Is peace truly possible? The people of Sulawesi will find soon out....
As some of you are aware, there has been ongoing outbreaks of violence between Muslims and Christians in my once-home of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Much of the violence is known by those who are close to the situation to be deliberately provoked by para-military jihad groups seeking to destabilize the region. In fact, there has been evidence that Al-Qaeda personell have been involved in training and supporting some of these militants. ( http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapc...eda/index.html )
__________________In the last few weeks, it seemed almost certain that a new wave of violence was about to happen. Thousands of refugees, most of them victims of violence against Christian villages, had been forced to the region of Tentena and were without any protection against well-armed militants. However, to everyone's surprise, it appears that the Indonesian government is actually going to do something about it this time, rather than look the other way as is their normal reaction. Quote:

This is hopeful, as long as the government/police can be trusted. We'll see.
