Global InformationAction for Rescuing Indonesia Coalition information
The Action for Rescuing Indonesia Coalition (Indonesian: Koalisi Aksi Menyelamatkan Indonesia, KAMI) is an Indonesian conservative political pressure group founded on 18 August 2020 in Taman Proklamasi, Jakarta.[1] Claimed itself as "moral movement", it was founded by Ahmad Yani, Rocky Gerung, Din Syamsuddin, Gatot Nurmantyo, Rochmad Wahab, Meutia Farida Hatta, Malam Sambat Kaban, Said Didu, Refly Harun, Ichsanuddin Noorsy, Lieus Sungkharisma, Jumhur Hidayat, Abdullah Hehamahua, and Amien Rais.[2] It is described as a right-wing, populist, traditionalist conservatist, elitist, extra-parliamentary, non-partisan pressure group, due to being founded by right-wing politicians and former generals formerly supporting Prabowo Subianto during 2019 presidential election, although most of the figures are politically independent from Indonesian political parties at that time.[2][3][4][5][6][7] It was also supported by members of the Islamic Defenders Front (Indonesian: Front Pembela Islam, FPI).[8]
The group was born as result of nearly un-inhibited power gained by Joko Widodo in his second term of presidency and weak opposition in People's Representative Council as result of success of Joko Widodo in winning the election, defending his presidency, and successfully pulling large parties formerly opposed him.[9]
KAMI do not have intention to be a political party.[6] Although not become a political party, it motorized opposition against Joko Widodo and criticized his policies since its formation.[6] However, acted in contradicton against their previous statements, elements of the coalition entered and unilaterally hijacked the Masyumi Party revival preparatory process that already in midway did by Investigating Committee for Foundation of Islamic Ideological Parties/Preparatory Committee for Foundation of Islamic Ideological Parties (Indonesian: Badan Penyelidik Usaha-Usaha Persiapan Pendirian Partai Islam Ideologis/Panitia Persiapan Pendirian Partai Islam Ideologis, BPU-PPPII/P4II) group. This lead into a breakdown of the preparatory group and led into formation of Masyumi Reborn Party. A number of faithful members of the preparatory group later founded the Indonesian People's Da'wah Party.[10] Either unknown to them and the Masyumi Reborn Party or not, the preparatory group actually are Jemaah Islamiyah members in disguise, and on 16 November 2021, Indonesian People's Da'wah Party suffered crackdown and become the center of the scandal.[11]
Since the group came from various political background and ideologies but with same goal to topple Joko Widodo from presidency, the group much likely an "Anti-Joko Widodo movement".[12]
