Examiner I Anggara Raharyo, S.IP., M.PS. Examiner II Isyana Adriani, BA.,M.Si Adviser I iii ABSTRACT Terrorism is a problem that has made the world chaotic and split long ago. Terrorism has become the idea of killing children, women, and other innocent people. This radicalism also indirectly makes Islam considered one of the religions that started terrorism itself, which also tarnished the name of Islam and made "Islamophobia" as a new disease. The 9/11 incident in the United States can be said to be a modern-day terrorist initiator. The increasing reputation of ISIS has made many terrorist organizations in other parts of the world expressing loyalty to follow them. Two of the many organizations are Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and Maute Brothers in the Philippines. With two groups of followers there, they assigned both groups to capture the Marawi city and appointed Isnilon Hapilon, the ASG leader, to become Emir and Abdullah and Omarkhayam Maute, the leader of the Maute Brothers as his khalifa. In elections in 2016, the Philippines named a new president named Rodrigo Duterte, a hard-working person and wanted to remove drugs from his homeland. Brutally duterte kills every dealer and drug dealer Bandar. But by mid-2017, its mission to the Philippines was slightly disturbed by a terrorist organization under the influence of ISIS in the country. On May 23, 2017, the Philippine Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was assigned to capture the Emir Isnilon Hapilon, unfortunately the operation failed and the two terrorist groups succeeded in occupying Marawi. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte reclaimed the marawi City and what policies he has made in the process. The materials and data for this study were obtained from official publications of the Philippine government. Keywords: Terrorism, ISIS, Rodrigo Duterte, Philippines, Marawi City. iv ABSTRAK Terorisme adalah sebuah masalah yang sudah membuat dunia kacau dan terbelah- belah sejak dulu. Terorisme sudah menjadi paham yang membunuh anak-anak, perempuan, dan orang tidak bersalah lainnya. Radikalisme ini juga secara tidak langsung sudah menjadikan islam dianggap sebagai salah satu agama yang memulai terorisme itu sendiri, yang juga mencoreng nama islam dan menjadikan “islamophobia” sebagaisebuah penyakit baru. Peristiwa 9/11 di amerika serikat bisa di bilang sebagai pemulai terorisme zaman modern. Meningkatnya reputasi ISIS membuat banyak organisasi teroris di belahan dunia lainnya menyatakan kesetiaan untuk mengikuti mereka. Dua dari banyaknya organisasi tersebut adalah Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) dan Maute Brothers di Filipina. Dengan adanya dua kelompok pengikut mereka di sana, mereka menugaskan kedua kelompok itu untukmerebut kota Marawi dan mengangkat Isnilon Hapilon, pemimpim ASG, untuk menjadi Emir dan Abdullah dan Omarkhayam Maute, pemimpin Maute Brothers sebagai khalifahnya. Pada pemilihan umum di tahun 2016, Filipina mengangkat seorang presiden baru bernama Rodrigo Duterte, seorang berkepribadian keras dan ingin menghapus obat-obatan terlarang dari tanah airnya. Dengan brutal duterte membunuh setiap pengedar dan Bandar obat terlarang. Tetapi pada pertengahan 2017, misinya unntuk Filipina sedikit terganggu oleh sebuah organisasi teroris dibawah pengaruh ISIS diselatan Negara tersebut. Pada tanggal 23 Mei 2017, angkatan bersenjata Filipina, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), ditugaskan untuk menangkap sang Emir Isnilon Hapilon, sayangnya operasi tersebut gagal dan kedua kelompok teroris tersebut berhasil menduduki Marawi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menyelidiki bagaimana Presiden Filipina Rodrigo Duterte berhasil merebut kembali Kota marawi dan kebijakan apa saja yang di buat olehnya di dalam proses tersebut. Materi dan data untuk penelitian ini diperoleh dari publikasi resmi pemerintah Filipina. Kata Kunci: Terrorism, ISIS, Rodrigo Duterte, Philippines, Marawi City. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Bismillahhirrahmannirrahim.

  • Why Are Indonesians Prone to Support the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria?
    WHY ARE INDONESIANS PRONE TO SUPPORT THE ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA? Karen Savitri Universitas Pelita Harapan, Tangerang [email protected] ABSTRACT Negara Islam Irak dan Syam, atau lebih dikenal sebagai ISIS, mendeklarasikan dirinya sebagai sebuah khilafah, atau negara Islam, dengan Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi sebagai Khalifah atau pemimpin atas segala umat Muslim, pada tahun 2014. Dalam aksinya, mereka membunuh banyak orang, merugikan harta benda, serta membuat kerusakan infrastruktur dari wilayah kekuasaannya di Timur Tengah sampai dengan Asia Tenggara. Kabar kekerasan ISIS terdengar melalui media massa, dari internet, dalam artikel berita, dan didiskusikan di media sosial. Namun, dengan segala informasi mengenai kekejaman ISIS, mengapa masih ada orang Indonesia yang mendukung ISIS? Apa yang membuat mereka membenci orang-orang kafir? Apa yang memotivasi mereka untuk berjuang demi ISIS, bahkan sampai rela untuk kehilangan nyawa? Penelitian ini, dengan mengaplikasikan teori konstruktivisme, mendiskusikan kisah sejarah Indonesia dan faktor sosial yang mendasari alasan orang Indonesia mendukung ISIS. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui interview dan studi literatur dari buku dan artikel penelitian. Peneliti mendiskusikan total 6 (enam) faktor pendorong dan penarik, mulai dari kisah sejarah, radikalisme di Tanah Air, kecendrungan orang Muslim di Indonesia, dan generasi milenial. Keywords: Radicalization, extremism, ISIS, Indonesia 1. Introduction Since the Islamic State of Iraq and Indonesians, including women

Araja The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is coordinating with the Bureau of Customs and the Justice department to file charges against the exporter and consignee of the illegal waste shipments from the United States that were recently intercepted at the Subic Bay Freeport. On Oct. 22, Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda and Undersecretary for Special Concerns Edilberto Leonardo went to Subic to inspect the shipments. TRASH HAUL. Bureau of Customs-Port of Subic District Collector Maritess Martin points to a shipment of garbage, which was foiled before exiting the Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. The shipment was intercepted through the combined efforts of the Port’s District Collector, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS), Enforcement and Security Service (ESS) and Assessment Division, with close coordination and collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The shipment arrived from the United States and was consigned to a certain Bataan 2020 Inc. and was declared as American old corrugated cartons for repulping.

  • Maute Group Dan Jaringan Keluarga Dalam Kelompok Islam Radikal Di Filipina Selatan
    MAUTE GROUP DAN JARINGAN KELUARGA DALAM KELOMPOK ISLAM RADIKAL DI FILIPINA SELATAN Putu Agung Nara Indra Prima Satya Program Studi Ilmu Hubungan Internasional Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Katolik Parahyangan [email protected] Abstrak Perjalanan konflik antara pemerintah Filipina dengan kelompok-kelompok separatis di Filipina Selatan memunculkan beragam kelompok militan Islam seperti MILF, Abu Sayyaf, dan yang paling mutakhir, Kelompok Maute. Banyaknya kelompok militan yang muncul tersebut berawal dari perpecahan-perpecahan di dalam kelompok-kelompok militan tradisional di Filipina Selatan khususnya MNLF dan MILF. Fenomena perpecahan ini akhirnya memunculkan kelompok-kelompok sempalan yang kerap terlibat pertempuran di antara mereka sendiri. Di sisi lain, kelompok-kelompok tersebut justru memiliki latar belakang ikatan keluarga yang sangat erat. Tulisan ini menyoroti tentang peranan jaringan keluarga di dalam keberadaan kelompok-kelompok militan di Filipina Selatan khususnya Kelompok Maute. Kelompok Maute dapat berkembang pesat karena pendiri dan sebagian besar anggotanya memiliki hubungan keluarga dengan kelompok Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Ikatan keluarga ini akhirnya menjadi pelindung sekaligus faktor penting bagi berkembangnya radikalisme Kelompok Maute. Kata kunci: filipina selatan; kelompok radikal islam; MILF; kelompok maute; ikatan keluarga. Abstract The history of conflict between Philippines government and separatist group in Southern Phillipines area has formed many radical Islamic groups such as, MILF, Abu Sayyaf, and Maute group. The emergence of these groups was caused by the schism in the older militant groups such as MNLF and MILF. However, the disunity of the older militant groups and the emergence of the so called —splinter groups“ finally created conflicts among them. On the other hand, those groups bear resemblance in their family origins.

The core concept is that, while every battle is unique, certain functions continue to be performed by the enemy to reach mission accomplishment. Functional analysis determines threat objectives, the battlefield functions required, and the OEE Red Diamond published capabilities available for performing each function.

Mayuga January 28, 2021 In file photo provided by the Malacanang Presidential Photographers Division, floodwaters bought by Typhoon Vamco inundate Cagayan valley region in northern Philippines in Nov. 2020. Typhoon Vamco swelled rivers and flooded low-lying areas as it passed over the storm-battered northeast Philippines, where rescuers were deployed to help people flee the rising waters. (Ace Morandante/ Malacanang Presidential Photographers Division via AP) Secretary Roy A. Cimatu of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on Thursday announced that the massive rehabilitation of Cagayan River – the country’s largest river – will begin on February 2, coincides with World Wetlands Day, beginning with the removal of sandbars to clear the constricted section of the river and massive planting of bamboos along its banks. Cimatu, also concurrent chairman of the Task Force Build Back Better, said in a news statement that the rehabilitation of the Cagayan River is the culmination of weeks of meticulous planning and detailed coordination to ensure that each of the dredging equipment is safely transported to the sandbar sites, and that bamboos are grown at critical portions of the riverbank needing immediate measures to address stream bank erosion and instability. On top of the six amphibious dredgers of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), a total of 40 dredging equipment are expected to be deployed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), which consists of dump trucks, bulldozers, tractors, and scoop loaders.
