The Maluku Sovereignty Front (FKM) (Indonesian: Front Kedaulatan Maluku) is a secessionist movement on Ambon Island, aiming to restore the Republic of the South Moluccas (RMS).[1] It was established on June 15, 2000 at Ambon.[2]
They have been monitored by the Indonesian military for stockpiling weapons and other activities. Indonesian sources claim that the group first emerged in January 1999.[citation needed]
One of their activities has been to fly the banned flag of the Republic of South Maluku in public places to commemorate an unsuccessful secession attempt in 1950.[3]
The leader of the FKM organisation Alex Manuputty has fled to the United States, but continues to support independence.[4]
