Six years working in the Antara News Agency, then I moved to the Economic Prospek  magazine owned tycoon Sutrisno Bachir. The reason is simple, my salary rose 10-fold and car facility. New year in operation this magazine went bankrupt, while crews editor and many other fields of moving from Tempo Magazine, as Praginanto editor who became leader. Although Praginanto failed so Chief Editor Prospek  permanently as in '' coup 'own companions from Tempo.

Bankrupt Because I moved to the Media Indonesia daily for six years starting from the old office at Jalan Lama Gondangdia, to new offices in the region Kedoya, West Jakarta. Later in this region was also built by the owner Surya Paloh as Metro TV Television headquarters.

Six years I worked in Media Indonesia Harin I feel need to work  in Television (SCTV) during Sumita Tobing so Leader editorial and brother Eddy Ellison former Executive Editor Media Indonesia got the same position in Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV).

However, in my SCTV failed to enter because when medical tests revealed pain in my RCTI diabetes, even though I've written a letter of Resignation Media Indonesia daily.

Three years later the News Tempo rises again, and this magazine was sold and managed by other shareholders Speak English daily The Jakarta Post. But since most of the journalists back to Tempo Magazine and D & R difficult to grow and compete with his brother Tempo, finally early 2000 R & D Magazine closed.

Liputan6.com, Ambon: Ambon, Maluku, re-turbulent. At least 12 people were killed and 91 others wounded following riots in Ambon City, Sunday (25/4). In addition to casualties, some buildings and homes burned there.

  However, based on data from the Maluku Regional Police, killed about 10 people. So far allegedly triggered riots following the disappointment of the Islamic group that escorts the attitude of police investigators after the South Maluku Republic held a birthday celebration.

  While, up to now, injuries are still being treated in hospitals, such as Al-Fatah hospital, hospital Bhakti Rahayu, and Haulussy dr.

Actually, the tension started since Sunday morning. At that time, a total of 51 flags fluttering in the Moluccan RMS back-related commemoration the 54th anniversary of the separatist group. Seeing this condition, Maluku Police immediately deployed personnel to flag mostly mounted on top of the trees and mountains. At least two RMS flag raisers in Saparua also detained by police.

Situations so hot when the RMS group held a 54th anniversary of the RMS by mass Maluku Sovereignty Forum (FKM) at the residence of his executive leadership, Dr. Alex Manuputty Kudamati region [read: Again, the RMS flag fluttering in Ambon]. At that time, the ceremony led by the Secretary General of the RMS Tuanakota and followed Moses around 1,000 people. In this event, they also had to fly the flag of the RMS and the United Nations. Did not last long, the police came to the scene immediately lower the RMS flag. On this occasion, police also brought Moses to the Maluku Police Headquarters with a mass followed while carrying flags marched RMS. Arriving at the police headquarters, the police finally arrested 24 people who claimed to take responsibility.

While most of the mass of the RMS are not detained finally back home. But, in the middle of the trip, which returned from RMS supporters Maluku Police Headquarters it was intercepted mass calling itself Defenders of the Republic of Indonesia in Tugu Trikora. Initially, the two masses just throwing. But, the action so hot until you hear gunfire. Increasingly violent mass. The riots were inevitable and re-rupture.

Clash in Ambon

Not only in the monument area TRIKORA, riots also occurred in several other areas such as Pokka Mardika and the location of the mass concentration. At this location, provoked mass to burn. It is unclear which group started to burn. However, building representative of the United Nations there became the first building burned. A number of houses and hotels as well as a place of worship was also burned.

According to the Maluku Police Chief Brig Gen. Bambang Sutrisno, actually the police work together with military agencies and local government has been anticipating the celebration to launch Operation Red and White. In fact, the Maluku Police also have anticipated the RMS figure Moses Tuanakota attitudes that provoke the public by distributing leaflets warning that is not afraid to celebrate the birthday of the separatist group.

"Since 24 April night we have seized dozens RMS flag is raised in remote places, to Sunday morning," said Bambang when telewicara with SCTV reporter Bayu Sutiyono, on Sunday afternoon.

Regarding the situation in Ambon, Bambang said, it can be controlled within the meaning of the word is not new intergroup conflict. It also has to coordinate with community leaders and seeks to straighten out information that is not clear. Maluku Police have also insulate areas which are likely to lead to clashes. For example, public traffic, from the airport to Ambon turned on again by sea. In addition, the Maluku Police also have reported this unrest and require the addition of troops at Da `i Bachtiar Chief General. So also with the TNI has also been reported to the TNI chief Gen.

Just to refresh your memory, the horizontal conflict-torn Ambon City on January 19, 1999 Conflict nuanced racial religious tribal and Intergroup (SARA) was then expanded in almost the Moluccas. The government then finally apply for the Civil Emergency Maluku and North Maluku. And, efforts to reconcile the two warring parties finally paid off.

But the citizens of Maluku, particularly Ambon, continue to seek peace. Along with easing the conflict there, the government on 15 September 2003 finally repeal the Civil Emergency adopted pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 28 of 2000 on civil emergency in the provinces of Maluku and North Maluku - which later changed to Presidential Decree No. 40 Year 2002, while the status of Civil Emergency in North Maluku was repealed by Decree No. 27 of 2003 on the Elimination of Civil Emergency in North Maluku Province [read: civil emergency status in Maluku repealed].

Ambon Map Conflik

Allegedly Left Ambon Conflict Occurs

Friday, 30 April 2004 | 16:51 pm

TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Titian Institute of Peace (ITP), and the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) saw a strong tendency in the Ambon conflict left. This conclusion was drawn after ITP see a dialogue between society and the military commander and Deputy Police Ambon few hours before the riots of April 25.

Loulembah Malik, Director of ITP who happened to make a film about the recording of Ambon (24/4), in a discussion today (30/4), originally riots occurred in one bag (four points) in the city of Ambon. But suddenly the conflict extends to some point after the emergence of jargon or words that bernuasa very nationalist, like Homeland fixed price.

The conflict became widespread after no effective treatment and good coordination between the military, police, and the governor. "Initially riots just a stone's throw, but the situation then tightened with statementseperti shoot on sight, followed by fire," said Loulembah when aired video footage of Ambon in the building LIPI.

In addition to the omission, whether from government, military, and police, said Loulembah, conflicts arise because governments are incompetent to handle the situation postconflict Ambon. As law enforcement is still obtuse, communication between people is not the way politics and agendas of mass handling of dormant conflicts. In fact, after the conflict is very important, but the government prefers to secure election.

The three institutions regretted the linkage between Font Maluku Sovereignty (FKM) / Republic of South Maluku (RMS) and the Homeland of the conflict in Maluku. According to them should FKM / RMS should not be confused with the Christian groups that deal with Homeland associated as a Muslim group.

They asked the government and the authorities immediately explain who called support group FKM / RMS and Homeland in Ambon which is regarded as a trigger of conflict. "Two years after the post-conflict situation is conducive, but it exploded on April 25, coupled with the advent of Homeland terms and others that are nationalist," said Ichsan.

All three institutions also deplored the attitude of the local media who participated memperpanas Ambon atmosphere. Local media is regarded as one of the ignition of conflict because often raise sensitive issues that arouse a sense of local nationalism. But however these three institutions found conflict in Ambon as orchestrated by certain parties in Jakarta as well as the huge agenda that will take place (the presidential election). "It should be suspected agenda presidential election had an impact," said Loulembah.

With the advent of this conflict, a third institution requesting the prevention of the entry of armed groups / militias from outside Maluku especially in the name of religious symbols or reason to prevent separatism. Asked the central government to be more professional and more on repairing the conflict.

According to him, the improvement is much more complicated post-conflict and complex due to the destruction of the existing system. The government also must learn to deal with extraordinary events and more importantly the emergence of statements such as the Homeland and the RMS should not be confused with religion, such as Islam and RMS Homeland groups as Christian groups.

The government really wants to resolve the conflict in Ambon should not only be concerned with security but also run the bureaucracy and humanity simultaneously.
