The government military chief of Indonesia's insurgency-hit Aceh province was replaced yesterday after leading a huge operation that has so far failed to capture any senior rebels.
Major General Bambang Darmono transferred his post to Brigadier General George Toisutta in a ceremony led by Indonesian armed forces chief Endriartono Sutarto in the North Aceh town of Lhokesumawe yesterday morning, the military said.
Darmono, who will now become Sutarto's assistant, told reporters after the ceremony that he was disappointed by his failure to seize any key figures in the rebel Free Aceh Movement (GAM) since arriving in the province on April 19.
