Archipelago of Fire – Uprising in Indonesia
News from Indonesia. 25th August and continuing….
Angry youth uprising triggered by rising taxes for public and repressive military. There’s no organisation, the insurrection is being spearheaded by young anarchist, nihilists and uncontrollables. Many young anarchists from high school students association are arrested. The high schoolers are the energy. Around 400 of them were arrested on 25th August according to reports. Most of the action coordinated live on social media. Usually some liberal union or opposition party controls the narratives but not this time. Even mainstream media acknowledge that social media is the source of the documentation. Politicians cannot control the narratives any longer. It’s been a tradition for decades that executive student bodies normally are stewards for these kind of demos, but each year these brokers are getting outed. By the students themselves. That’s why NGOs, unions, “civil anarchists” and students associations of left and right hate the anti-organisational faction.
Fuck them all. We provoke the youngsters to act for themselves.Individuals are no longer spooked by ideological duty, norms and all those extrenal values…
Last night, 28th August, police killed one dead. Nationwide riot against the tax rise. In several cities the riot was organic and self-organised. The police public image continues to crumble, as the peoplke supports the rioters. Cells coordinated other things and most nihilist-insurrectionary announcement are quite dominating the narrative. Anonymous instagram social media accounts with thousands of followers calling for anti-political insurgency. Everyday they make good calls and explanations.
The union brokers announced they would be on the streets and “there will be no riot”, but the youngsters and rioters mock them right away on social media. We give it up to the youngsters. we can only stimulate them to be more uncontrollable. At the night, the internet went to shit. While “civil anarchist” calling for people’s council we call for fuck everything. Only providing networking coordination and street action technical facts. We never really organise people.
Friday 29th August. Basically anarchists control the narrative. People responding to the nationwide call to attack the police station and the police themselves. Attack the government and the mass-media lost control of the information and news.
Our network keep calling for revenge since the police murder last night and its getting hotter. The cells are in the streets.
You can see the uprising on various news though all the good videos only on social medias.

Jakarta Under Siege
August 25th, 2025. Jakarta no longer belongs to the rotten elites. Thousands from every corner of the land storm the capital. This is not just a protest- it’s a collective eruption of rage against rising housing taxes, endless corruption, and the military-police dogs of the state.
From dawn til midnight, the streets turn into a battlefield of defiance. Screams, fire and stones become the people’s language of fury.
This is not some puppet show of the elites- this is raw anger, untamed, leaderless and impossible to control.
Komotini, Greece: Update from the Defence Actions of the Evicted Anarchist Steki Utopia A.D.
A few hours after today’s eviction of the Anarchist Steki Utopia A.D., an open assembly was held in which a large number of people in solidarity were informed about the situation.
As a first move, a reflexive march of 60 people poured into the city centre, with a strong pulse and slogans. It should be noted that although the guards of the university were ordered to call the cops, the presence of police forces was non-existent throughout the protests.
The march ended outside the evicted hangout, where the next steps were discussed. We believe that the eviction of the hangout is a continuation of the state attack on the occupied law school and the arrest of 18 students, 12 of which turned into arrests.
The main persons responsible for the repressive operations are the rector Fotis Maris and the dean of the law school, Michalis Chrysomallis. Neither of them, however, has so far taken responsibility for organizing the above-mentioned actions.
We, for our part, on the one hand, call on the rectorate, if it has a trace of dignity, to stop shifting its responsibilities elsewhere, on the other hand, we assure that we will not choose the path of silence and we warn that nothing will be left unanswered.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for a raid on a riot squad of MAT
…And life became the biggest lie
There is no police brutality
There are only bloodthirsty protesters in a brutal fury
with the breakneck speed of desperation
the com-mat-asfalites1, the chemical tear gas, the shields.
the helmets, the incubating cages
the snake eggs of the fascist crawling society….
George Tsingos and the Black Circles
Watching the domestic news of the last few months, one will see that despite the social reactions that have developed, the isolation and suppression of the antagonistic movement as well as the imposition of unprecedented social control measures remains a key objective of the Greek state. The gentrification of Exarcheia includes the construction of a metro station in the square, the redevelopment-privatisation of the Strefi Hill and the blocking of access to the Polytechnic and aims to uproot the revolutionary tradition of the area. Similarly, the installation of MAT platoons and all kinds of cops inside the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki aims to sterilize the university premises from any voice of opposition to the bosses. But beyond hitting the movements, the hiring of thousands of new cops, the millions given to equip the police and their constant presence in the public arena on every occasion set the tone of the new social contract. And all this at a time when society is being impoverished anew, with precision pushing those from below to the limits of survival. In a nutshell as Petsas arrogantly informed us adaptation (to capitalist and state dictates) or death.
The effort by the current government to restructure the education system and especially the universities begins the very next day after its election with the abolition of the university asylum. Their pretext was to crack down on lawlessness and instil a sense of security. This was followed by the passing of Law 4777 in the midst of quarantine to avoid major social reactions. The response to those that were manifested was a display of fierceness and brutality. Just a few examples:
- the pulling of a gun by a cop at the ΑΣΣΟΕ (Athens School of Economics)
- the two evacuations of the occupied rectorate of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in the space of one month in 2021
- the evacuation of the steki at the Biologcko
- the hundreds of injuries, beatings and arrests in the last two years in student mobilizations
- the firing of asphyxiant inside the ΣΘΕ (School of Sciences) in broad daylight with hundreds of students and workers trapped inside the building and suffocating
- the hitting and severely injuring of a student with a flashbang grenade fired at point-blank range
- the murderous attack on the crowd attending Thanasis Papakostantinou’s concert during the 3rd Libertarian Festival of Occupied Spaces and Collectives, which almost resulted in people being trampled.
