In May 1998 President Suharto resigned, ending three decades in power in Indonesia and what was known as the New Order. As an army general, he had intervened against a coup attempt in 1965 that ended with the sidelining of President Sukarno and months of massacres all over the archipelago as Suharto consolidated his grip.

This large nation of islands is both ethnically and religiously diverse, with many minority groups who find their rights abused and subordinated to the political and economic interests of the state and dominant culture. A variety of conflicts of varying intensities have been ongoing for decades throughout the country, notably in Aceh and Papua.
