In this week's episode we're looking at how IS and al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist groups in Southeast Asia continue to exploit online platforms to disseminate propaganda, even as attacks in the region decline. We explore the history of militant Islamist activities in the region, as well as the key players; Why and how these groups and their supporters focus so much of their energy on online propaganda; And why we should care when terrorist content stays online.A note: we recorded this episode before the announcement by leaders of the Jemaah Islamiyah, or JI, of the group's disbandment. It's one of the main groups we explore in this episode.Archie Macfarlane is joined by Dr. Judith Jacob.

En Asie du Sud-Est, l'impact de la victoire des talibans prend un tour inquiétant. Utilisé pour booster le moral de certains groupes jihadistes, le modèle des talibans semble également renforcer leur motivation à instaurer un califat. De notre correspondante à Kuala Lumpur, Lorsque le jeune Nasir Abas a été envoyé en Afghanistan en 1987 par Abu Bakar Bashir, le futur leader du groupe terroriste Jemaah Islamiyah, c'était avec la promesse de défendre les moudjahidines contre l'invasion russe. Mais arrivé sur place, l'adolescent a vite déchanté. J'ai été si frustré, car on ne m'avait pas dit qu'en Afghanistan, je ne ferai qu'aller dans leur académie militaire. Moi je venais de lâcher l'école, je voulais combattre ! Mais en fait je suis retourné dans une autre école où j'ai tout appris sur l'armement, comment tirer, mais aussi comment faire des armes, comment fabriquer des bombes, la chimie nécessaire pour ça. En fait, la mission première d'Abu Bakar Bashir était de former des gens là-bas pour ensuite rapporter ce savoir-faire en Indonésie. Des liens qui restent importants Et c'est ce que fera ensuite Nasir Abas en entraînant sans le savoir les futurs poseurs de bombes des attentats de Bali, de Jakarta ou de Makassar. Aujourd'hui, l'homme a 52 ans et a changé de camp, il lutte contre la radicalisation et collabore avec les autorités. Mais les liens entre les groupes qui soutiennent al-Qaïda en Asie du Sud-Est et l'Afghanistan restent, selon lui, importants. « Jemaah Islamiyah est toujours admiratif de ce qu'ils ont appris en Afghanistan, et c'est toujours ce savoir-faire qui est enseigné, répliqué… », souligne Nasir Aba. Tenter de faire venir des talibans en Asie du Sud-Est Depuis la victoire des talibans, le moral de ce groupe qui veut instaurer un califat en Indonésie est au beau fixe, et l'ancien jihadiste confirme leur envie pressante de retourner en Afghanistan, ou à défaut, de faire venir des talibans pour apprendre auprès d'eux. « Ils placent beaucoup d'espoir dans les talibans. Dieu merci, à cause de la pandémie, les frontières des différents pays sont très surveillées et difficiles à passer », dit-il. Mais il n'y a pas que Jemaah Islamiyah, qui tâche d'établir des liens avec l'Afghanistan. Du côté des sympathisants de Daech, l'admiration pour leurs homologues afghans a déjà motivé certains à partir, rappelle Sana Jaffrey de l'Institute of Policy Analysis of Conflict. Les départs ont débuté quand il est devenu impossible d'aller en Syrie. Il y a a priori autour de 23 Indonésiens. Sept d'entre eux ont été mis en prison, car ils ont été attrapés au moment de traverser la frontière entre l'Iran et l'Afghanistan. Actuellement, on ne sait pas s'ils ont été libérés par les talibans, s'ils sont toujours en prison ou ailleurs.Quelques soutiens prudents Sur le plan politique enfin, l'Asie du Sud-Est a vu certains groupes féliciter les talibans pour leur victoire. Parmi eux, le Parti islamique malaisien, aujourd'hui dans la coalition au pouvoir selon l'analyse du chercheur Ahmad el-Muhammady. « C'est un soutien qui reste prudent, encore. Ils félicitent les talibans en assurant qu'ils ont libéré le pays de l'occupation américaine, qu'ils semblent avoir appris de leurs erreurs, qu'ils ont changé et que notre perception d'eux doit donc aussi changer. » Cette volonté de croire en ce changement est partagée au-delà du Parti islamique. Une députée d'un autre parti au pouvoir a ainsi proposé d'aller en Afghanistan pour aider les talibans à s'inspirer de la Malaisie en matière de droit des femmes.

Mahkamah Agung AS menolak gugatan kelompok pejuang hak aborsi dan mengizinkan pemberlakuan undang-undang anti-aborsi di Texas. Sementara itu, Kementerian Luar Negeri RI mengaku tidak mendapat notifikasi sidang pendahuluan mantan pemimpin Jemaah Islamiyah, Hambali, dari pemerintah AS.
Keberhasilan Taliban menguasai kembali Afghanistan diyakini turut mengobarkan euforia anggota Jemaah Islamiyah di Indonesia.
In 2015, the Philippine National Police Special Armed Forces were set to capture and/or neutralise a prominent member of the southeast Asian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah. Operation or Oplan Exodus looked like it was a simple and straightforward mission. But what started out as a seemingly solid police operation would later turn out to be one of the bloodiest encounters with Filipino Muslim rebels in the Philippines. The fallout of the ill-fated mission would expose flaws in the planning process and missteps that ultimately cost lives. Listen now for the full story.*At the end of this episode, I mentioned the de-brief episode that I was supposed to release last Friday for Patreon patrons.

In late March, Indonesia faced two terror attacks in the space of a week, with a husband and wife conducting a suicide bombing against a cathedral in Makassar, and a woman attacking Indonesian police headquarters carrying an Airsoft gun. Indonesian police described the perpetrators of both attacks as supporters of the Islamic State or ISIS – the group’s supporters have been responsible for a string of attacks in Indonesia over the past five years, albeit mostly causing few fatalities, including attacks in Indonesia’s two main cities Jakarta and Surabaya in 2016 and 2018. What do these recent attacks tell us about the nature of the terrorist threat in Indonesia, and how is this threat changing? Are ISIS supporters the main threat to Indonesian security or are longer-established organisations such as Jemaah Islamiyah emerging anew? Why have terrorist attacks in Indonesia persisted despite the imprisonment of hundreds of terrorist perpetrators? And how well have Indonesian authorities responded to the threat of terrorism and extremism. In this week’s Talking Indonesia podcast, Dr Dave McRae discusses these issues with Sidney Jones , director of the Jakarta-based Institute for the Policy Analysis of Conflict or IPAC, a world leading expert on jihadi terrorism in Southeast Asia. The Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Annisa Beta from the University of Melbourne’s School of Culture and Communication, Dr Dave McRae from the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute, Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University, and Dr Charlotte Setijadi from the Singapore Management University.

Sarah, together with her father and brother, meets the bombers who killed her mother as she and her family attempt to understand how the men who carried it out could be followers of the same faith – and claim to carry out the act in the name of Islam. On her fifth birthday Sarah’s mother died from injuries sustained in a terrorist attack. She was the victim of a car bomb that exploded outside the Australian embassy in the Indonesian capital Jakarta in 2004. It was one of a series of bombings carried out by a local Islamist militant group Jemaah Islamiyah or J-I who were responsible for the country’s worst terrorist attack – the bombing on the holiday island of Bali in 2002 that killed more than 200 people. J-I members Rois and Ahmad Hassan are now on death row for their role in the bombing that killed Sarah’s mother. Rebecca Henschke witnesses the extraordinary meeting between Sarah and her mother’s killers on Indonesia’s highest security prison island.

“I am an expert bomb maker. I can make bombs in just five minutes; it’s easier than making a kite.” For Heart and Soul, Rebecca Henschke meets a bomber turned peacemaker as part of the Crossing Divides series on the BBC World Service. Ali Fauzi was a chief bomb-maker for Jemaah Islamiyah, a terror group with links to Al-Qaeda, responsible for Indonesia’s worst terrorist attack – the Bali bombing in 2002. His brothers carried out the bombing. Two of the brothers were executed, while another is behind bars for life. Ali insists he was not involved in the Bali bombing, but spent three years in prison for terror-related offences. That was when his life took on a dramatically new direction. He is now on a mission to help former jihadis leave a life of violence, and to stop new recruits from joining the next wave of terror groups in South East Asia.

This week Hayat and Erin kick off with another PR bummer for palm oil — does it fund terrorism? The police allege it does after nabbing the head of terror group Jemaah Islamiyah. Keeping with an environmental theme they look at the struggle to find new homes for the dwindling Sumatran and Javan rhinos as well as Jakarta’s rancid air quality. Emerging blasphemy cases, reclamation developments and a shoddy band-aid fix for flight ticket prices, can Indonesia catch a break this week!

On this week's podcast, Julie Chernov Hwang talks about her new book, Why Terrorists Quit: The Disengagement of Indonesian Jihadists, (Cornell Press, 2018) on the factors that convince jihadists to move away from the extremist ideologies of groups like Jemaah Islamiyah and Mujahidin KOMPAK. Over the course of six years Chernov Hwang conducted more than one hundred interviews with current and former leaders and followers of radical Islamist groups in Indonesia to write this book. "The linchpin of successful disengagement, reintegration. is the establishment of an alternative social network of friends, mentors, and supportive family members. Then second and complementary to that are priority shifts that refocus the extremist away from movement- towards family, towards furthering one's education, towards finding gainful employment to sustain life," says Chernov Hwang. "And so these two factors taken together can help the extremists develop a post Jihad identity, possibly post group identity. And moreover they can function as a counterweight to the pull of the movement, the friends, and the incentives for reengagement too." Julie Chernov Hwang is an associate professor of political science and international relations in the Center for People, Politics and Markets at Goucher College. She was a 2012 Luce South East Asia Fellow at the East West Center and currently serves as Managing Editor of Asian Security.
