Successors jockey to replace Suharto

<< Indonesian President Suharto's 32-year reign is doomed and the transfer of power could be either a bloody battle in the streets or a smooth succession within the establishment, analysts in Australia said on Thursday.

''We are now witnessing the death throes of the regime,'' Gerry van Klinken of Sydney University's School of Asian Studies told Reuters.

"Whether he is prepared to step down or not, he is going."

Analysts generally believed that Indonesia's influential military will play a pivotal role in deciding a successor to Suharto as leader of the sprawling archipelago of 200 million. >>

Pray Suharto steps down, I think. Until he leaves the unrest is apt to continue.
