Indonesia: Tackling Radicalism in Poso
Asia Briefing N¡ã75 
22 January 2008 

OVERVIEW

A year after major police operations in the Central Sulawesi 
district of Poso, there are grounds for cautious optimism that 
Muslim-Christian and jihadist violence is a thing of the past. But 
much remains to be done to ensure that peace is sustained, including 
resolving underlying grievances relating to justice and 
accountability, and ensuring effective targeting and oversight of 
recovery funding. 

Serious violence in Poso has had a ten-year history. Between 1998 
and 2001, it had been the scene of Christian-Muslim fighting. After 
2001 and a government-brokered peace pact, the violence became one-
sided, with local extremists, many of them linked to and directed by 
the extremist organisation Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), mounting attacks 
on Christians, local officials and suspected informants. The 11 and 
22 January 2007 operations were the culmination of almost a year¡¯s 
unsuccessful effort by the police to persuade those responsible for 
criminal acts to turn themselves in. Fourteen militants and one 
policeman died in the process, but Poso is quieter and safer, by all 
accounts, than it has been in years. As a result of the January 
operations:

almost all the JI religious teachers from Java have fled the area;
the perpetrators of all the jihadi crimes committed since the 2001 
Malino peace accord have been identified, and most have been 
arrested, tried and convicted, without any backlash; 
the JI administrative unit (wakalah) in Poso appears to have been 
destroyed, at least temporarily;
a major vocational training program is underway aimed at ensuring 
that would-be extremists have career opportunities that will keep 
them out of trouble; 
the central government has made new funding available, including for 
improving education in the hope of diluting the influence of radical 
teaching; and
no serious violence has taken place in Poso in twelve months.

Despite remaining questions about whether the death toll was 
needlessly high, the operations have to be seen as a net gain for 
peace. But many problems remain, and the question is how to ensure 
that peace will be sustainable. Underlying grievances, particularly 
relating to justice and accountability, have not been fully 
resolved. Oversight of the new funding is poor, there are many 
allegations of corruption, and there are problems in ensuring equity 
among different groups of recipients. The problems with cash 
handouts to conflict victims mirror the difficulties that Aceh has 
faced with reintegration funding. Public distrust of the police 
remains high, particularly among non-governmental organisations 
(NGOs), hampering the prospects of community-based security. 

The government at all levels ¨C national, provincial and district ¨C 
needs urgently to institute strict auditing measures and increase 
transparency about how and to whom funds are being disbursed. Police 
and NGOs need to find ways to end their cold war. And donors need to 
ensure that a useful vocational training program for released 
prisoners and young men deemed potential troublemakers can be 
evaluated and continued.
