The International Criminal Court and the Indictment of President Omar Al-Bashir Implications for Sudan and Africa

Chapter I Introduction
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The departure of Indonesian migrant labor abroad has occurred since decades ago. Indonesian migrant labors, who particularly work as domestic worker, bear the title as foreign exchange heroes due to vast contribution toward state’s annual remittance. Bank Indonesia recorded the remittances from abroad amounted up to 6.73 billion US dollar or equal to Rp 61 trillion1 in 2010. Annual report of National Agency for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Workers (BNP2TKI) outlines that Saudi Arabia has been the major destination for Indonesian labors2.

Monthly Update July 2017 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Monthly Update July 2017 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This Monthly Update covers the first of the annual conference reports from meetings across our Methodist connection. If you want more complete information on your particular annual conference, please call, write, or e-mail us and we will be glad to send it to you. We are also including some issues of interest in our country during these turbulent times. Of especial interest are what we believe are attempts to undermine our country and our orthodox Wesleyan Christian faith. Here are just a few: 1. Over the matter of protecting our borders/unlimited immigration; the Old Testament in the Bible is replete about the need for Israel to protect its borders against its enemies. Some leaders in the United Methodist Church have filed “charges” against Attorney General Jeff Sessions for enforcing the law against illegal aliens. This is extreme with all the un-Christian actions our leadership has tolerated. 2. In reference to gun control and enacting stricter regulations, some of our church leaders are becoming active in pushing this issue. The reality is that mass shooters like “gun free zones” because they know that they will not meet armed resistance until the police arrive – and that would be too late for some people who have been killed. We need to remember, especially as we celebrate the 4th of July, that it was the attempt at “gun control” that started our fight for independence with the British on their way to seize the peoples’ weapons when they were confronted – and defeated with guns by the patriots. -
