Politician Abdurrahman Wahid was born in Indonesia on September 7, 1940. He dies at the age of 69, on December 30, 2009.
The 4th President of Indonesia. His term of power lasted from 1999 until his removal from office in 2001. He formed the National Awakening Party (PKB) following great upheaval in Indonesia politics in the late 1990s before he would be elected to President by a margin of 60 votes. His time as president was full of contention and resistance to decisions such as being open to trade and relations with Israel, his reform of those in control of the military forces while questioning their accounting practices, and the chronic turn-over of the members of his cabinets due to corruption or refusal to work towards reforming the state of government in Indonesia. Many refer to his presidency as an important step towards democracy. However, in 2001, after declaring a State of Emergency and making one final gesture towards reforming the congressional bodies of their government, he was removed from power by his opposition.
