The recent decision of former general Muchdi Purwoprandjono – who is also a former commander of the Army’s Special Forces (Kopassus) – to declare his support for President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has added to the long list of former military generals taking part in the incumbent’s coalition.
Three former Indonesian Military (TNI) chiefs – Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko, Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Minister Wiranto and former vice president Try Sutrisno – as well as Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Luhut Pandjaitan, who was Kopassus’ antiterrorist unit chief, and former Navy chief of staff Marsetio are among the retired generals who have become Jokowi loyalists.
On Feb. 10, Jokowi and his running mate, Muslim cleric Ma’ruf Amin, officially received support from around 1,000 retired military officers, many of whom are generals. The support came just days after the President agreed to provide more civilian posts to active military personnel at government institutions.
The camp of challenger Prabowo Subianto, who is also a former military elite, has claimed that it has more former generals supporting the Gerindra Party chairman. Prominent retired generals backing him include former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, former TNI chief Djoko Santoso, former Navy chief Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno. However, Yudhoyono, who currently leads the Democratic Party, has decided to leave the election campaign to care for his ailing wife.
Prabowo, a former commander of Kopassus, is also backed by several retired members of the elite unit, including Lt. Gen. (ret) Yunus Yosfiah, a former Kopassus captain during Indonesia’s 1975 invasion of then-East Timor, and Lt. Gen. (ret) Yayat Sudrajat, the former chief of the military’s Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS).
While Jokowi’s campaign team has claimed that dozens of former generals have thrown their support behind the President’s reelection bid, Prabowo’s team claims it has gotten hundreds.
Gerindra deputy chairman and Prabowo’s stalwart Fadli Zon has proudly claimed that hundreds of retired military generals supported Prabowo.

Multiple explosions have rocked churches and hotels in Sri Lanka killing more than 150 people on Easter Day in the South Asian island nation.
More than 400 people have been injured in the worst attack since the end of civil war 10 years ago.
In Pictures: Sri Lanka Easter Sunday bombings
he death toll in a series of explosions that hit Sri Lanka during Easter celebrations on Sunday has reached 185, a local news portal Newsfirst reported citing local police.
Earlier reports said 160 people died and 500 others were wounded. According to the latest data, 35 foreigners are among those killed.
Summary
At least eight blasts hit locations including churches and hotels across Sri Lanka with at least 137 dead and many more injured
The five-star Shangri-La, Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand hotels in the heart of Colombo were targeted
Congregations were taking part in Easter Sunday services at the churches when the blasts hit
The death toll could rise significantly as hospitals report casualty figures
Sri Lanka bombings: Australian tourists caught up in Colombo hotel attacks
As many as 35 tourists have been killed in the Sri Lanka bombings with major hotels targeted and Australian tourists saying they’re frightened.
Sri Lanka’s predominant religion is Buddhism with 70 per cent of people adherents. Just under 13 per cent of Sri Lankans are Hindu, 9.7 per cent Muslim, and 7.6 per cent Christian, according to the country’s 2012 census.
Among the dead are 35 foreigners, local reports say, including nationals from the UK, US, Netherlands and Portugal.
WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:
At least 156 people killed after suicide bomb blasts at three churches and three hotels in Colombo, Sri Lanka
A seventh and eighth explosion in Easter Sunday massacre hours after the first six
Tourists from UK, US, Portugal and the Netherlands are among the victims
Theresa May brands attack "truly appalling" as world leaders express sorrow
Social media ban in place to prevent spread of misinformation, and night curfew imposed
Culprits identified, says defence minister Ruwan Wijewardene
Pope Francis condemns the attacks in his Easter Sunday message
ATTACK WARNINGS
It has emerged Sri Lanka's police chief warned of suicide bombers planning to hit "prominent churches" 10 days before today's attack.
Pujuth Jayasundara reportedly said: "A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama'ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo".
The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that was linked last year to the destruction of Buddhist statues.
There has been no immediate claims of responsibility for the attacks in a country which was at war for decades with Tamil separatists until 2009, during which bomb blasts in the capital were common.
Last year, there were 86 verified incidents of discrimination, threats and violence against Christians, according to the National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka (NCEASL).
And there have been recent reports of clashes between Sinhalese Buddhist and Muslim communities, with some hardline Buddhist groups accusing Muslims of forcing people to convert to Islam.
More than 400 people have been injured in the worst attack since the end of civil war 10 years ago.

Police say 13 suspects arrested
Ruwan Gunasekara, police spokesman, said 13 suspects have been arrested in connection with the bombings in Sri Lanka
In a statement, Gunasekara said police have obtained a vehicle they suspect was used to transport the suspects into Colombo. Police also found a safe house used by the attackers, it added.
The coordinated assaults, which killed at least 207 people and wounded more than 450 others, was the worst violence in the Indian Ocean island nation since its civil war ended a decade ago.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.
l Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez, reporting from Colombo, described the prime minister's statement "as a dig" at President Maithripala Sirisena, who heads the security forces.
Ties between the two leaders are at an all-time low following Sirisena's sacking of Wickremesinghe in October. The move triggered a weeks-long political crisis that ended only when the Supreme Court overturned that decision.
Three police officers were killed while conducting a search at a suspected safe house in Dematagoda, on the outskirts of Colombo, when its occupants apparently detonated explosives to prevent arrest, according to the defence minister.

Late on Sunday, the air force said an improvised explosive device had been found and disposed of close to the country's main airport in the capital, Colombo.
"A PVC pipe which was six feet in length containing explosives in it was discovered," spokesman Gihan Seneviratne told local media.
The vast majority of those killed are thought to be Sri Lankan nationals, including scores of Christians who died at Easter church services.
The country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it believes 36 foreign nationals are among the dead, with most still unidentified at a Colombo morgue.
The international victims include:
At least five British citizens - including two with joint US citizenship
Three Danish citizens
One Portuguese citizen and three Indian nationals, according to Sri Lankan officials
Two engineers from Turkey, according to Turkish news outlet Anadolu
One person from the Netherlands
One of the suicide bombers checked into the Cinnamon Grand hotel in Colombo under the name Mohamed Azzam Mohamed, Indian media wrote. He reportedly set off an explosive at the hotel’s busy restaurant while standing in line for the Easter Sunday breakfast buffet.
Two more suicide bombers, who were behind the attacks on the Shangri La hotel and a church in Batticaloa, have also been reportedly identified as Zahran Hashim and Abu Mohammed, according to a report by an Indian News 18 TV Channel. No other details about the alleged perpetrators have been revealed so far.

Yep Sri Lanka had nothing to do with the right wing attack in NZ, also it took months of planing to put together the Sri Lankan attack, as it did with the attack in NZ. Probably more to do with christian Tamil attack (invasion) of Sri Lanka than NZ's hijab wearing & gunslingers support for Islam.
Its has been proven that Brendon Tarrant received support preparing his crazy stunt, likewise it took months of planing to launch the attacks America and the coalition of the willing made against Iraq, Afghanistan Libya and probably years of arms shipments into Syria and bribes paid to Pakistan by the yanks so they could pretend that they killed Bin Larden.
Vietnam war was created when they put together S.E.A.T.O in 1954, New Zealand had armed corps deployed in Vietnam guarding a NZ civilian medical team in 1962/63 (something they lie about these days) they had medical people aiding Christians shipped into South Vietnam from North Vietnam by the yanks who stole the land off Buddhist farmers in the south and nz army tried to protect them, that months of planing to.

At the time PM John Howard was suffering from lost listen, a complete lack of knowledge of definitions sec.6, his place under the Constitution of Australia not above it.
And so as a matter of law, it certainly can be said that Prime Minister Clark formal request the NZ be accepted and share the benefits that other member states enjoy.
The New Zealand constitution and current parliament be forthwith dissolved by proclamation from out going Australian Governor General Sir Peter, and in first instance Defence Force personnel be deployed to provide security during speedy transformation...
