Separatism in Indonesia

Separatism in Indonesia refers to movements by certain regions or groups seeking independence or greater autonomy from the central government. Indonesia, an archipelagic nation with diverse cultures and languages, has faced internal conflicts where some groups, like Aceh or Papua, wish to establish separate nations due to cultural, economic, or political differences. The government typically tries to maintain sovereignty and unity through negotiations or, at times, military action. These movements highlight challenges in balancing regional identities while preserving national integrity in a diverse country.
