The Jakarta Post:
Alissa Qotrunnada Munawaroh Rahman, the eldest daughter of late president Abdurrahman “Gus Dur” Wahid, is passionate when she speaks of Jaringan GUSDURian, the network of those who admire her father’s fighting spirit in promoting pluralism.
The 42-year-old, better known as Alissa Wahid, is the national secretariat coordinator of the GUSDURian, which is based in Jakarta and has its secretariat in Yogyakarta.
“After the demise of Gus Dur in 2009, the spirit and values of his struggle live on,” Alissa says. “People with the same vision from diverse backgrounds outside the family residence in Ciganjur are giving new life and vigor to his glowing spirit. So this network was formed under the Bani Abdurrahman Wahid Foundation.”
