CRISIS CENTRE DIOCESE OF AMBOINA Jalan Pattimura 32 Ambon 97124 - Indonesia Tel 0062 (0)911 342195 Fax 0062 (0)911 355337 E-mail: compro@ambon.wasantara.net.id Ambon, October 5, 2000 THE SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS Report no. 70 It is almost a week since we sent our last report. The reason is that the situation apart from some incidental bombing has been fairly conducive lately. However, everybody is on his/her alert, for intermezzos like this happened before. Since our telephone connection is very slow, we seldom consult web-sites on the conflict in the Moluccas. Anyway, here are some of them:   http://www.infomaluku.net http://www.angelfire.com/rock/hotburrito/index.html http://webstep.community.everyone.net/commun_v3/scripts/directory.pl http://www.go.to/ambon_menangis http://www.oocities.org/alifuru67 http://www.egroups.com/group/masariku http://www.laskarjihad.or.id http://www.egroups.com/subscribe/laskarjihad If there are among our subscribers who happen to know other websites on the conflict in the Moluccas we would appreciate to learn about it. The Crisis Centre is most grateful for any funds or financial support. We acknowledge and report on each transfer. Since both of our treasurers are not in Ambon until the beginning of next November, the acknowledging of receiving funds may experience some delay.   Any donations can be transferred to: Bank BCA, Cabang Ambon Number of account: 0 4 4 0 3 8 7 1 4 4 Name of account holder: CRISIS CENTRE KEUSKUPAN AMBOINA, Albertus Jamlean & Cornelia J.J. Moens. Various groups and factions have drawn up an evaluation of the result of the Civil Emergency State during these three months. At least on the christian side this evaluation turns out to be very negative. There is disappointment in the following matters:   The reporting by the Responsible of the CES to the government in Jakarta is not always according to the facts, so that the Central CES in Jakarta often takes inappropriate measures, causing escalation of the conflict and adding to the suffering of the Moluccans. This is a statement by the TAPAK (Team Advokasi Penyelesaian Kasus Ambon = Advocation Team to end the Conflict in Ambon), coordinated by a Nus Ukru. On October 4, the Governor, in a meeting with the mass media, expressed his dismay on this statement and will summon the TAPAK coordinator to account for it. The Responsible of the CES (the governor) is not consistent in carrying out his decisions. See our URGENT APPEAL from September 29, 2000 (Report 68): The effect of the State of Civil Emergency. There is not enough cooperation and coordination between the security forces, specifically between the army and police forces chief commanders. Safety at sea in the bay of Ambon and in the straits between Ambon and the other Lease Islands is not enough attention being paid to by the navy. Legal processes are handled very poorly. The members of the provincial Legislative Council seem to be more inclined to argue in the context of their own religious adherence than for common well-being. The chairman of the diocesan Crisis Centre, Fr. Agus Ulahaiyanan, recently returned to Ambon and can be contacted via phone number 0062 0911 314938. Mgr. P.C. Mandagi and Mgr. Jos Tethool will be absent until the beginning of November.
