Aceh mily chief asks public to maintain peace process

"The conducive security situation following the signing of the peace agreement between the government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Helsinki, Finland, on August 15, 2005 is now being enjoyed by the people," Supiadin said in the Central Aceh district town of Takengon on Wednesday.

Speaking at a meeting with Central Aceh religious and community figures, Supiadin said the favorable security conditions in Aceh had resulted in a heightening in the people`s economic activity.

"I myself enjoy the benefit of the peaceful conditions as now I don`t need to use air transportation to visit districts and municipalities in Aceh," he said.
