U.S. Ambassador Robert S. Gelbard said his government expected that the conflicts, which have claimed thousands of lives, would be settled soon and those responsible for inciting the riots would be brought to justice. "We're oncerned about the number of people, both from Muslim and Christian groups, killed in the clashes," Gelbard said after meeting with Vice President Megawati Soekarnoputri. Gelbard added that his government was preparing humanitarian aid to ease the burden on the displaced people, who are also victims of the clashes. "Economical aid for the humanitarian mission will soon be realized, not only for Maluku but also Poso (in Central Sulawesi), which has similar conflicts," he told Antara. Earlier, Minister of Foreign Affairs Alwi Shihab said Indonesia welcomed any aid from foreign countries for the troubled areas, but signaled that the government insisted in seeking a solution to the conflicts without foreign intervention. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 19 Jul 2000 jam 05:18:13 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
