#PerangSampit #Kalimantan #IndonesiaBersatu #Dayak #Madura #NeverForget 🧵 THREAD: Perang Sampit (2001)

During the peak of the violence, many Dayak combatants used traditional spiritual rituals (including kenyah and mandau headhunting traditions) as a psychological weapon and unifying call. This highlights how identity can be weaponized when formal institutions fail.

A minor brawl in Sampit market on February 18, 2001 escalated into a citywide massacre. Within days, the violence spread. The national police were overwhelmed. In the absence of law, Dayak traditional leaders called for ngayau (ritual headhunting), which resurrected ancient warfare codes.

Over 1,000 died (estimates vary). Nearly 120,000 Madurese fled to South Kalimantan and East Java. Entire villages were erased.

Respect local wisdom, ensure equitable development, and never let the state abandon its duty to protect ALL citizens.

5/ Takeaway: Forced assimilation fails. Economic justice + cultural recognition = peace. Sampit is a warning we must never ignore.
