 | | The Indonesian Communist party (PKI) was founded in 1920; in 1927 the Indonesian Nationalist party (PNI) arose under the leadership of Sukarno. |  | | Relations were strained with Malaysia in 2002 when as many as 400,000 Indonesians were forcibly deported under a tough new anti-illegal-immigrant law. |  | | In 1825, Prince Diponegoro of Java launched a long and bloody guerrilla war against the colonists, and in 1906 and again in 1908 the native rulers of Bali led their subjects in suicidal charges against Dutch fortifications. |

 | | Although the FKM is predominantly Christian, many Christians in Maluku do not support it, regarding its actions as provocative. |  | | The FKM pressed for sovereignty, but also said it sought to protect Christians from violence which erupted in Maluku in 1999 and became significantly worse after the arrival of fighters from a radical Java-based militia, Laskar Jihad. |  | | Sectarian suspicions remain strong, and the violence erupted after members of the outlawed Maluku Sovereignty Front (FKM) held a parade and displayed the banned flag of the South Maluku Republic (RMS). |
