➤ The Winning Race
Congratulation to President Joko Widodo for winning the Indonesian presidential election of the second period 2019-2024
There was an election at the time of our visit to Bali in October 2018, so flags of The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle and others were common.
The current President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo is a member of this party, which may explain why they were more prevalent than other party’s flags.
The Central Java community, located in a southern district of Semarang, spent over $22,000 on the government-funded makeover in a bid to shake off its status as a degraded slum. Initiated by 54-year-old junior high principal Slamet Widodo, the project was inspired by at least 3 other towns in the country that adopted similar paint jobs, and has turned at least 232 homes in Kampung Pelangi into works of art. Creative murals adorning the walls of narrow passageways burst with life, giving a veritable pulse to the whole village.(WowShack)
Dear President Widodo!
Dear colleagues! The world’s majority, which stands with us!
I address you in Ukrainian, but in front of each of you on the table you will find our proposals. In your language. In demonstration of respect for you.
I have just returned to our capital. Returned from the city of Kherson.
Kherson is one of the key cities in the south of our country and the only regional centre that Russia managed to occupy after February 24.
And now Kherson is already liberated.
What does it mean? For Ukraine, this liberation operation of our Defence Forces is reminiscent of many battles of the past, which became turning points in the wars of the past.
Those battles symbolized such changes, after which people already knew who will be victorious even though the ultimate victory still had to be fought for.
It is like, for example, D-Day - the landing of the Allies in Normandy. It was not yet a final point in the fight against evil, but it already determined the entire further course of events. This is exactly what we are feeling now.
Now - when Kherson is free.
To liberate our entire land from the Russists, we still will have to fight for a while longer... To fight! However, if the victory will be ours in any case, and we are sure of it, then shouldn't we try to implement our formula for peace to save thousands of lives and protect the world from further destabilizations?
That is why I want to present our vision of the path to peace - how to actually achieve it. And not only for us, but also for all of you, your allies and partners.
In my statement in September of this year at UN General Assembly, I presented Ukraine’s formula for peace. A formula of peace for the world.
Just when the world was hoping to recover from the blows of the pandemic, the Russian war provoked a whole series of new global challenges. This must be stopped!
There is a set of solutions that need to be implemented. And I want the conversation about it to be public, not behind the scenes. I want it to be discussed in specific terms, and not in broad strokes.
Maybe I'll go over the allotted time limit.
But the issue of peace is worth it.
I want this aggressive Russian war to end justly and on the basis of the UN Charter and international law. Not "somehow" - according to the apt formulation of the UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
Ukraine should not be offered to conclude compromises with its conscience, sovereignty, territory and independence. We respect the rules and we are people of our word.
Ukraine has always been a leader in peacekeeping efforts, and the world has witnessed it. And if Russia says that it supposedly wants to end this war, let it prove it with actions.
Apparently, one cannot trust Russia's words, and there will be no Minsks-3, which Russia would violate immediately after signing.
If there are no concrete actions to restore peace, it means that Russia simply wants to deceive all of you again, deceive the world and freeze the war just when its defeats have become particularly notable.
We will not allow Russia to wait it out, build up its forces, and then start a new series of terror and global destabilization.
I am convinced now is the time when the Russian destructive war must and can be stopped.
So, here are the proposals of Ukraine:
The first is radiation and nuclear safety.
No one has the right to blackmail the world with a radioactive disaster. This is an axiom.
However, in front of the eyes of the whole world, Russia has turned our Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant into a radioactive bomb that can explode at any moment. Where will the radiation cloud go? Perhaps towards the territory of the EU. Maybe to Türkiye. Maybe to the Middle East. I consider as criminal even a hypothetical possibility of such a scenario!
Radiation safety must be restored. The IAEA has already provided respective recommendations, confirming all the risks that we have repeatedly raised. Therefore, Russia must immediately withdraw all its militants from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. The station must be immediately transferred to the control of the IAEA and the Ukrainian personnel. The normal connection of the station to the power grid must be restored immediately so that nothing threatens the stability of the reactors.
We proposed that IAEA missions are sent to all Ukrainian nuclear plants - four of them, 15 nuclear units in total. Plus the Chornobyl plant, which has been shut down and is under conservation. Such missions can verify that any hostile activity against Ukrainian nuclear facilities has indeed ceased.
How long does it take to implement it? Russia can begin the demilitarization of the Zaporizhzhia NPP as early as tomorrow if it is really ready to restore the radioactive safety it violated.
The same goes for the crazy threats of nuclear weapons that Russian officials resort to. There are and cannot be any excuses for nuclear blackmail. And I thank you, dear G-19, for making this clear.
However, please use all your power to make Russia abandon nuclear threats. The basis for such efforts can be the Budapest Memorandum and respective capabilities of the signatory states.
The second challenge is food security.
Thanks to the strong participation of the UN, Türkiye and other partners, we have demonstrated how the cooperation of a few can restore food security for the many.
I believe our export grain initiative deserves an indefinite extension - no matter when the war ends.
The right to food is a fundamental right of every person in the world.
Since July, Ukraine has exported over 10 million tons of food by sea. We can increase exports by several million tons per month. Thus for this I propose to expand the grain export initiative to our other ports - in particular, to the ports of Mykolaiv and "Olvia" in the Mykolaiv region.
I also call on all countries – and in particular your countries, dear G-19 leaders – to join our initiative to help the poorest with food.
We have already launched the initiative – "Grain From Ukraine". And the first vessel - Nord Vind - leaves for Ethiopia with 27 thousand tons of wheat on board. This is the amount that can feed almost 100,000 people per year. There can be many such ships from Ukraine, and therefore there will be many people in poor countries who are saved from starvation.
Ukraine can export 45 million tons of food this year. And let a significant part of it be directed to those who suffer the most.
What do we propose exactly? Each country can join with a specific contribution and become a co-creator of the victory over hunger and the food crisis.
The third is energy security.
All of you can witness what the Russian terror is aimed at now. This is an attempt to turn the cold into a weapon. A weapon against millions of people.
About 40% of our energy infrastructure were destroyed by the strikes of Russian missiles and Iranian drones used by the occupiers. Every week, Russia blows up our power plants, transformers, and electricity supply lines.
A related goal of this terror is to prevent the export of our electricity to neighbouring countries, which could significantly help them stabilize the energy situation and reduce prices for consumers.
Russia is interested in the energy crisis. And we should all be interested in ending terror.
I thank all our partners who have already helped Ukraine with the supply of air defence and missile defence systems. This allows us to shoot down some of the Russian missiles and Iranian drones. But we must fully protect our sky. I ask you to increase respective assistance!
We have already proposed that a mission of UN experts is sent to the objects of critical energy infrastructure of Ukraine to assess the scope of damage and the needs for restoration, as well as to prevent their further destruction. We need to speed up the dispatch of this mission!
This will be a specific contribution of the international community to the stabilization of the energy situation in Ukraine and Europe, and therefore in the global energy market.
However, regardless of the decisions of the world, any day Russia on its own can simply abandon strikes on Ukrainian energy generation and water and heat supply facilities. Let Russia prove by its rejection of terror that it is really interested in the restoration of peace.
We must also take a fundamental step so that energy resources are no longer used as weapons. Price restrictions on Russian energy resources should be introduced.
If Russia is trying to deprive Ukraine, Europe and all energy consumers in the world of predictability and price stability, the answer to this should be a forced limitation of export prices for Russia. So that the export price was not higher than the production cost. That's fair. If you take something away, the world has the right to take from you.
The fourth challenge is the release of all prisoners and deportees.
Thousands of our people - military and civilians - are in the Russian captivity. They are subjected to brutal torture - this is mass abuse!
In addition, we know by name 11 thousand children who were forcibly deported to Russia. They are separated from their parents in full knowledge that they have families.
Apart from the children, whose data we know, there are tens of thousands of those who were forcibly deported and about whom we know only indirectly. Among them are many, whose parents were killed by Russian strikes, and now they are being held in the state that murdered them.
Add to that hundreds of thousands of deported adults, and you will see what a humanitarian catastrophe the Russian war has caused.
Add political prisoners - Ukrainian citizens who are held in Russia and in the temporarily occupied territory, in particular in Crimea.
We must release all these people!
I want to point out that we did not find support from the International Committee of the Red Cross. We do not see that they are fully fighting to gain access to the camps, where Ukrainian prisoners of war and political prisoners are held. Neither they are helping to find deported Ukrainians. This self-withdrawal is the self-destruction of the Red Cross as an organization that was once respected.
We cannot wait.
Therefore, we must unite for the sake of the only realistic model of the release of prisoners - "all for all".
And also for the release of all children and adults who were deported to Russia.
I thank the partners for their efforts, which allowed the release of many Ukrainians and foreign citizens, who were captured by the Russians. And let your leadership and the sincere heart of other leaders, who are present now, help free other Ukrainians as well.
The fifth – implementation of the UN Charter and restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and the world order.
Article 2 of the UN Charter defines everything very clearly. Everything that Russia violated by this war.
Therefore, we must restore the validity of international law - and without any compromises with the aggressor. Because the UN Charter cannot be applied partially, selectively or "at will".
Russia must reaffirm the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the framework of the relevant resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the applicable international legally binding documents.
It is not up to negotiations.
The sixth challenge is withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities.
There is a clear understanding of how to achieve this.
Russia must withdraw all its troops and armed formations from the territory of Ukraine. Ukraine's control over all sections of our state border with Russia must be restored.
This will result in a real and complete cessation of hostilities.
Every day of delay means new deaths of Ukrainians, new threats to the world, and an insane increase in losses due to continuation of the Russian aggression – losses for everyone in the world.
The seventh – justice.
This is what stokes the greatest emotions.
Everywhere, when we liberate our land, we see one thing - Russia leaves behind torture chambers and mass burials of murdered people.
This was the case in Bucha and other cities in the north of the country after the occupation. This was the case in the Kharkiv region. The same we observe now in the Kherson region.
As of today, we have a full information about four hundred and thirty children killed by Russian strikes. Only children! And only those about whom we know everything for sure.
And how many mass graves are there in the territory that still remains under the control of Russia? What will we see in Mariupol?
That is why the world should endorse establishment of the Special Tribunal regarding the crime of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and the creation of an international mechanism to compensate for all the damages caused by this war. Compensation at the expense of Russian assets, because it is the aggressor who must do everything to restore the justice violated by it.
We have already proposed a resolution of the UN General Assembly regarding an international compensation mechanism for damages caused by the Russian war. It is endorsed. We ask you to implement it.
We are also preparing the second resolution - on the Special Tribunal. Please join and support it.
Because there is no such nation in the world that does not appreciate justice.
The eighth challenge is ecocide, the need for immediate protection of environment.
Millions of hectares of forest were burned by shelling. Almost two hundred thousand hectares of our land are contaminated with unexploded mines and shells. Dozens of coal mines are flooded, including the mine in which an underground nuclear test explosion was carried out in 1979...
This is the “Yunkom” mine in the Donetsk region. It is located on the territory occupied by Russia. It has been flooded for several years - precisely because of the occupiers. Everyone in Moscow knows what a threat it poses not only to the rivers in the Donetsk region, but also to the Black Sea basin. Only the de-occupation of our territory can provide the conditions for the elimination of this threat.
It is impossible to accurately calculate the amount of atmospheric pollution from burnt oil depots and other fires... As well as from blown up sewage facilities, burned chemical plants, innumerable burial sites of slayed animals.
Just imagine this – due to the Russian aggression, 6 million domestic animals died. 6 million! These are official numbers. At least 50,000 dolphins were killed in the Black Sea. Thousands of hectares of soil are contaminated with harmful substances - most of them are fertile soils. Were fertile soils.
During the last week’s Climate Summit in Egypt, I proposed a platform to assess the environmental damage of war. We have to implement it.
We must also find common responses to all environmental threats created by the war. Without this, there will be no return to a normal, stable life, and the reverberations of the war will remain for a long time - in the explosions of mines that will take the lives of children and adults, in the pollution of water, soil and atmosphere.
I thank all the countries that are already helping us with demining. There is an urgent need for an increased number of equipment and experts for these operations.
Funds and technologies are also needed for the restoration of water treatment facilities.
This is not just a Ukrainian problem. This is a challenge for the whole world.
The next - the ninth – is the prevention of escalation.
A risk that still exists and will remain until our security is properly ensured.
Ukraine is not a member of any of the alliances. And Russia was able to start this war precisely because Ukraine remained in the grey zone - between the Euro-Atlantic world and the Russian imperialism. Now we do not have any security assurances either. So, how can we prevent repetition of Russia’s such aggression against us?
We need effective security assurances. That is why we prepared a draft agreement – the Kyiv Security Compact, and have already presented it to partners.
Thus, we should hold an international conference to cement the key elements of the post-war security architecture in the Euro-Atlantic space, including guarantees for Ukraine.
The main outcome of the conference should be the signing of the Kyiv Security Compact.
We can do it any time - even this year. And we must do it.
And the tenth – confirmation of the end of the war.
When all the antiwar measures are implemented, when security and justice begin to be restored, a document confirming the end of the war should be signed by the parties.
I would like to emphasize that none of the steps above can take long. A month for one step at the most. For some steps, a couple of days are enough.
We already have a positive experience with the grain export initiative. How does it work?
There is the UN - and two other parties to the agreements: on one side Ukraine, Türkiye and the UN, and on the other side Russia, Türkiye and the UN.
Implementation of each of the points I have just presented can be worked out in a similar fashion. States ready to take the lead in this or that decision can become parties to the arrangement.
Once again:
radiation and nuclear safety; food security; energy security; release of all prisoners and deported persons; implementation of the UN Charter and restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and the world order; withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities; restoration of justice; countering ecocide; preventing escalation; and finally - confirmation of the end of the war.
Dear leaders!
I have outlined the paths each of you can choose for yourself - how to become a co-creator of peace.
Please choose your path for leadership - and together we will surely implement the peace formula.
What will it do?
It will save thousands of lives. It will restore the validity of international law. It will revitalize the security architecture. It will return the global stability, without which the whole world is suffering. In essence – this is what the honest countries of the world are cooperating for.
Peace is a global value. That, which is important for every person in the world.
I am confident that it is likewise for each of you, leaders of G-19.
I have outlined specific, practical solutions. They can be implemented. Quickly. They are effective.
And if Russia opposes our peace formula, you will see that it only wants war.
Ukraine is grateful to everyone in the world who helps us to protect freedom and to restore peace.
Let our joint efforts be crowned with success as soon as possible and be reflected in the outcomes of this summit.
Thank you for the invitation!
Glory to Ukraine!

Arrival of Indonesia's President Joko Widodo for the 30th ASEAN Summit
More than 415,000 people, equivalent to 12 percent of Singapore's citizens, have filed past his coffin in an overwhelming show of sympathy never seen before.
Singapore’s founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, passed away at the Singapore General Hospital at 3:18am on Monday, 23 March 2015.
Lee served as prime minister for 31 years from 1959, when Singapore was given self-rule by Britain, followed by another 20 years as cabinet adviser.
There has been a widespread show of grief -- accompanied by tributes from world leaders -- over the passing of the patriarch who governed Singapore with an iron fist, sidelining political opponents, muzzling the media and restricting political freedoms as he steered the economy to prosperity.
Former US president Bill Clinton, South Korean President Park Geun-Hye, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Indonesian President Joko Widodo, Brunei's King Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and Malaysian King Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah are among the foreign dignitaries attending the funeral.
Colonial ruler Britain is to be represented by former foreign secretary William Hague.

The war in Ukraine brought the West together. For the rest of the world, it’s complicated.
As the G20 gathers in Indonesia this week, there is no global consensus on the conflict.
Nikhil Kumar, Deputy Global Editor
Mariana Labbate, Global Editorial Assistant
November 14, 2022
To some, it came as a surprise. When Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil’s presidential election last month, attention soon turned to his stance on the war in Ukraine.
“He did want war,” Lula, as the Brazilian president-elect is known, was quoted as saying about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “If he didn’t want war, he would have negotiated a little more. That’s it.”
And what about the Russian President?
“I criticized [Vladimir] Putin when I was in Mexico City [in March], saying that it was a mistake to invade. But I don’t think anyone is trying to help create peace. People are stimulating hate against Putin. That won’t solve things!” Lula said.
Yet Lula’s remarks shouldn’t have come as a surprise; his quote was actually from May, and an interview with Time magazine. Nor is he an outlier; beyond the West, leaders in several large and strategically important countries have studiously avoided taking a hard line against Putin. The incoming Brazilian president’s views are one more reminder of a pair of uncomfortable truths for the U.S. and its NATO allies: Putin still has allies of his own; and many world leaders are still not standing — at least not wholeheartedly — with Ukraine.
The reasons differ, and in some cases their positions have evolved as the war has dragged on. China and India have attracted the most attention, given their size and sway on the world stage. But they have company in nearly every corner of the world. Indonesia, South Africa and even Turkey, a NATO member — to name three other strategically important nations — all have been careful not to antagonize Putin.
As leaders gather in Indonesia for this week’s G20 summit meetings, with the war very much on the agenda, “there isn’t a global consensus,” as Radityo Dharmaputra, a lecturer in international studies at Indonesia’s Airlangga University, put it to Grid.
“It can appear that way, sitting in the West,” he said. “But there are actually quite diverse views [on the war].”
This lack of consensus extends to global public opinion. A recent monthlong survey looked at how people in 25 countries viewed the conflict — and found that while those living in the West remained mostly strident in their opposition to Russia, showing little appetite for compromising with Putin, people in other parts of the world were more ambivalent. In some cases, they were sympathetic to Moscow.
In the U.S., the U.K., Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, and Australia, more than half of those polled in August and September were willing to maintain sanctions on Russia, even if that resulted in a small rise in living costs, as the war drives up food and energy prices.
But the picture elsewhere was very different: In Brazil, only 35 percent said that sanctions on Russia were worth it, if it meant even a small cost of living increase. There were similar results in India and Thailand. In Mexico, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, support for sanctions was lower still; and in Indonesia, only 19 percent of people said it was a price worth paying, according to the polling firm YouGov.
As Dharmaputra told Grid: “There is no one view on this war.”
A Question Of (Self) Interests
One big factor shaping these views is Russia’s still considerable economic clout. Although dented by Western sanctions, Russia’s influence is far from extinguished; thanks to its vast natural resources, Moscow maintains a commanding position in the world’s energy and food markets. And while Europe is rushing to cut its energy ties with Russia, others have made a judgment based on self-interests. Put differently, they feel they cannot afford to do so.
Take Brazil, which under outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro has been reluctant to line up against Russia. It’s a position that’s explained, at least in part, by the country’s trade patterns.
The news is complicated.

Sign up for Grid's daily newsletter and get the context you need on the most important stories of the day.
At the outset of the war, there were concerns in the country about the future of its fertilizer supplies. Brazil imports around 85 percent of the fertilizer it uses, with roughly one-quarter of those imports coming from Russia, the world’s biggest fertilizer exporter. These supplies are critical; agricultural exports are a major earner for the Brazilian economy. Domestically, Brazil is also struggling to contain a food crisis: One study from December 2020 showed that around half of Brazil’s 214 million people did not always have enough to eat.
Which is why sanctions on Moscow initially led to alarm in Brazil about how its farmers would secure the fertilizer they need to grow food — food for export and for the feeding of their own people. Although the sanctions did not directly target fertilizer purchases, restrictions on the Russian financial system, as well as other hurdles in trading with Moscow, triggered concerns about a shortfall.
Since then, things have played out in unexpected ways. Despite the sanctions, Russian exports to Brazil have continued, as Brazilian buyers find new ways to trade with Moscow. Earlier this year, for example, the New York Times reported that, unable to transact with sanctioned Russian banks, many Brazilian importers had switched to using international banking groups as middlemen to pay Russian suppliers.
Indeed, far from facing a shortage, there’s been a surge in Russian fertilizer shipments to Brazil. The country now has more than it can store, and some shipments have been reexported as a result.
In terms of overall volume, Russia’s trade with Brazil has ballooned by more than 100 percent since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, according to one recent New York Times analysis.
And the figures are higher elsewhere: NATO ally Turkey’s trade with Russia has spiked by almost 200 percent since the war began; India’s has tripled.
Before the outbreak of war, Russia accounted for only 1 to 2 percent of India’s oil supplies. Today, it accounts for around 22 percent of New Delhi’s imports. Russia has been selling discounted oil supplies to India since the war began; and India has refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In all these countries, that kind of quid pro quo exists, beyond the trade relationship: The goods keep moving, and in exchange, criticism of Putin and the war is muted. In India’s case, much was made of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that “today’s era is not an era of war,” when he met with Putin in September; the comments were framed as a mild rebuke of Putin. Yet this month, Modi dispatched his foreign minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, to Moscow, with a delegation comprising senior officials involved in India’s oil and gas, and other economically significant sectors.
As Jaishankar put it during the visit, summing up the feeling in many non-Western capitals: “We have seen that India-Russia relationship has worked to our advantage, so if it works to my advantage, I would like to keep that going.”
A Matter Of Geopolitics
But it is not all — or always — about trade. In India’s case, there are deep historical ties between New Delhi and Moscow going back to the Soviet period. These manifest themselves most prominently today in India’s defense sector: The country relies on Russia for some 60 percent of its military hardware.
And geopolitics has everything to do with the posture of Russia’s most prominent ally in the war.
China has from the beginning held to the Kremlin line that the war was provoked by NATO, and its recently rebooted alliance with Russia is based largely on antipathy toward the U.S. It was less than three weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine that Putin traveled to Beijing for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, at which the two declared a “no limits” friendship. The two leaders have long shared a view that the era of a U.S.-led world order is outdated and unfair; during the war, China’s support has taken the form of a deepened trade relationship and a toeing of Putin’s talking points. Perhaps most important, China has never issued any explicit criticism of Putin or his war.
As Yun Sun, director of the China program at the Washington, D.C.-based Stimson Center told Grid in September, “China’s policy on Russia is dependent on U.S.-China relations. As long as there’s no sign of improvement of relations with Washington, China will side with Russia, regardless of whether Russia wins or loses in Ukraine.” And as a matter of China’s core interests, Sun told Grid, the relationship with Moscow is a winner no matter how the war unfolds. “For China, if Russia wins, that’s great because China gains a stronger ally. If Russia loses, that is also great because China gains a vassal state, which is the second-largest nuclear power in the world.”
The Price Of Everything
For many beyond the U.S. and Europe, questions and concerns about the war ultimately boil down to questions and concerns about one of its main fallouts: inflation — in particular when it comes to prices of food and fuel. Middle- and lower-income countries were already struggling in the aftermath of the covid-19 pandemic; in economic terms, they suffered far more than the West. The Ukraine War has added to that pressure by driving up prices of everyday goods.
Indonesia offers a clear example of how these pressures have been linked to policy positions. Indonesian President Joko Widodo traveled to both Ukraine and Russia over the summer, carrying a message of peace, despite the fact he leads a nation on the other side of the world. Widodo was on a mission with a clear, domestically-focused goal: to ease the inflationary pressures on ordinary Indonesians. That meant no strong criticism of Putin.
“If you look at the outcomes of the visit, they were framed around issues related to food security and securing access to grain supplies — issues that were key domestic priorities for Indonesia,” Andreyka Natalegawa, an expert on Indonesia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., told Grid.
It’s a similar story in Brazil, Turkey and many nations in Africa — as those polls about Russian sanctions and costs of living made clear. Faced with a distant war and a clear and present problem at home, many world leaders have chosen to support Russia — or at least to keep their criticism to a minimum.
The Weight Of History
Beyond the money, and the geopolitics, there is an issue that is less tangible. Call it the power of long memories.
Analysts told Grid that public opinion in many countries was also being driven by long-standing skepticism about the West’s intentions.
“When you look at broader public opinion (in Indonesia), particularly online, there is a lot of sympathy for Russian narratives. And this is partially rooted in the fact that a lot of pro-Russia messaging has cast NATO and the U.S. as the instigator of the conflict, and this sort of messaging resonates among certain parts of the Indonesian population,” Natalegawa told Grid. “You can trace this back to some of the anti-Western sentiment and skepticism that came about as a result of the war in Iraq.”
Adds Dharmaputra, from Airlangga University: “There was historically a lot of anti-Western sentiment (in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia), which has led people to question the Western narrative. There is a lot of skepticism, and when you discuss Ukraine, people often bring up things like the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan.”
This is a narrative Putin himself has spun on many occasions; namely, who are you, the United States, to say that sending troops to other countries is a violation?
The weight of history doesn’t simply apply to public perceptions; government positions in many cases have also been shaped by longstanding diplomatic tradition.
Take South Africa, which joined the nonaligned movement shortly after its first democratic elections in the 1990s. The movement dates to the 1960s, and from the start, it held to the principle that it would not take sides in any major-power global disputes. Those principles continue to animate foreign policy and attitudes in South Africa today. As the country’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa, said during a visit to Washington, D.C., in September, in response to Western pressure to spurn Moscow: “We should not be told by anyone who we can associate with.”
There are also the historical ties between the country’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) and the former Soviet Union, which backed the ANC’s armed struggle to overturn apartheid. (In contrast to the stance adopted by the Reagan administration in the 1980s, which labeled the ANC a terrorist group.) As one leading South African foreign policy analyst wrote earlier this year, people remember these things — and these factors make many in the ruling establishment inclined toward Russia’s point of view.
“Many ANC leaders were educated or received military training (in the former Soviet Union),” Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, chief executive of the South Africa Institute of International Affairs, wrote over the summer.
Historic views of the West — and the U.S. — have also shaped perceptions in Brazil. To go back to where we began, Lula’s remarks in May were an example: then still a candidate for the presidency, he was speaking, first and foremost, to his leftist political base.
“What happened there reflected the classic stance of [Lula’s] Workers’ Party, of the Latin American left — he opposed American imperialism,” Guilherme Casarões, a political scientist and international relations professor at Brazil’s Getulio Vargas Foundation in São Paulo, told Grid.
“They have a very binary view of this, that basically sides with whoever is against the U.S. or, in this case, even NATO. They tend to be suspicious of American intentions always. It was his way of saying ‘Putin is wrong, but they are also fighting against U.S. imperialism.’”
As President, Casarões said, Lula is likely to be more diplomatic and strike a balance between the West and Ukraine, on the one hand, and Russia on the other.
“It’s important to remember both Zelenskyy and Putin congratulated Lula on his victory. They understand that Brazil’s stance might not be directly important, but it is symbolically relevant, especially in South America,” he added.
It’s a balance that will be familiar to leaders in many parts of the world, people who — whatever they really think of Putin and his war — have other calculations to make and other constituencies to worry about. Like so much else about this war, it’s complicated.

THIS village has been painted rainbow and it’s all for you.
The former “slum” Kampung Pelangi in Randusari, Indonesia, has been given a 300 million Indonesian Rupiah (AUD$30,000) facelift by the local government in a bid to attract more tourists to the area.
The little Indonesian village of Kampung Pelangi was formerly considered a slum. But now it’s had a bold $30,000 makeover.
The little Indonesian village of Kampung Pelangi was formerly considered a slum. But now it’s had a bold $30,000 makeover.
The project, which took just over a month to complete, was revealed at the end of April — and it has worked.
Now dubbed the “Rainbow Village”, Kampung Pelangi is trending on social media as visitors flock to the area for the perfect Instagram snap.
And the town’s local economy is already starting to reap the benefits. Residents are selling food and souvenirs to the increasing numbers of tourists visiting the area.
The idea to paint the town red — and yellow and green and pink and blue — came from a local teacher.

Slamet Widodo, a 54-year-old teacher, came up with the idea for the Rainbow Village, after hearig about similar success stories in Asia.
“The idea to create Kampung Pelango came after we saw the beauty of Kampung Warna-warni and Kampung Tridi in Malang, and later Kampung Kali Code in Yogyakarta,” he told the Jakarta Post.
“Hopefully Kampung Pelangi will be the biggest one in Indonesia and offer a new tourist attraction in Semarang.”
Currently, at least 232 houses have been painted in technicolour, but the Mayor of Semarang, Hendrar Prihadi, hopes to extend the colourful theme to 385 houses.
The Mayor himself even got in on the action and got out a paint brush.
Kampung Pelangi in now trending on Instagram.

According to Lonely Planet, the village’s transformation has been an important social project, as it is encouraging citizens’ involvement in improving their community.
It is expected that the overall makeover budget will ultimately reach two billion Indonesian Rupiahs as other activities need to be carried out in the area, including clearing and cleaning the local river.

The Central Java community, located in a southern district of Semarang, spent over $22,000 on the government-funded makeover in a bid to shake off its status as a degraded slum. Initiated by 54-year-old junior high principal Slamet Widodo, the project was inspired by at least 3 other towns in the country that adopted similar paint jobs, and has turned at least 232 homes in Kampung Pelangi into works of art. Creative murals adorning the walls of narrow passageways burst with life, giving a veritable pulse to the whole village.(WowShack)
Untuk Kualitas Puasa yang Super, Hormati Orang yang Tidak Puasa.
Demikian isi salah satu spanduk yang terbentang di salah satu sudut jalan pada bulan Ramadhan 1437 H lalu. Spanduk tersebut kemudian menjadi ramai bahkan menjadi viral perbincangan, apalagi di dunia maya.Mereka yang setuju terhadap isi spanduk tersebut berdalih, bahwa orang yang berpuasa itu tidak butuh penghormatan manusia apalagi sampai berharap dirinya untuk dihormati. Jadi, tidak perlu harus ada kata-kata, “Hormatilah orang yang sedang berpuasa.” Bagi mereka justru puasa yang super itu adalah ketika orang yang sedang berpuasa menghormati mereka yang tidak berpuasa. Ini bagi mereka adalah salah satu bentuk toleransi yang harus dijaga.
Sekilas memang terdengar logis, masuk akal. Orang yang berpuasa harus bisa menahan diri saat melihat ada orang yang tidak berpuasa sedang makan atau minum. Dengan menahan hawa nafsu tersebut, kualitas puasanya menjadi lebih baik, atau super menurut istilah yang mereka gunakan.
Namun, bagi seorang Mukmin, ini adalah kemungkaran yang nyata, yang tidak boleh dibiarkan. Kemungkaran tersebut haruslah dicegah. Allah SWT berfirman:
وَلْتَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
Hendaklah ada di antara kalian segolongan umat yang menyerukan kebajikan dan melakukan amar makruf nahi mungkar. Merekalah kaum yang beruntung (QS Ali Imran [3]: 104).
Seruan toleransi pun mulai disuarakan. Apalagi ditambah dengan peristiwa penggrebekan warung Bu Saeni beberapa waktu lalu di Pasar Rau, Kota Serang, Banten oleh Satpol PP. Peristiwa penggrebekan warung makan Bu Saeni terus diberitakan oleh media hingga menampilkan kesan Saeni yang teraniaya atas tindakan satpol PP tersebut. Hasilnya, imbauan untuk menumbuhkan toleransi terus diserukan banyak tokoh, bahkan termasuk para penguasa di negeri ini. Wapres Jusuf Kalla, misalnya, berkomentar, “Yang tidak puasa menghormati orang puasa. Yang puasa juga tetap hormati yang tidak puasa,” kata Kalla (Kompas.com,12/06/2016).
Bahkan Presiden Jokowi memberikan bantuan uang sebesar sepuluh juta rupiah kepada Bu Saeni.
Toleransi semacam ini adalah toleransi yang keliru dan terbalik. Harusnya, yang tidak berpuasa menghormati mereka yang sedang berpuasa dengan cara tidak makan minum secara terang-terangan di tempat umum. Sebagaimana pada saat berlangsung shalat, mereka yang tidak shalat harus menghormati mereka yang sedang shalat dengan cara tidak membuat suasana berisik sehingga bisa mengganggu kekhusyukan mereka yang sedang shalat.
Makna Toleransi
Toleransi merupakan kata yang berasal dari Barat. Secara bahasa, toleransi berasal dari kata tolerance. Maknanya adalah “to endure without protest” (menahan perasaan tanpa protes).
Kata tolerance kemudian diadopsi ke dalam bahasa Indonesia menjadi toleransi yang berasal dari kata toleran. Kata ini mengandung arti: bersikap atau bersifat menenggang (menghargai, membiarkan, membolehkan) pendirian (pendapat, pandangan, kepercayaan, kebiasaan) yang berbeda atau yang bertentangan dengan pendiriannya (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia).
Kata toleransi ini kemudian dijadikan alat oleh musuh-musuh Islam, termasuk kaum Liberal yang ada di Indonesia. Kaum Liberal selalu menjadikan kebebasan sebagai fokus utama mereka, sebagaimana paham liberal yang mereka anut, yakni kebebasan tanpa batas yang menerjang norma-norma agama. Tema sentral yang biasa mereka usung ialah pemisahan agama dari politik, demokrasi, HAM, kesetaraan jender, kebebasan penafsiran teks agama, toleransi beragama, kebebasan berekspresi dan persamaan agama (pluralisme).
Berbeda dengan Islam. Islam mengartikan toleransi dengan istilah “tasâmuh”. Dalam kamus Al-Muhith, Oxford Study Dictionary English-Arabic (2008: 1120) istilah tasâmuh memiliki arti tasâhul (kemudahan). Artinya, Islam memberikan kemudahan bagi siapa saja untuk menjalankan apa yang ia yakini sesuai dengan ajaran masing-masing tanpa ada tekanan dan tidak mengusik ketauhidan.
Maka dari itu, umat Islam seharusnya jeli dalam memahami setiap persoalan yang kemudian membawa membawa-bawa istilah toleransi tersebut. Umat Islam tidak dibenarkan—agar tidak disebut intoleran—bersikap memaklumi dan menghargai sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam.
Menghambat Penegakan Syariah Islam
Sadar atau tidak, sikap toleransi yang salah tersebut akan menghambat upaya untuk tegaknya syariah Islam di negeri ini. Lihatlah, saat umat Islam menginginkan syariah Islam dijadikan aturan yang mengatur negeri ini, mereka berujar, “Kita harus menghormati agama lain, termasuk menghormati kelompok lain”. Dalih mereka, tidak boleh ada satu ajaran mendominasi ajaran lain; Indonesia adalah negara yang bukan hanya ada Islam, namun juga terdapat pemeluk agama lain. Padahal penerapan syariah Islam merupakan perkara yang diwajibkan atas umat Islam untuk mengatur urusan kehidupan mereka.
Allah SWT memerintahkan setiap Muslim agar dalam menjalankan semua aktivitasnya senantiasa sejalan dengan hukum syariah. Bahkan Allah SWT menafikan keimanan mereka yang tidak terikat dengan syariah yang dibawa oleh Rasulullah saw. (Lihat: QS an-Nisa’ [4]: 65).
Penafian keimanan atas mereka yang tidak terikat syariah dipertegas oleh Rasulullah saw. dengan sabdanya:
لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتىَّ يَكُونَ هَوَاهُ تَبَعاً لِمَا جِئْتُ بِهِ
Tidaklah beriman seseorang di antara kalian hingga ia menjadikan hawa nafsunya mengikuti apa yang aku bawa (HR Abu Hatim dalam Shahîh-nya).
Oleh karena itu, seorang Muslim tidak boleh melakukan perbuatan atau meman-faatkan apapun di luar ketentuan hukum, yakni harus selalu terikat dengan syariah (An-Nabhani, Muqaddimah ad-Dustûr, hlm. 84).
Kita juga bisa melihat beberapa kejadian yang menjadi penghambat tegaknya syariah Islam atas nama toleransi dalam masalah beragama, semisal:
1. Sejarah Piagam Jakarta.
Pada tanggal 22 Juni 1945, panitia kecil Badan Penyelidik Usaha-usaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia (BPUPKI) mengajukan rumusan dasar negara yang dikenal dengan nama Piagam Jakarta (Djakarta Charter). Panitia kecil tersebut terdiri atas sembilan orang sehingga kerap disebut Panitia Sembilan. Mereka adalah empat orang tokoh Islam, yaitu KH Wahid Hasyim, Abdul Kahar Muzakar, Abikoesno Tjokrosoeyoso dan H. Agus Salim; empat tokoh dari kalangan nasionalis sekular yakni Ir. Soekarno, Moh. Hatta, Achmad Soebardjo, Muhammad Yamin; dan satu perwakilan non-Muslim, yaitu A.A. Maramis.
Para tokoh Islam yang berada dalam panitia kecil tersebut mengusulkan Islam sebagai dasar Negara. Bahkan mereka memperkuat argumentasinya dengan membawa puluhan ribu tanda tangan tokoh Islam, ulama dan pimpinan pondok pesantren seluruh Indonesia yang menginginkan negara yang akan diproklamasikan berdasarkan Islam. Usulan tersebut ditolak oleh perwakilan dari tokoh-tokoh sekular dan non-Muslim. Namun, setelah melalui perdebatan panjang, Panitia Sembilan akhirnya sepakat dan merekomondasikan rumusan dasar negara yang dikenal dengan nama Piagam Jakarta (Djakarta Charter) yakni: “…maka disusunlah kemerdekaan kebangsaan Indonesia itu dalam suatu Hukum Dasar Negara Indonesia, yang berkedaulatan Rakyat dengan berdasar pada: “Ketuhanan, dengan kewajiban menjalankan syari’at Islam bagi pemeluk-pemeluknya.”
Namun, sehari setelah proklamasi kemerdekaan diproklamirkan, 7 kata tersebut kemudian dihapuskan.
Pencopotan syariah Islam bermula pada 17 Agustus sore. Seorang opsir Kaigun (Angkatan laut) bersama seorang juru bahasa, Nishijima, mendatangi Hatta di kediamannya.Opsir yang tidak disebutkan namanya itu keberatan dengan “syariat Islam”.
Dia beralasan, jika tetap mencantumkan kata “syariat Islam” golongan Protestan dan Katolik lebih suka berdiri di luar Republik Indonesia.
Karena itu pada 18 Agustus pagi, sebelum sidang Panitai Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia dimulai, Hatta melakukan rapat pendahuluan dengan Ki Bagus Hadikusumo, Wahid Hasjim, Mr. Kasman Singodeimejo dan Mr. Teuku Hasan. Dalam buku Memoir Mohammad Hatta (Tintamas: 1982, hlm. 458-459), Hatta mengatakan, “Supaya kita jangan pecah sebagai bangsa, kami mufakat untuk menghilangkan bagian kalimat yang menusuk hati kaum Kristen itu dan menggantinya dengan Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa.”
Akhirnya, dalam hitungan kurang dari 15 menit, seperti diceritakan Hatta dalam bukunya, Sekitar Proklamasi, tujuh kata dalam Piagam Jakarta dihapuskan. Sikap toleransi yang dilakukan oleh Moch. Hatta tersebut mengakibatkan 7 kata di dalam Pembukaan UUD 1945 tersebut hilang.
2. Perda-Perda Syariah.
UU No. 12 Tahun 2011 menentukan bahwa pemerintah daerah dapat membuat peraturan daerah. Karena itu sejumlah pemerintah daerah berlomba-lomba untuk merumuskan perda sesuai dengan keunikan dan kekhasan daerahnya masing-masing, termasuk keunikan beragamanya. Salah satu contoh peraturan daerah yang dibentuk berdasarkan ciri atau kekhasan tertentu adalah perda syariah.
Lebih 25 provinsi/kota/kabupaten telah melahirkan berbagai aturan baik dalam bentuk peraturan daerah atau instruksi kepala daerah yang dinilai sementara kalangan sebagai perda berbau syariah atau perda syariah.
Beberapa kali perda-perda itu digugat khususnya di lembaga parlemen. Kalangan Kristen dan Liberal yang paling getol mempermasalahkan. Pembentukan dan pemberlakuan perda itu dinilai inkonstitusional serta intoleran karena bertentangan dengan konstitusi dan Pancasila, meresahkan masyarakat, tidak sesuai dengan prinsip kebhinekaan dan mengancam NKRI; ditambah dengan alasan mengancam hak-hak kebebasan masyarakat sipil, hak-hak perempuan dan non-Muslim.
Pasca pemberitaan terkait dengan penggrebekan warung makan Bu Saeni yang menyita perhatian publik, muncul kabar Jokowi menghapus 3.143 Perda. Penghapusan Perda dan Peraturan Kepala Daerah itu diumumkan langsung Presiden Joko Widodo di Istana Presiden Senin (13/6) petang. “Sekali lagi saya tegaskan bahwa pembatalan ini untuk menjadikan Indonesia sebagai bangsa yang besar, yang toleran dan yang memiliki daya saing,” tegas Jokowi saat menutup pernyataannya seusai membacakan jenis-jenis perda yang dibatalkan tersebut.
Secara tersirat maksud dari kalimat perda yang bertentangan dengan perundangan-undangan yang lebih tinggi, sepertinya mengarah pada perda-perda syariah atau yang berbau syariah. Itu dapat dilihat dari alasan penghapusan perda-perda tersebut, yakni salah satunya adalah agar Indonesia menjadi bangsa yang besar dan toleran. Faktanya, para penolak perda syariah selalu berdalih bahwa perda syariah itu tidak toleran.
3. UU Perkawinan.
Undang-Undang Perkawinan no. 1 Tahun 1974 (UU-P no. 1/1974) tak pernah sepi dari kritik. Kelompok Liberal aktif menuntut revisi UU-P. Tim PUG Depag pada tahun 2004 pernah mengeluarkan CLD-KHI (Counter Legal Draft – Kompilasi Hukum Islam). Sebagai contoh masalah poligami (ta’addud al-zawjât), menurut draft yang terdapat di dalam CLD-KHI, adalah tidak diizinkan sama sekali, haram li ghayrihi (Pasal 3). Menurut CLD-KHI pula, pernikahan beda agama diizinkan asalkan bertujuan untuk mencapai tujuan perkawinan. Ini tentu pemahaman yang keliru dan menyimpang dari agama Islam. Dengan semangat liberalisme dan toleransi, mereka mengajukan draft ini kepada MK walaupun akhirnya usaha mereka tersebut gagal.
4. RUU Halal.
Setelah melalui jalan yang panjang dan berliku, akhirnya RUU Jaminan Produk Halal disahkan menjadi undang-undang pada rapat paripurna DPR RI hari Kamis, 25 September 2014 di Gedung Nusantara DPR RI, Jakarta (25/9). Rapat Paripurna yang dipimpin oleh Priyo Budi Santoso secara aklamasi menyetujui RUU JPH menjadi Undang-Undang.
Namun, kalau kita melihat proses RUU tersebut, upaya penolakan dari sebagian kalangan sangatlah terasa. Mereka beralasan, Negara Indonesia yang terbentang dari Sabang sampai Merauke, tiap etnik mempunyai kekayaan dengan beragam budaya, seni, ritual tradisi, adat, cara berpakaian, berbagai jenis produk minuman dan makanan kuliner yang berkembang selama berabad-abad, yang menunjukkan kemajemukan bangsa Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, RUU Halal akan mengotak-ngotakkan masyarakat, bertentangan dengan Pancasila dan UUD 1945.
Standar Ganda Toleransi
Kalau disepakati bahwa makna dari toleransi adalah menahan perasaan tanpa protes, maka tampak jelas bahwa kalangan Liberal tidak konsisten dengan konsep mereka sendiri untuk ‘tidak protes’ terhadap pendapat yang berbeda dari pemikiran/konsep yang mereka bawa. Kaum Muslim dipaksa tunduk pada argumentasi mereka kendati itu menyalahi konsep mereka sendiri.
Contoh bagaimana kehidupan Umat Islam di Bali saat Hari Raya Nyepi. Kaum Muslim harus mematikan lampu dan tidak boleh melaksanakan aktivitasnya dengan bebas pada hari itu. Bahkan belakangan, Raja Bali meminta kaum Muslim tidak menyembelih sapi karena binatang tersebut dianggap sebagai dewa. Terhadap kondisi ini, tidak ada kelompok Liberal yang protes. Sebaliknya, ketika kaum Muslim mengumandangkan azan melalui pengeras suara, mereka protes. Padahal suara keras itu ada di wilayah yang mayoritas Muslim. Kaum Muslim diminta menghormati non-Muslim dengan mengecilkan suara panggilan orang shalat tersebut.
Kita juga masih ingat bagaimana umat Islam di Tolikara dilarang melaksanakan shalat Id, juga dilarang membangun masjid. Padahal umat Islam di Indonesia adalah mayoritas. Namun, dalam masalah toleransi seolah digiring agar yang mayoritas mengalah kepada minoritas. Padahal yang minoritas harusnya sadar diri. Lihatlah juga bagaimana umat Islam yang mayoritas tersebut harus mengalah kepada kalangan yang tidak setuju terkait 7 kata di dalam Piagam Jakarta sehingga kemudian dihapuskan.
Oleh karena itu, toleransi adalah salah satu alat yang selalu dijadikan kafir Barat, kalangan liberal sekular, untuk menghalangi umat Islam hidup diatur dengan syariah Islam, karena itu berarti mengubur peradaban Barat yang sedang mereka bangun. Mereka hanya toleran terhadap kaum Muslim yang mau hidup dengan peradaban Barat, yakni melepaskan syariah Islam dari kehidupan.
