Stage set for "decisive" round of Aceh talks in Helsinki
HELSINKI (AFP) - Indonesian government ministers meet with leading
Aceh separatists here on Monday for a "decisive" second round of peace
talks aimed at ending a drawn-out conflict in the province that so far
has killed more than 12,000 people.

Like the first round of talks at the end of January, the negotiations
will take place at the Koeningstedt estate, outside Helsinki, and will
be mediated by former Finnish president and career diplomat Martti
Ahtisaari.

The first round of meetings proved largely unfruitful, and Ahtisaari
told AFP he felt the next round would be "decisive" in determining
whether the two sides would manage to reach common ground for further
negotiations.

"We don't know what the end result is going to be. In that sense the
next meeting will be decisive because after that we'll know if these
negotiations will lead to something or not," he said.

1. Oz government announces that terrosists intend to attack AID workers!
Our Prime Minister, involved in "Potential" scandals if the "liberal" blogger machine would "get off its arse" here in Oz , announced that "Terrorists" in Aceh have publically announced in Indonesia that they are about to resume a campaign to "kill" AID workers - not AIDS workers!!! who are rushing to PNG which has an epedimic similiar to South Africa, and is "close to Oz", but that is is a different story, so AID workers in Indonesia's Aceh province are in trouble. But the Indonesian government will supply "Kopassus" forces that know how to handle "Terrorists" just the way the "Bush Gang" and "Little Johnnie" here in Oz like.! We trained "Kopassus" forces. My Special Ops "sort of friend", whose in Iraq, through other connections, told us how "Keen" "Kopassus forces" were in "Killing" their supposed own people. By the way, were hoping for a real "Fallujah" etc report very soooooon. He did survive! Yeeeehaaa!
