More than 100 former Indonesian militants will this week apologize to survivors of attacks and families of the dead as part of a plan to promote reconciliation and combat extremism, officials said on Monday February, 26. The meeting with victims is scheduled for Wednesday after two days of preparatory sessions that started on Monday. Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation and third-biggest democracy, has imprisoned hundreds of Islamic militants in the years since the Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people, mostly foreigners. The government has been trying to deradicalize militants through a program which began more than 10 years ago. A crackdown has also weakened the most dangerous networks. But fears have grown of resurgence in militancy after hundreds of Indonesians flocked to the Middle East and the Philippines in recent years to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group or its allies.
