And of course indonesia 's transition to democracy was traumatic : the country 's very existence as a unified nation-state was called into question by the bloody separation of east timor and by waves of ethnic , religious and separatist killings that swept across aceh , kalimantan , sulawesi and maluku .

当然，印尼走向民主的过程中也历经不少创伤：东帝汶的血腥分裂，和席卷亚齐、加里曼丹、苏拉威西和马鲁古的民族、宗教和分裂杀害浪潮，使印尼政府能否作为统一的单一民族国家受到质疑。
