Foreign troops told to leave Aceh


JAKARTA, Jan 12: Foreign troops helping with aid relief efforts in Indonesia's tsunami-stricken Aceh province should leave by the end of March, Vice President Jusuf Kalla said on Wednesday.

Forces from Australia, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, China, Spain, Pakistan, Japan and Switzerland have scrambled to help with relief efforts in Aceh, on the northern tip of Sumatra island, following the Dec 26 disaster.

"Three months are enough. The sooner (they leave) the better," said Kalla. -Reuters
