Sultan H. Djafar Yunus Syah of Tidore

























Actually the family of the last ruling Sultan of this N-Moluccan area considered the sultanate as ended. But the people had a need and asked the 5th degree descendant of the 19th century national hero Sultan Nuku to be their traditional leader. Since nearly 9 years he is functioning like that and also since some years in national parliament.Although a time of rivalry within the N-Moluccan society the harmony is restored now and people and sultans are working together in good harmony.
He is also a humble and softspeaking man, who has actually some strong basic principles of life.
