	The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today
		The earthquake and tsunami in Aceh should be regarded, legally speaking, as force majeure, and therefore it is possible to delay the election process for the next two or three years until it is considered fit for the Acehnese people to participate in elections.
		Most of the problems in Aceh are a reflection of the fact that Aceh has been under martial law, which affects almost all aspects of social, economic and political life in the province.
		Delaying the elections in Aceh will be against the democratic rights of the Acehnese people, but holding direct elections in Aceh in the aftermath of the devastation is morally out of the question.
