Extension of martial law<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
The government has decided to extend martial law in Nanggroe
\nAceh Darussalam for another six months. At this moment the
\nIndonesian government and the Indonesian people have only one
\ngoal, namely to restore order in the province as soon as possible
\nwithout any political calculations that have links with the
\nupcoming 2004 general election. Ideally, the Acehnese will be
\nable to take part in this election freely and peacefully.<\/p>\n
The second phase of martial law has earned support from many
\nparties as it brings with it an intensification in the economic
\nrestoration operation, following the return to normal of overland
\ntransportation. The Aceh administration has also resumed its
\nfunction.<\/p>\n
Aceh must be saved from the separatist Free Aceh Movement as
\nthis concerns the authority of the state, territorial integrity
\nand the safety of the Acehnese.<\/p>\n
