[Bocoran Wikileaks] Kawat Diplomatik AS Beber Kiprah Jokowi Dekati Kaum Radikal
Kawat Diplomatik AS Beber Kiprah Jokowi Dekati Kaum Radikal
Quote:
JAKARTA - Kiprah Joko Widodo alias Jokowi saat masih memimpin Solo ternyata tak luput dari perhatian Amerika Serikat. Dalam salah satu kawat diplomatik dari Kedutaan Besar AS di Jakarta, Jokowi dipuji sebagai sosok yang mampu mengubah Solo dari wilayah yang dikenal sebagai tempat orang-orang radikal menjadi kota yang ramah bagi turis.
Sebagaimana bocoran dari Wikileaks, Duta Besar AS di Jakarta, Cameron R Hume pada 3 November 2008 mengirim kawat diplomatik berjudul “SOLO -- FROM RADICAL HUB TO TOURIST HAVEN”. Dalam kawat terklasifikasi rahasia itu, AS menggambarkan Solo sebelum tahun 2005 sebagai kota yang terperosok secara ekonomi dan menjadi pusat kaum radikal Islam.
Pada tahun 1960-an, Solo dikenal sebagai wilayah tempat orang-orang kiri. Setelah peristiwa 1965, Solo berubah menjadi kota pusat pertumpahan darah oleh kelompok antikomunis. Dari kawat diplomatik AS itu juga disebut bahwa Solo kemudian menjadi kota tempat kaum radikal Islam
Namun ketika Jokowi naik menjadi Wali Kota Solo pada 2005, terjadi perubahan. Kedubes AS menulis dalam kawat diplomatiknya melaporkan bahwa wali kota baru berlatar pengusaha telah bekerja untuk menekan militan Islam sembari mempromosikan warisan budaya Solo dan potensi investasi.
Tertera pula bahwa ketika Jokowi naik sebagai wali kota pada 2005, Front Pembela Islam (FPI) sedang gencar-gencarnya mengancam untuk melakukan sweeping terhadap warga negara asing dari Solo. Hingga hotel-hotel pun terpaksa ditutup.
Kedubes AS mencatat wali kota sebelum Jokowi tak bisa berbuat banyak karena tak memiliki kompetensi untuk mengontorl warganya. Akhirnya Solo pun menjadi semakin tak kondusif.
Hingga ketika Jokowi menjadi wali kota, Solo pada 25-28 Oktober 2008 menjadi tuan rumah Euro-Asia World Heritage Cities Organization (OWHC). Jokowi melakukan lobi selama kurang lebih dua tahun untuk meyakinkan OWHC agar mau menggelar even internasional itu di Solo.
Jokowi dengan warga kota juga ambil peran ikut dalam parade. Petugas dari Departemen Politik Kedubes AS pun ikut hadir di acara itu.
Kesuksesan acara itu ternyata menjadi catatan sendiri bagi AS. Tertulis dalam kawat diplomatik bahwa untuk ukuran kota dengan reputasi sebagai pusat ekstrimis, situasi Solo tetap tenang dan even terselenggara tanpa hambatan.
Untuk menggambarkan betapa amannya Solo setelah dipimpin Jokowi, petugas dari Departemen Politik Kedubes AS menulis pembicaraan santainya dengan sang wali kota yang juga dihadiri Menteri Luar Negeri RI, Hassan Wirajuda. Pembicaraan santai itu dilakukan di sebuah pusat jajan terbuka di pusat Solo yang tengah ramai.
Lokasi jajanan terbuka itu merupakan terobosan Jokowi dalam memperbarui wajah Solo. Disebutkan bahwa Hassan Wirajuda terlihat santai dengan mengenakan celana blue jeans tanpa terlihat adanya pengawalan khusus.
Jokowi ternyata juga mendekati para pemimpin kelompok radikal. Solo kebetulan tak jauh dari Pondek Pesantren Ngruki pimpinan Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir di Sukoharjo.
Pendekatan Jokowi kepada para pimpinan kelompok radikal sampai pada sebuah pakta bahwa mereka akan berhenti meneror warga dan menakut-nakuti wisatawan sehingga solo bisa direvitalisasi. “Ini hanya soal bagaimana mendekati mereka dan membangun kepercayaan,” kata Jokowi sebagaimana tertera dalam laporan Kedubes AS ke sejumlah perwakilan AS di Asia Pacific.
Dalam sebuah kawat diplomatik AS lainnya juga tertulis tentang kejengahan Jokowi karena Solo dianggap sebagai pusat ekstrimis karena sosok Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. "Saya tak ingon Solo didefinisikan oleh Ba'asyir," tegasnya. "Hanya dua atau tiga persen dari populasi yang bisa didefinisikan sebagai garis keras, sisanya moderat," kata Jokowi seperti dikutip petugas politik Kedubes AS.(ara/jpnn)

dokumen 2008
Spoiler for :
1. (C) SUMMARY: Solo, Central Java, for years an economic
backwater and hub of radicals, is reclaiming its place as an
important, vibrant Indonesian city. In an example of good
governance at the local level, an entrepreneurial new mayor
has worked to help curb militant Islam while promoting Solo's
cultural heritage and investment possibilities. In a recent
coming out party, Solo hosted hundreds of dignitaries for a
world heritage conference. There are still some militants in
Solo--including at the infamous Ngruki pesantren which was
founded by extremist leader Abu Bakar Bashir--but the GOI now
seems to have the situation under control. END SUMMARY.
A BIG EVENT IN SOLO
2. (U) Solo hosted the Euro-Asia World Heritage Cities
Organization (OWHC) conference, October 25-28. The event
brought hundreds of dignitaries from all over the world to
Solo, a major city with a million people, to participate in
the festivities. Over 700,000 residents of the city turned
out for a large parade in honor of the conference on October
26. DepPol/C attended the conference for Mission.
3. (C) For a city that has had a reputation as an extremist
hub, the situation in Solo was calm and the event went
forward without a hitch. "See how safe Solo is?" the low-key
mayor, Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, emphasized to DepPol/C while
chatting in a bustling outdoor foodcourt in downtown Solo, a
project which is part of his efforts to refurbish the city.
Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda sat to his other side,
wearing blue jeans and with no security in sight.
FORMERLY A HUB FOR EXTREMISTS
4. (C)When Mayor Widodo took office in 2005, Islamic
Defenders Front (FPI) thugs and their cohorts regularly
extorted tourist hotels by threatening "to sweep" westerners
from the city. Tourist hotels closed in the historic city
center. At that time, a corrupt and incompetent mayor did
nothing to control the vigilantes, running Solo deeper and
deeper into disrepair. Former "students" at the infamous
Ngruki pesantren (Islamic boarding school)--located on Solo's
outskirts and headed by Jemaah Islamiyah spiritual leader Abu
Bakar Bashir--were linked to terrorist attacks, further
frightening away tourists.
5. (C) To improve the situation, Mayor Widodo worked with
police and the central government in order to provide
improved security for the area's residents. Progress was
incremental, but the situation has improved and extremists
are no longer ruling the streets. In addition, he started a
dialogue with radical leaders, arriving at a pact that they
would stop terrorizing citizens and scaring away tourists so
that Solo could be revitalized. "It is just a matter of
reaching out to them and building trust," said Widodo, age
47. In the meantime, the Ngruki pesantren continues to
operate and to be involved in extremist politics. That said,
activities there are closely monitored by GOI security
forces.
6. (C) Founded in 1745, Solo has had a chequered history. In
recent times, Solo's court remained loyal to the Dutch during
the Indonesian Revolution while rival Yogyakarta became the
seat of the rebels who emerged victorious. Due to this,
Yogyakarta was rewarded, becoming its own special district,
while the GOI effectively punished Solo, which was absorbed
into the larger province of Central Java. Yogyakarta's
sultanate was also officially recognized while Solo's lost
that status. In the 1960s, Solo was a stronghold of leftists
and became a center of anti-communist bloodletting. Muslim
groups then began to gain strength in the area,
culminating--as noted--in the activities of extremists in the
early 2000's.

SOLO AS A CENTER OF CULTURE
7. (C) As part of his reform effort, Mayor Widodo also put
in place Solo's first modern city development plan on the
theme of "Solo's Future is Solo's Past." He is preserving
and revitalizing the city's ancient city center while pushing
new development to the suburbs. Tourism is up as two new
major hotels were opened this year with occupancy rates now
at 90 percent, and seven more slated to open next year.
DepPol/C discussed with Widodo ideas for strengthening ties
with the U.S.
8. (C) Widodo also decided that Solo would be Indonesia's
"city of performing arts." A successful furniture exporter
for 19 years before being elected, Widodo also took stock of
his inventory: 440 performing arts schools for music, dance
and theater--outshining even its more glamorous neighbor,
Yogyakarta. Moreover, Solo is famed for traditional batik,
puppets and other local handicrafts, not to mention ancient
palaces, nearby temples, quaint alleyways, and broad
tree-lined avenues. Widodo worked to publicize this and
stimulate further cultural activity. He has plans to build
both a convention center and has set aside land to build what
he hopes will be a world class opera house.
9. (U) He lobbied the OWHC for two years to convince it to
hold the 2008 Euro-Asian event in Solo. A major undertaking,
it went off flawlessly, with four days of non-stop exhibits
and workshops promoting Solo's cultural heritage. Widodo
subcontracted out most of the work to the city's most
talented professionals to ensure a quality product.
A REVIVED CITY
10. (C) At this point, Solo finally appears to be turning a
corner. In a city once virtually moribund because of bad
leadership and radical hooliganism, Solo is an example of how
an elected local leader can quickly institute reform under
democracy and Indonesia's new decentralized system.
11. (C) Solo is also a symbol of just how far Indonesia has
come in the effort to fight terrorism and extremism. There
are still some extremists in Solo's region, but there number
is quite small and they seem increasingly marginalized.
(Note: The situation in Solo is due to be tested in the
near-term if the GOI executes the Bali bombers. Sympathizers
of the terrorists reside at the Ngruki pesantren and they
presumably could plan rallies, etc. The GOI says it has the
situation under control, however.) http://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cable...RTA2028_a.html
