKI). Much of the killing was carried out by Islamist-led mobs promoted by the military to counter communist and democratic forces.

    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume 9, November, 1963 Indonesian, Malaysia, British, Indonesia, Malaysian, Page 19746 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. Indonesian Non-Recognition of Malaysia. - Anti-British Mob Violence in Jakarta. Burning and Sacking of British Embassy. - Seizure of British Property in Indonesia. - Indonesian-organized Guerrilla Attacks in Borneo. - Precautionary Malaysian Defence Measures. - Australian Pledge of Military Assistance to Malaysia against Aggression. With the formation on Sept. 16 of the Federation of Malaysia, the anti-British and anti-Malaysian agitation inIndonesia came violently to a head with the burning and sacking of the British Embassy in Jakarta by frenzied mobs, the wrecking and looting of the homes of British nationals, and the seizure of British business concerns. The violence of the Indonesian reaction was attributed by many commentators to the fact that the creation of theMalaysian Federation represented a major diplomatic reverse for Indonesia and for President Sukarno, who had publicly expressed Indonesia's determination to ―crush Malaysia‖. [see page 19717 second column] Despite the fact that U Thant had fully endorsed the U.N. Malaysia Mission's findings that the people of Sarawak and North Borneo supported Malaysia, [see pages 19718- 19] the Indonesian Foreign Minister announced onSept. 15 that Indonesia would not recognize the ―illegal‖ Malaysian Federation and that the IndonesianAmbassador had been recalled from Kuala Lumpur. Speaking after a Cabinet meeting presided over by PresidentSukarno and attended by Service chiefs, Dr. Subandrio said that Indonesia would raise objections at the United Nations to the report of the U.N.

  • The Killing Season a History of the Indonesian Massacres, 1965-66
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. caT h P er one Introduction I have never concealed from you my belief that a little shooting would be an essential preliminary to effective change in Indonesia; but it makes me sad to think that they have begun with the wrong people. — Sir anDreW gilchriST, BriTiSh aMBaSSaDor To inDoneSia, ocToBer 5, 1965 iTn a l T le over Six MonThS, from late 1965 to mid- 1966, an esti- mated half a million members of the Indonesian Communist Party (Partai Komunis Indonesia, or PKI) and its affiliated organizations were killed.1 Another million or so were detained without charge, some for more than thirty years, and many of them were subjected to torture and other inhu- mane treatment. Few, if any, of the victims were armed, and almost all those killed and detained belonged to what were at the time lawful politi- cal and social organizations. This was not a civil war. It was one of the largest and swiftest, yet least examined instances of mass killing and in- carceration in the twentieth century. The consequences of the violence were far-r eaching. In less than a year, the largest nongoverning Communist party in the world was crushed, and the country’s popular left- nationalist president, Sukarno, was swept aside. In their place, a virulently anticommunist army leadership seized power, signaling the start of more than three decades of military- backed authoritarian rule.

  • Sir Andrew Graham Gilchrist
    Sir Andrew Graham Gilchrist The Times, 11 March 1993 Sir Andrew Gilchrist, KCMG, a former ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, Indonesia and Iceland died on March 6 aged 82. He was born on April 19, 1910. Few diplomats fly into such turbulence as did Andrew Gilchrist. Fewer still seemed to relish the experience more than he did. The last decade of his colourful career was accompanied by the sound of breaking glass as angry mobs demonstrated against Britain. One embassy was fire-bombed, another burnt down - while in Iceland his official residence was stoned. But Gilchrist, a special agent in the war steadfastly refused to he a sitting duck. In Jakarta, he encouraged his assistant military attaché. Major Roderick "Red Rory" Walker, to defy an Indonesian crowd, 5,OOO-strong by marching through the embassy garden playing the bag-pipes. It failed to save the mission from attack. Protesting against the inclusion of North Borneo and Sarawak in the newly- declared Federation of Malaysia, a mob over-turned Gilchrist's car, ransacked his office, ripped up the Union Flag, scrawled anti-imperialist slogans on the alls and finally razed the building. "It's a pity the Indonesians don't play cricket." Gilchrist dryly observed. "They demonstrated their ability to handle stones with great credit," He had first captured the public imagination four years before when as envoy in Reykjavik during the first Cod War, he had been besieged with his family in their residence. As Icelanders set about smashing Gilchrist's windows, infuriated by the Royal Navy's protection for British trawlers fishing inside the new 12-mile limits, he resorted to Scotland's own strategic weapon.
