Conflict in Tarakan displaces 32,000 people The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, 09/29/2010 8:53 PM | Archipelago About 32,000 have been displaced by days of ethnic conflict in the Eask Kalimantan city of Tarakan. The refugees are being sheltered at police and military facilities as well as school buildings across the city, a security officer said on Wednesday. One of the displaced people, Rini, said she and her family sought shelter at the Tarakan police headquarters for safety reasons. "We feel secure here rather than staying at home," she said as quoted by kompas.com. Earlier in the day, Mayor Udin Hianggio visited the displaced people in a number of refugee centers to appease them. "Please be patient. I, the police chief, security authorities and the governor will solve the problem as soon as possible so that peace and order can be restored," he told the refugees. At least three people have been killed in the clashes between indigenous Dayak ethnic group and Bugis migrants, which erupted on Sunday night Related News >> a..
