Indonesia expels Christian aid groups: [World News]: JAKARTA, March 17 : The Indonesian government has asked Christian relief agencies to leave the tsunami-devastated predominantly Muslim Aceh region, the Washington Times reports. Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono said March 26 had been set as the deadline for withdrawal several weeks ago, at which time the focus would shift from relief to reconstruction. "Aceh is mostly Muslim, and some church groups from Australia and the United States are too eager to be there and do their part," he told the newspaper."Some of them are not clear about their mandates. " Bruce Campbell-Janz of the Christian Reformed World Relief program said he had heard reports of some Christian agencies setting up large banners with Christian references, something he said would be considered disrespectful. Meanwhile, Catholic Relief Services, part of the private relief effort that plays a large reconstruction role in the region, said it had not been asked to leave Aceh. "It's quite possible they just want to pull everyone out and have an orderly re-entry, so they pick and choose who can come back in," said CRS spokeswoman Cecile Sorra. - -- Copyright 2005 by United Press International.
