The 1998 Poso tragedy refers to the first phase of a series of communal conflicts in Poso, Central Sulawesi, which erupted on December 25, 1998

Peace was finally brokered in December 2001 through the Malino Declaration. Mediated by the Indonesian government, leaders from both Christian and Muslim communities sat down in Malino, South Sulawesi, to sign a ten-point peace agreement. This historic accord successfully reduced large-scale violence, though sporadic tensions and localized terrorism persisted for several years after. 🧠 Why We Must Remember
