Abstract

This study analyzed the public discourse on Twitter surrounding the repatriation of over a thousand Indonesian individuals who were previously associated with Islamic State and are now living in camps in Syria. Through sentiment analysis, network analysis, and text-mining, this research measured the opinions, interactions, and main topics of discussion on Twitter. The analysis revealed that most actors on Twitter have negative opinions about repatriating individuals associated with Islamic State due to security concerns about radicalization and terrorism. Network analysis showed that both government and non-governmental accounts were influential in the debate, and text-mining identified the most common topics of discussion, which included women, children, citizenship, and repatriation. The study's results suggest that there is significant public attention and concern surrounding the repatriation of these individuals, and policymakers must consider the security implications and humanitarian concerns involved in making such a decision.
