KAMI (Indonesia)

The Indonesian Students' Action Union (Indonesian: Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Indonesia), better known as KAMI, was a student organization founded and led by anti-communist university students in Indonesia. The group was formed to spearhead the suppression of the Indonesian Communist Party, and the left-wing in general, following an abortive coup d'état attempt in 1965. Its core mainly consisted of Islamic, Catholic, and former Socialist Party youth groups. Supported by the Indonesian National Armed Forces, KAMI staged political demonstrations opposing President Sukarno, thereby strengthening the position of general Suharto following the coup attempt.
