Preventing disintegration<\/p>\n
As we know, communities in many regions of Indonesia are prone
\nto conflicts, Indonesia being a hugely diverse nation. That is
\nwhy the process of nation building in this country is a process
\nin which there is no journey's end. Our conclusion is that there
\nis no other choice but to put the problem of separatism in this
\ncountry high on the government's list of priorities.<\/p>\n
To prevent the disintegration of the nation, a formula has
\nbeen agreed upon which gives Aceh and Irian Jaya the status of
\nspecial autonomy. Other regions will also be granted broad
\nautonomy, a true autonomy that ensures them a fair share of their
\ninternal revenues as well as the right to look after their own
\ninternal affairs in a genuine manner.<\/p>\n
The preparations for this have been made and have in part
\nalready begun to be implemented. This may sound easy on paper. In
\npractice, however, a steady commitment is needed. The Cabinet
\nminister in charge of regional autonomy will thus naturally
\ndetermine to what degree that commitment is kept.<\/p>\n
