HONIARA, Solomon Islands (October 17, 2000 - Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation/PINA Nius Online) -As far as the Malaita Eagle Force is concerned, the two-year old ethnic war on Guadalcanal is over.
Spokesman Andrew Nori said Malaita Eagle Force bunkers and camps will be dismantled as part of the demilitarization process agreed to in the peace agreement signed in Townsville, Australia.
Malaita Eagle Force members are also expected to leave Honiara within the next few days or weeks.
(The ethnic conflict began when Guadalcanal militants tried to drive out settlers from another island, Malaita, claiming they dominated government and business and were taking over Guadalcanal land.
