Susilo warns GAM against militarism<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Coordinating Minister for Political and Security
\nAffairs Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono expressed his deep concern over
\nthe ongoing meeting of Free Aceh Movement (GAM) figures in Aceh,
\nsaying it constituted military consolidation aimed at
\nstrengthening the separatist movement.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters after a meeting on political and
\nsecurity issues, Susilo warned that the GAM meeting was harming
\nthe peace process as GAM was continuing its attempts to
\nstrengthen its military force.<\/p>\n
"I don't mind if they (GAM) reorganize their structure. But I
\nwarn them against militarizing the people and for this to be
\nshown to the public ... I have informed the Joint Security
\nCommittee (JSC) of this and asked for it to be recorded as a
\nviolation," he said.<\/p>\n
The JSC recently cited GAM for two serious violations of the
\ncessation of hostilities agreement. It is still investigating
\nmore than 24 other serious violations committed both by GAM and
\nIndonesian security personnel. --JP<\/p>",
