ANTARA, DECEMBER 13, 1999

TEAM 24 ASKED TO MAINTAIN PEACE IN AMBON

Ambon, Dec 12 (ANTARA) - President Abdurrahman Wahid has asked Team
24 of Moslem, Christian and Catholic figures to maintain peace
in Maluku especially in Ambon following the issuance of the
provincial governor's declaration for restraint on December 7.

"I appreciate the team's work which is hand and full of risk as
the team has to meet various community members. I hope following
the declaration which came from the community, the "human tragedy"
could be stopped," the team's head, Abdullah Tuasikal, said
quoting the president, following a meeting with him Sunday
evening.

The closed-door meeting lasted about 30 minutes, attended also by
Vice President Megawati Soekarnoputri.

Tuasikal said President Abdurrahman Wahid had pledged to consider
aid for the clash victims. "I will consider the demand for
financail aid which is still to be adjusted with the budget plan,"
he said quoting the president.

President Abdurrahman Wahid has assigned several cabinet ministers
to stay along with Vice President Megawati to continue
consultations for rehabilitation and reconciliations efforts.

"The important thing is that people support the team who has
worked to stop the tragedy through various programs and to curb
emotion and hatred of the victims of the conflicting parties," the
president said.

Team 24 has urged the governor to issue the declaration for
restraints. Following the declaration, mass mobilization, sounds of
self-made bombs and firearms or shots from security forces
subsided.
