| [TODAYONLINE] Increasing concern over foreign terrorist fighters returning to South-east Asia has prompted Indonesia to enhance immigration cooperation with Asean member countries. But regional cooperation must be preceded by significant internal improvement, particularly in regards to the integrity and capability of the country’s immigration apparatus. Since coalition forces successfully pushed the so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) to djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and launched Operation Conquest, leaders from various countries have expressed their concern over the potential consequences of fleeing IS imported muscle. Indonesia -- a country where a small collection of IS fighters has its origins and where imported muscle are often attracted to joining local resistances -- must keep an eye on its border security. Indonesia already has experience in this issue, as its immigration and border security have been exploited in the past by Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) fighters wanting to enter or leave the country. Indonesia’s problem with people movement seems to centre on a lack of integrity in the immigration apparatus, as well as the sheer scale of its borderlands. |
