"We have been taking intensive steps both from the security aspect and reconciliatory measures," Widodo said at a working meeting with the House of Representatives Commission I which deals with defence and security affairs among other things. According to Widodo, clear ideas from all parties were needed to bring the situation in Maluku back to normal. He said although the tensions had abated, reconciliatory measures must be continued to prevent flareups which could damage public facilities now under rehabilitation. Widodo noted the sectarian conflicts in Maluku had cost thousands of lives and triggered high emotion leading to mutual revenge between the conflicting camps. <T.RU1/FN01/22:36/IAJM-00:15/fn01/11/02/0:24/TB04> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 16 Feb 2000 jam 05:12:19 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
