This FOI release comprises internal Department of Home Affairs communications from late 2013 relating to Operation Sovereign Borders, Australia's maritime border protection operation. The documents include intelligence reporting from Australian embassy staff in Jakarta regarding migrant cohorts seeking assistance in Indonesia. The first document contains analysis of Somali and Sudanese asylum seekers in International Organization for Migration (IOM) care, detailing push factors (civil conflict, Al-Shabab recruitment, unemployment, Darfur conflict) and pull factors (security, education, health services) driving migration. It notes high awareness among these populations of Australian offshore processing policies, with information sourced primarily through internet, social media, and family networks in Australia. The second document references Rohingya cohort reporting from Indonesia dated 18 November 2013, noting very high awareness levels of Australian government messaging among the Rohingya community. The communications indicate these reports were circulated among Operation Sovereign Borders
