	Gary Dean - Ethno-Religious Conflict in Maluku
		Maluku -- an archipelago known as the "Spice Islands" in times past -- is a province of Indonesia, comprising about 1,000 islands in the eastern part of the nation, with a population of a little over two million people.
		Between January and April of this year (2000), Maluku was relatively quiet, though still extremely tense and dangerous, due mainly to a massive military deployment and a purge of army units known to be siding with the Muslim side.
		Given what has occurred in Maluku over the past 18 months, with all the death, savagery, destruction, fear, suspicion and complete breakdown in trust, it seems that a resolution of the conflict will be extraordinarily difficult to achieve.

		In contrast to North Maluku and the southeast part of the Maluku province, shootings and bomb explosions continue on Ambon and nearby islands although attacks on Christian villages and direct armed confrontations are now rare.
		In Maluku, however, the reality is that local forces, both the military and especially the police, are highly vulnerable to "contamination", partisan alignment with their own religious community.
