As the details of the string of fatal attacks on Jakarta began to emerge on Thursday, Indonesians responded with a message of defiance, using the hashtag #KamiTidakTakut, which can be translated as: “We are not afraid”.

The hashtag #JakartaBerani, “Jakarta is brave”, was also circulating on social media in response to the attacks, which have left at least six people dead.
