            some 300 ethnic groups and the Muslim community, although the largest,
            has always been the target of severe oppression.
               In Indonesia, a former Dutch colony, the rule of the country has always
            been in the hands of people of Javanese origin, who make up 7% of the
            population. After seizing power, the Javanese ruling elite struggled to
            keep complete control of the country and, to this end, have worked hard
            at the project of building the concept of Indonesian nationality, or
            Javanese nationality, despite the multi-ethnic texture of the country.
            Reactionary movements from the Muslims of Ache Sumatra came in 1953
            with their declaration of independence. Upon this, the ruling elite
            declared the Muslims traitors and subjected them to mass executions.
            Meanwhile in 1968, Suharto, backed by the US, became president and
            massacred one million people, according to reports by Amnesty
            International.
               By 1998, the year when Suharto became president for the seventh time,
            corruption was already endemic in Indonesia ,with Suharto employing
            nepotism to maximum advantage. This
            last betrayal of public trust sparked off
            riots since the atrocious regime and
                                                         Pharaoh said, 'Have
