We went around the neighbourhoods of Batumeja, Soa Ema, Diponegoro and up to the village of Kayu Putih. The streets are empty but for people going to or coming from church. At some places little groups of young people stand leisuredly at the side of the road. Soldiers are patrolling near the Silo Church site near the Pohon Pule bridge. However, own sources tells us that this morning muslims attacked and burned the village of Wailete. Wailete lies on the opposite shore of the bay of Ambon. Christians who travel between Ambon town and Laha airport, usually go by speedboat from Gudang Arang (Ambon) to Wailete; from Wailete by car to Laha (and the other way round). Now the only alternative way left for christians who want to go to the airport, is disembarking at the village of Tawiri, close to Laha. Christians of Batugantung (Ambon) have heavily barricaded the entrance to their quarters.
