Despite of confidence on easy resumption of activities after the period, restoration of activities were instead failing since citizens and members of government began their departure from Indokistani territory. Furthermore, citizens reluctance and rejection to rejoin political activities and resume work on their posts also complicate the crisis.
After weeks of stressful attempts on restoration efforts, acting president Mustafa Hakim decided to declare a state of emergency and install the Emergency Government on 23 August 2012. Mustafa later gather the remaining active members of Indokistani society, including Dicky L. K. and Lindy Lucky, to form the National Salvation Council on 26 August 2012.
