However, he was replaced by his loyalist Habibie. The peoples that demand a democracy without the military system is not happy with this. No wonder Habibie does'nt get support of the peoples. The only forces supporting Habibie are the military [ABRI]. Recently the popularity of the ABRI declined and they got isolated because of human rights violations, disappearances and acts of terror committed in Indonesia and East-Timor. Habibie is only 6 months in power but it is a fact he is not capable to resolve the economical crisis. The ABRI acts more and more repressive towards the demands of the people. ABRI shows more and more the face of militaristic power. Since november 9 hunderds of thousands students, together with the people demonstrated in several places in Indonesia. They demand Habibie to resign, abolishing of the dwifungsi ABRI [demilitarisation], no recognition of the peoples-congres formed by Suharto and the forming of a provisional government. In Jakarta mass demonstrations are confronted with violent military. This confrontation took a heavy toll on human lives. Untill now 18 people died and hunderds are in hospital. Nevertheless the spirit of the people figthing for democracy just reinforced. That's why we want to invite you to join a solidarity activity for the support of the peoples resistance for democracy in Indonesia. The picket-line will be held on the Dam-square in Amsterdam, at thursday november 19, 1998 at 19.30 hours. * SUPPORT THE PEOPLES RESISTANCE IN INDONESIA! * DOWN WITH MILITARISM! * DEMOCRACY NOW! * FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!
