Ironwood, We live in Manado............... This off the BBC: Police reported no new clashes since early Sunday. Top Security Minister Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Monday the government would send some 2,600 extra troops and police to end the violence and search for weapons and for "any individual or organisation who is not supposed to be in Poso" Yudhoyono also said he would visit the area Tuesday. Provincial officials said the visit had been rescheduled for Wednesday but gave no explanation. Tumbelaka said peace returned to the region after the flare-up which began in May 2000 but the arrival of elements from outside the province had sparked renewed violence. "I will not name them since I have never seen them myself, but monitoring of radio communications between the warring groups has shown the use of the Javanese language and codenames using names of mountains in Java such as the Semeru," Tumbelaka said. Michael Elmquist, deputy United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator, said last week that possibly up to 7,000 members of Laskar Jihad had moved to Poso. "We call on the authority to halt the violence in Central Sulawesi, to return peace and also expel these foreigners from the province," Tumbelaka said. In the most recent violence Muslim groups attacked Sepe village near Tentena on Saturday evening, wounding at least four soldiers.

Maybe he'll have another dinner with them and engage in their rituals just to show he is for everyone which is to say no one.
