G'day all,
I hear Ambon has been isolated by the Indonesian authorities. No transport
or public communications in or out. Just a bunch of well-armed troops,
some very poorly armed Christian seccessionists, and lots of people whose
views on the matter just aren't going to matter. The drawn-out
angst-ridden denouement of the great Indonesian saga is at hand, I reckon.
And we're gonna hear very little about it while East Timor is kept bubbling
along. Which takes but a couple of killings here, a bit of burning there
...
Neat.
Cheers,
Rob.
