Indonesia fires spark anger against government

Hundreds of fires in Indonesia’s forests and peatland are leading to growing frustration in the country.

Last year, millions of people in Southeast Asia were affected by smoke from tens of thousands of fires in Indonesia.

The government promised strict measures to deal with the problem, but environmentalists say it has not kept its word.
