Indonesia warns its nationals: stay away from Libya
2015-03-18
[Libya Herald] The Indonesian government has become the latest to warn its nationals to avoid travel to Libya because of deteriorating security.

The Indonesian foreign ministry has encouraged Indonesians to contact the embassy in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
and to prepare for evacuation. It has said that they should be aware of their surrounding at all times and stay abreast of all developments.

Though it is not known how many Indonesians are working in Libya, it is not thought the number is large.

* TOPIX > [UPI] US NAVY COMMANDER SUGGESTS ASEAN PATROLS FOR SOUTH CHINA SEA | [Bloomberg] US NAVY URGES JOINT SE ASIA PATROLS OF [for] SOUTH CHINA SEA.

USN 7th FLT Chief = El Supremo Navales = VADM. Robert Thomas.

Again, iff the EU can have its own army independent of US-led NATO, why not similar for EU-wannabe ASEAN???

Gonna prove difficult to prevent given that Malaysia is just across the border from Thailand per se, and Muslim-populated Southern Thailand in particular.

#1  I would have thought this was a no brainer, but then we're talking about the country where Obama received his primary education.
