Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism in Indonesia

Since December 2022, Indonesia has had no terrorist bombing and no armed attack by a terrorist network. This deck tells how that happened: six generations of terrorists over seven decades, and how Indonesia learned — often too late — to answer each one.

The Argument in One Paragraph
Every generation had different leaders, groups and schools — the jungle, Afghanistan, Mindanao, Syria, and now the phone. What connects them is an idea: a violent, extreme ideology. For seventy years Indonesia was one step behind, fighting rebels with soldiers, cells with intelligence and bombers with police. Only when it chose the law over war, prevention over reaction, and began to fight the idea itself did the attacks stop. No country can keep zero alone.
