ETS Security Overview – Indonesia

The overall political climate in Indonesia is generally considered to be stable. However, protests do happen regularly, normally on key political dates or due to grievances from specific parts of society. Student protests are well documented as an example of countrywide social upheaval.

There is a high threat of terrorism in Indonesia. Terrorist groups have the capacity to plan attacks and have the intent to carry out these attacks across the country. The terrorist groups have proven that they can strike anywhere ranging from government buildings, security officers, bars and restaurants, places of worship, transportation hubs, and tourist destinations. One such example was the 2002 Bali bombing which caused widespread fatalities amongst foreign nationals and locals.

The terrorist groups do not use one method of attack and have utilized improvised explosive devices, suicide bombers, firearm attacks to name some as an example. Additionally, there have been attacks similar to the attack in Mumbai in 2008. On January 2016 Jakarta suffered a widespread assault from various extremists who coordinated bombings, hostage-taking, and suicide bombing which lead to open gun battles on the streets of Jakarta.  It took nearly 3 hours for authorities to regain control of the situation. Unfortunately, there were local and foreign fatalities during the attack.

Despite Indonesia’s security authorities employing tight enforcement of extremist groups the threat of an attack still remain high in Indonesia.  In addition to this travelers should exercise caution when traveling to Aceh, Central Sulawesi Province, Maluku Province, Papua and West Papua Province due to the potential for violence or violent conflict.

Significant risk of street crime and pickpocketing, particularly in busy tourist areas in Bali. Additionally, credit card fraud is common, and it is important to know where your credit cards and valuables are at all time. It is also commonplace for travelers to have their drinks spiked as there have been instances of this happening and in certain situations then being taken to their hotel rooms and robbed.

Natural disasters are also commonplace where the country is subject to regular earthquakes and tsunamis. However, Indonesia does have a tsunami early warning center which has been employed on various occasion. The country also has numerous active volcanoes which can give little to no warning before eruptions.
