🇮🇩 Thousands of Indonesians have taken to the streets to protest against President Prabowo Subianto’s government, as the country faces devastating forest fires, growing allegations of corruption and economic hardship. With nearly 2 million hectares reportedly destroyed, the fires have devastated forests, threatened wildlife and sent toxic haze across Southeast Asia. Some fires have been deliberately started to clear land for agriculture and plantations, including palm oil production. Protesters have also drawn inspiration from The Hunger Games, raising the film’s iconic three-finger salute and displaying signs calling for resistance and accountability. Among their messages is a stark warning: “If we burn, you burn with us.” As communities struggle to breathe and forests continue to disappear, demonstrators are demanding answers and urgent government action.
