Muslims and Christians rally for pace in the city of Ambon
Muslims and Christians have mingled freely for the first time in years in the streets of
the eastern Indonesian city of Ambon after a mass rally by Muslims to promote a
peace pact.
Residents say Muslims held a rally in support of the peace deal then paraded across
town, with Christians joining them.
Muslim leaders have been briefing people on the deal, and stressing the need for
peace to return to the Maluku islands.
Christian church leaders are also promoting the peace accord to congregations
across the islands.
