There were no ongoing armed conflicts in Indonesia in 2007, although religious and separatist movements continue to exist and localised violence occurs.
In Aceh, the implementation of the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding was reported to have continued successfully in 2006, resulting in the passing of a bill granting the Aceh province considerable autonomy. Elections in December were well attended, resulting in a 38% victory by the former leader of an armed group, Irwandi Yusuf. Violent clashes between the government and the Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM, the Free Aceh Movement in Aceh, northern Sumatra) were said to be minimal.
In the Papua region, on 12 December 2006, after a series of brief clashes, the Indonesian military demanded the surrender of the Free Papua Movement. In anticipation of increased fighting and an influx of troops, Mulia more or less shut down. Earlier, minor clashes between rival groups and sporadic low-intensity fighting between government forces and rebels had reportedly continued in 2004 but fewer than 50 deaths can be attributed to the conflict since 2002. Plans to divide the province and Indonesian reluctance to enforce special autonomy for the Papua regions prolonged political tensions, however.
In the Molucca (Maluku) Islands, there were no reports of conflict-related casualties during 2006. This, combined with relative stability and low casualty figures in 2005 (less than 25) means that this armed conflict is now considered to have ended.
