JAKARTA - The Grand Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab arrived at his residence in Petamburan, Central Jakarta at around 13:20 WIB today.

Arriving home, Rizieq immediately gave speeches in front of the crowd waiting for his return from Saudi Arabia this morning.

In front of the masses of supporters, Rizieq emphasized that he could return to Indonesia after living in Saudi Arabia for more than 3 years because of the help of Allah SWT.

"Alhamdulilah, with the help of Allah SWT, finally today we can gather again in the country. If Allah has shown that we have to go home, there is no force that can prevent it," Rizieq said at his residence, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 10.

Rizieq admitted to the masses that he really missed his supporters in Indonesia. For that, he is grateful to be reunited with his supporters in Indonesia.

"My return home is none other than the wish to regroup to Indonesia, to fight back together," he said firmly.

For information, Rizieq Shihab arrived in Indonesia after more than 3 years in Saudi Arabia. Rizieq Shihab was greeted by a crowd of pick-ups who filled the Terminal 3 area of Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

During their pick-up at Soekarno Hatta Airport, the pick-up crowd filled all sides of the arrival terminal area of the international route. They have been moving since early this morning. It was reported that there was a total traffic jam towards Soekarno-Hatta Airport this morning. Prospective passengers even reportedly had to walk about 1 kilometer because the vehicle could not move.

Meanwhile, a number of masses packed KS Tubun Street and Petamburan III Street, Central Jakarta, waiting for Rizieq to arrive. Although Rizieq was scheduled to arrive at Soekarno Hatta Airport at around 09.00 WIB, the crowd had packed Rizieq's house since 08.00 WIB.

Jalan KS Tubun is no longer accessible by vehicles. This is because many residents parked their vehicles along the road and approached Jalan Petamburan III until it was crowded.
