Maluku unrest:
Euro parliament backs calls for intervention
------------------------------------------------------

The European Parliament has added its voice to calls for international
intervention to end the violence in Indonesia's Maluku islands.

Indonesia's government has so far ruled out any outside intervention, which
has been demanded by both Muslim and Christian organisations in the
Malukus.

In a resolution adopted late Thursday, the assembly called on the 15
countries of the European Union and the European Commission, the EU's
executive arm, to examine how the international community can help restore
peace in
the islands, "for example by sending international observors."

Euro MPs also issued an urgent appeal for increased EU aid to the region
and called on the Indonesian authorities to open humanitarian corridors to
allow assistance to get through to people displaced by the fighting.

More than 4,000 people have died in 18 months of Muslim-Christian clashes
on the islands.

And more than 500,000 people have fled their homes in the Malukus as a
result of the violence which began with clashes on the island of Ambon in
January 1999.
