Govt. to send more troops to Poso

JAKARTA (JP): The government will deploy another battalion of soldiers to Central Sulawesi in order to help maintain peace in conflict-ravaged province.

Central Sulawesi military Chief Col. Suwahyuhadji, said on Wednesday the government decided to send additional soldiers to speed up recovery process of peace and security in Poso.

Deadly communal violence occured in the area three years ago.

The battalion (of about 800 soldiers), Suswahyudi said, would began its duties in Poso early in 2003. He did not elaborate.

The number of sectarian clashes in Poso have declined in recent months following the signing of a government-sponsored peace more than a year ago by leaders of Muslim-Christian factions.
