Test of strength

Article Abstract:

The student-led protests in Indonesia for democracy and reform continue despite the police assaults. These pro-democracy protesters demand an end to military's participation in the nation's politics, but that did not happen as the Special Assembly reached an agreement on reforms requested by a group of four senior opposition figures. Although there were shootings between protestors and police, most of the riots caused damages to office buildings and shopping malls.

Article Abstract:

The inter-religious violence on the Indonesian island of Ambon has killed about 170 people in two months. It was caused by an argument between a Christian minibus driver and a Muslim passenger in Jan, 1999. Thousands have left the island and thousands more have sought refuge in churches and mosques. The violence has spread to the capital, Jakarta, where 5000 Muslims at the Al Azhar mosque called for a holy war.
