Tarakan riot

The Tarakan riot was an ethnic riot which occurred between September 27 and September 29, 2010 in the city of Tarakan, East Kalimantan (now part of North Kalimantan), Indonesia. The riot pitched native Tidung people against Bugis migrants.[1][2] It was triggered by the death of a Tidung elder in a scuffle with a youth gang.[3] During the ensuing riot four people were killed and thousands of civilians were displaced, before a peace agreement was made between the communities.[4]
