REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Vice President Jusuf Kalla has expressed the hope that the communal conflict, which happened in Aceh Singkil District, Aceh Province, would be resolved in a fair manner.
"Yes, all problems involving racial intolerance should be solved properly and fairly, in accordance with the rules so that such problems do not arise again," the Vice President said here on Tuesday.
A communal conflict happened Tuesday noon in Kuta Lerangan village, Simpang Kanan sub-district, Aceh Singkil District, police said.
According to the local police, the conflict occurred when a group of people, who allegedly wanted to demolish a house being used illegally for worship, were opposed by local residents.
The Vice President said he had contacted Aceh Governor Zaini Abdullah regarding this case.
Kalla believed that the communal incident happened due to misunderstanding.
"Today, the Aceh police chief came to the scene, while the provincial military commander will follow tomorrow. Indeed, there was some misunderstanding there," Kalla stated.
The Vice President also hoped that the Aceh provincial government can seek solutions to the case.
