| GAM ready to go to Geneva... |
| 2002-12-03 |
| The leader of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Sweden, Dr. Zaini Abdullah, said that he was ready to attend the peace talks with the Indonesian delegation in Geneva on Dec. 9 if certain conditions were met, Antara reported. Zaini said on Monday evening that differences between the parties of the Aceh conflict needed to be eliminated from certain clauses of the proposed peace accord before peace talks open. "We have been waiting for a response from the Indonesian government on a number of clauses in the proposed peace accord, which are unacceptable to us," he said in Stockholm. He said GAM delegation might attend the meeting but refuse to sign the peace accord, or GAM might not come to the Geneva meeting. "We are still mulling this problem and awaiting a response from the government," said Zaini, who is second in command of GAM's leadership after Hasan Tiro. Well, make up your damned mind! |
