Tsunami

Indonesia has again been devastated by a tsunami, this time without warning.

The region has made impressive progress on rebuilding infrastructure, but the mental scars remain.

“There’s no point being bitter about a tsunami or storm. It takes an enemy to envenom human affairs.”

The Japanese Self-Defense Forces performed admirably after last year’s tsunami. Expect a more confident force to play a growing role in disaster response.

One month after the earthquake and tsunami devastated parts of the country, moods remain sombre. Rightfully so?
