After a month of preparation for SOLFest #1 on Campus Unhas, October 5 and then, finally 
SOLFEST #2 can be done again. Still with the same concept entitled "Support Campaign 
Takalar Farmers Struggle". Preparation includes the evaluation and maturation of the 
networks, fundraising, socialization, filler event, campaign materials, to the technical 
preparation program. Clung to the spirit of the original, pure terselengara this activity 
for your participation and self-help with donations and support of various parties without 
labels corporate sponsorship and donor agencies. As an independent campaign, would also 
seek SOLFest out of the political tendencies of certain parties peasant struggle.

Departure from evaluation records for Solfest campaign before, this time going over the 
maximum. Conferences / meetings intense two to three times a week continued to provide 
space for individuals who actively participate. Two days before the employment intensity 
of activity and a more solid team work takes energy, but the spirit and the spirit of my 
friends still visible in running this campaign vision.

Located on Campus STMIK Dipa Negara, 9 November 2009, exactly 3 months Takalar farmers 
shooting incident last August 9. Page campus wide, converted into the campaign area. A 
mini stage, decorated with the surrounding sugar cane crops. complete with music equipment 
as pemeriah event. In another corner, mounted the exhibition stand display tent set of 
data & information, photos of events around the Takalar, and raised the other side who had 
exposed widespread. Facts and information that would never come from the mass media.

As a campaign event, campaign material becomes important. Approximately 600 pieces of 
flyers, pins 300 pieces, 200 pieces of stickers, and other materials prepared in 1 package 
of beautiful bags and distributed free of charge. Free?Yes, in this campaign, many 
wondered, what really free?Culture of buying and selling off our imagination of a 
condition where the transaction of money exists.

On a table placed petition sheets, for anyone who wants to appreciate the support by 
including the name and signature. There is also a donation box as a form of support for 
the continuation of work Solfest campaign. From this power SOLFest campaign, departing 
from the general solidarity, and not depend on funding from the government, as well as 
donor agencies.

For other support material fitted white banners along the three-meter, the media scribbled 
messages, appreciation and support for uneg-uneg the struggle of farmers. While near the 
stairs, there Biblioholic stand and read from Solfest kitchen that serves a simple menu 
for this activity.

In addition to supporting the campaign material, previously agreed upon division / 
distribution of roles involved in the work team. Announcer, public relations, stage 
technicians, documentation, testimony in charge, Direct Dialogue team and collecting 
petitions.

One o'clock, two-hour delay from the planned schedule, the campaign opened. Amut duet of 
MC events and Achi starting Kiky vital role. They started the show by introducing Solfest, 
confirming the position and vision of this activity as a campaign event in order to build 
what we as a social movement.

Despite a few moments delay, the prime performers, duo tambour Unhas of Literature open 
this campaign with a stomping game. Right attract visitors or people passing time. People 
were beginning to gather and focus.

Aci and Kiky menggeber any subsequent viewer to enter the atmosphere in the Takalar case. 
And a Tyan with "Flower and the Wall" and "Poetry Rejecting Compliance" Tukul Wiji also 
invites the viewer to become emotionally involved to the core of the campaign. Poetry 
readings by outstanding accompaniment backsound the sweep. View centered at him, stunned, 
goose bumps and touching emotion and compassion. A mother of Takalar, who arrived in the 
entourage of a few moments before the ceremony began, melinangkan tears touched by every 
alunannya. Applaus festive end agitatif beautiful poem that.

Paper Clip into the band the next viewer. There are two numbers from the Incubus that 
stirred the atmosphere as the moment of the campaign for young people who identified with 
hedonism and kemasabodoan.

After a time, the stage performance gap. Duet MC raised Solfest a campaign to 
mengenyampingkannya as a mere event. Unrelenting spirit SOLFest called, to invite 
participation and open space.

Campaign activities continue. Stand data kept filled with visitors. Interestingly, this 
campaign does not need a guide to explain what information is listed. Visitors who stop at 
precisely the information tent to find the father and mother, Takalar citizens who came 
directly to this campaign to convey testimoninya about what happened. They readily convey 
the answers to every visitor who asks. Tells about the events related in Takalar.

In the next stage, a few meters to the left, some people act in the arena Shout on Target. 
There are pictures posted police and officials, on it the words "Know your enemy". These 
games really to enliven kampanye. Siapapun free throw bullets at the picture on the board.

Campaign material packages in a beautiful bag is also distributed as open appreciation of 
solidarity by collecting signatures on petitions. In particular for direct dialogue team, 
very active around collecting signatures. Appreciation banner filled with graffiti are 
also continuing with his various comments. Although the weather is very hot and sunny day, 
walking up to the campaign activity each of which carrying out its role.

Precisely at 3 pm, the top campaign until the session testimony / witness Takalar 
citizens. Eight people were present when it tells of their long struggle and provide 
information directly related things never published, in which their rights taken away and 
their lives long conflict terkecekam by farmers against the state corporation PTPN XIV. A 
mother tells her experiences in prison on charges of criminal damage occurred on land that 
Pakkawa shooting incident in 2008. Peasant struggle has not ended today, there is no hope 
for the widespread support, the closing statement testimonial for approximately two hours. 
Testimony ended, residents Takalar leave and return to the land of their struggle.

After the main session of citizen testimony, and as a sweetener this campaign, the stage 
is then filled by SOLfest bands tuntasnya supporters to the event promptly at six. It 
seems that this part has magnetism menggerakmajukan some visitors. Of the entire series of 
events, this is a tough challenge for the team to lift Solfest still meaningful as a 
medium of movement. Wrapped in the form of a stage is sometimes difficult to position as a 
campaign or an event just like a concert-style cigarette companies.

 From the beginning, the concept is SOLFest media campaign with the most easily accepted 
by the audience, which is among young children as a group achieved terlanjut potential, as 
well as apathy. Clearly, the concept is vulnerable to being imprisoned as a music concert 
only enjoyed by the people who really do not care what he campaigned, but more interested 
in what the show is presented.

The first step is successful: bring people. The second step is difficult, how the people 
who come to understand the information and the substance of the campaign from the 
beginning to convey.

Depart from it, SOLfest team continue to study and evaluate themselves on the 
shortcomings. This can only be done by appreciating all the criticisms and present views. 
Especially in this campaign stop rawannya as mere event, a point that since the beginning 
of thought by Team Work.

In addition to maintaining what can be transformed as SOLFest organizing media audience, 
to engage in progressive activism. This is great PR for the team and the Network Working 
SOLFest Libertarians to learn to organize themselves, build solidarity and support all 
struggles against capitalism through non-hierarchical networks, independent, and based on 
participants' self-reliance. Although not supported by funding a network giants and elite, 
SOLFest ultimately it has proved possible.

Keep the spirit friends, salam kenal make new friends. See you at the next project . . . !

1. Terkumopul petition to end the show as many as 280 people outside sebanya plus dukunngan

2. Donations collected at the end of the show as much as Rp. 191,000 (SOLFESt financial

Some Frequently Asked Questions About Case SOLFest and Takalar

Posted by Libertarian Network

What's Solfest?

Solfest is a public campaign to garner support and solidarity to the peasants seized the 
land Takalar. As we know together, land is life for farmers. Without land, there is no 
life for farmers. Seize land as well as peasant farmers killed.

Who robbed the land of farmers?

Takalar farmers deprived of land by PTPN XIV, a state-owned agribusiness company.

But, what actually happened?

In 1980, a sugar cane plantation project started. The project needs land that is occupied 
by residents since 1960. Society refused because they only depend on the land they live. 
You know, so land acquisition is carried out unilaterally by force and with promise will 
be returned after 25 years.

In a minute . . . . where the hell Polongbangkeng it?New hearing because . . . J

In Polongbangkeng Takalar, about 50 km from Makassar. Therein lies Takalar Sugar Factory, 
one of the factories are owned by PTPN XIV

Is it true that farmers deprived of land?Because I know from the newspapers and 
television, the land that was owned by the state?Not a farmer . . .

That's wrong!Farmers of their land occupied since the 1960s. Before there was the road 
built by the state, citizens have become hangers cultivate everyday life with planted 
crops, corn and others. Based on the Agrarian Law of land cultivated by the people in the 
span of 25 years in a row had the right of the people. If it is not a citizen of land, why 
is the process of land acquisition?Besides the full process of manipulation and intimidation.

I had heard about the manipulation and intimidation?Gimana mean, try to explain . . .

Imagine the socialization of this project is only in the mosque, in 1980. Socialization 
was only attended by a few people. Furthermore coercion processes also occur. Many people 
who reject the project was summoned to the office of military force. There are bound and 
then dragged. There was beaten. There was also killed, died dependent. This case was never 
investigated until now

Gosh!Is that what happened?

Yes. Tragic is not it?

How many citizens of the area occupied PTPN XIV?

Around 6500 ha. Formerly gardens and rice fields. Each plot is marked ditch, trees, fences 
and other signs. But after flattened by the company, limit or signs of soil loss.

Is there written evidence?

Until now almost all the residents still had the brown envelope, the former liberation 
compensation payments. In the document stated the land would be returned 25 years later 
(in 2005), after Hak Guna Usaha ended. But after 25 years, HGU not finished. Land never 
returned.

Why land is not returned after the HGU finished?

That's the problem. Regent Takalar just unilaterally extend. Decree of the HGU extension 
was signed without asking the consent of landowners, the farmers. This event repeats the 
first time the project begins.

The government encouraged the ambition to obtain self-sufficiency in sugar achievement. 
But with the way farmers expense.

Why do we have to give support?I do not feel connected with this event . . .

Just imagine, you lose something very valuable in your life, you are demanding be 
returned. But what you can, you actually beaten, shot at, rounded up. Then everybody said, 
"I feel nothing to do with your problem!".

But, about this Takalar farmer, you could just say there is no direct relationship. But 
you know, if every spoon of sugar in tea or coffee, or cake, cooking, and other foods that 
you eat, there is the sweat and suffering of the farmers for almost 30 years?

The farmers do the proper thing done by every human being, defending and demanding life 
back. We, who though was not associated with this, must do things properly as a human 
being. Solidarity and support those who demand their rights.

Oh . . gitu ya?So what better way?

Let's stop thinking that what other people apart from our experience. Whatever happens on 
this earth to do with us. "You can run but you can not hide". Everything we consume is the 
suffering of others who were forced to work for him. That social and economic systems that 
apply this: capitalism!

Support what is expected of us?

We do not give "instructions" what you should be doing. But at least there is some idea of 
what you do:

Begin to think and understand the world around you. Take your part, maximize your 
potential, and never say you can not anything, or the contrary, you have to do something. 
Never!
