indonesia gives foreign troops exit deadline

Indonesia's Vice-President Jusuf Kalla says foreign troops helping with aid relief efforts in Indonesia's tsunami stricken Aceh province should leave by the end of March. "Three months are enough. The sooner [they leave] the better," Mr Kalla said.

Nice work Mr Kalla, I can appreciate not wanting to have GW’s ‘help’ but unarmed Australian troops handing out fresh drinking water to locals, HELLO!

Does ‘foreign’ include Indonesian troops? Will they leave or do you plan to seal off Aceh to outsiders (again) while you resume your major military offensive to crush separatists locked in a long-running independence struggle? I THINK NOT.
