Report from Jeff Hammond - Poso and Tentena, Indonesia I’m in Jakarta as I write this, and it’s midnight Saturday night (in Tentena it’s 1.00 am Sunday morning). I have just been on the phone with Tentena. The village of Sepe, one of the last Christian strongholds has fallen and is being looted, destroyed and burned to the ground by the jihad terrorists, even as I type, and the village of Silanca is under attack. Reports from the fleeing villagers state that military units have joined in with the jihad terrorists in attacking the villages and the fleeing villagers who fled to the military barracks in Kawua are being turned away by the military even as I type this email. The next section comes from reports to the Jakarta Post. Other eyewitness accounts point to scores of dead and thousands of mainly-Christian homes destroyed at the hands of well organized, uniformed militia equipped with machine-guns, rocket launchers and even bulldozers. Father Jimmy, told The Jakarta Post by telephone from Tentena, about 40 kilometers south of Poso town, on Friday that more than 50,000 residents and refugees were in danger of fresh attacks after extremist militia bombarded the villages of Betalemba, Patiwunga, Tangkura, Sanginora and Debua over the last three days. "All houses and other buildings in Sanginora and Debua were flattened when the terrorist groups attacked the two villages on Thursday. They are nearing Tentena where around 50,000 villagers from Betalemba, Patiwunga and Tangkura are taking refuge," he said. He said the militiamen would easily capture Tentena as only a dozen security personnel were stationed in the subdistrict while a score of security personnel from the Palu Military District and the Police’s Mobile Brigade had already pulled out because of a lack of logistical supports from the Poso administration. "The civilian militias have killed many local people and burned down thousands of houses and churches in five villages located between Poso and Tentena over the last three days," the bishop told the Post here on Thursday. This news needs to be quickly brought to the attention of Presidents, Prime Ministers and the UN. The residents of Tentena have been awoken and all men are being put on guard around the city while the women and children have packed small bags to prepare to evacuate into the jungles. If these terrorists make it through to Tentena, the massacre will begin. We could be within 48 hours of the final onslaught. Urgent pressure must be put on the Indonesian Govt, or if they continue to condone this terrorism and genocide to take place, they must face the condemnation of the international community. The Human Rights Commission in Geneva needs to be given this information. Pressure on man may not be enough, nor soon enough, so we need to cry out to the Lord for His supernatural intervention.
