Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim democracy, is preparing to elect a new president. But in this country of 270 million inhabitants with a Sunni majority, 12% of the population belongs to a religious minority.
The different religious communities have always coexisted peacefully, but several radical Sunni groups have violently attacked minorities for around twenty years. More than 600 cases have been recorded since 2014. Truly forgotten during this electoral campaign, they had nevertheless placed a lot of hope in the promises of outgoing President Joko Widodo to pursue a tolerant and pluralist policy.
