Fachrul Razi said here Saturday. "TNI will keep on supporting the government's efforts, including the reconciliation attempt as revealed by Presiden Abdurrahman Wahid," he said. On the increasing number of casualties on the military side, Razi, a native of Aceh said "That is the risk of a job. GAM members are Indonesians, we therefore keep on trying to reach reconciliation." Meanwhile, on the number of GAM members who have surrendered and pledged loyalty to the republic, the 1970 military Academy graduate said many others still continued their movement. But the TNI will always open to them if they want to join the people, he added. On followed-up guidance for the ex-GAM members, he said it has not yet been made as it has to wait the result of a planned dialogue between the government and the GAM. During the dialogue, he said, TNI will protect GAM figures taking part in it.
