Border ... what border?

Border ... what border?

JAYAPURA, Irian Jaya: The frequent traded accusations of
border intrusions between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are
caused largely because the people who live along the border
simply do now know where the borderline is, a provincial official
says.

The chief of the local Transportation Office Martono said
these border intrusions were largely unintended. The people are
simple not aware of the existence of the border.

Fishermen living on the coastline on both sides of the border
also often trample the invisible borderline, fishing in someone
else's territory, Martono said.

Papua New Guinea and Indonesia recently agreed on the
construction of lighthouses along the sea border to prevent
further intrusions in the future, the Antara news agency
reported. (emb)
