lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Moluccas require our attention once again. After a relatively quiet period, the recent arrival of a few thousand Jihad fighters who aim to enforce the Islam religion on the Moluccan islands has led to renewed escalations of violence. The peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Christians, which lasted for years, seems to be broken for good. The brave attitude of President Wahid should not go unmentioned. Last week, he even dared criticise the position of the members of parliament. If it were up to the Indonesian President, there would be hope for a peaceful future on the Moluccas. However, the dark forces that still pervade the administrative apparatus, namely within the army, police and government, have a very destabilising effect on the situation. It still requires a great deal of effort to identify the fundamentalist elements of whatever religious grouping. I would like to make a few specific recommendations to the Indonesian Government. Firstly, there must be an all-out effort to discontinue the supply of fighters and weapons by introducing strict border control. In addition, the deployment of international peacekeeping forces deserves to be reconsidered. The stark differences of opinion within the region’s own army and police seem to sabotage Indonesia’s efforts to end conflict off its own bat. Finally, I would like to ask your attention for the victims of these conflicts, namely the ordinary citizens. In this conflict, we should not only spend time pointing the finger, we should first and foremost supply adequate aid to the refugees. A humanitarian corridor is essential in this respect. We wholeheartedly back the request to the Commission and Member States to give generously. The lack of political and economic interests in that region should not determine the level of aid. This is about relieving the real suffering that is pervading the Moluccas."@en1
