Dipicu oleh keributan antara pemuda di malam Natal yang bertepatan dengan bulan Ramadan. Ketegangan ini meluas menjadi bentrokan fisik di ibu kota Poso.

Located in the Central Sulawesi province of Indonesia, Poso is a city that has been plagued by violence and tragedy for decades. Once a thriving and peaceful city, Poso has been marred by conflicts, terrorism, and natural disasters, leaving its residents to struggle for a normal lifestyle and entertainment.

The "no sensor" aspect of Poso is most evident in the brutality of the methods used. The conflict saw the emergence of specialized militias and the normalization of terror. The victims of the Sintuwu Maroso market bombing or the attacks on villages like Betalemba faced horrors that defy easy description.

Living without one or more senses can be a challenging and isolating experience. For individuals who are born with or acquire a sensory impairment, everyday life can be significantly impacted. In this blog post, we'll explore the tragic reality of living without a sense, with a focus on the effects it has on lifestyle and entertainment.

Konflik ini meninggalkan luka mendalam bagi masyarakat Poso:

The international community has a critical role to play in supporting the people of Poso and promoting accountability for human rights abuses. The media, in particular, has a responsibility to shed light on the untold stories of Poso, to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles of the community, and to push for action.

In 1999, the conflict intensified with the arrival of extremist groups, including the Laskar Jihad, a militant Islamist organization. These groups fueled the tensions, and the violence became more organized and brutal. The conflict took on a sectarian character, with Muslims and Christians attacking each other's homes, churches, and mosques.
