Sampit riot with hundreds of victims of the soul was only started from the fights of vocational students in Baamang. The fighting involved Dayak and Madurese children.
It was the student fights, which sparked family, inter-ethnic, and mass slaughter until the expulsion of tens of thousands of Madurese. Son polah, father kepradah. The Javanese proverb which means the child does, the parents get involved this happens on the Matayo family. Residents from Madura who have long lived in Baamang, Sampit, this does not accept his son fighting with Dayak children. However, Matayo's involvement in his son's fight actually triggered the wrath of Dayak residents. Then, calculations are made.
Early Sunday at around 3:00 (February 18) a group of Dayak youth attacked and killed Matayo. Three members of his family were killed. That's the Madurese version. The Dayak version is somewhat different. They say, the execution of Matayo and his family occurred because the concerned often committed a crime. Local residents were annoyed because often harmed. Just four hours, Dayak's execution of Matayo is spreading.
The Madurese can not accept. A number of these migrant residents then menyatroni Chairman of the Dayak Community Consultative Society, Seruyan Tengah, to take revenge. Complete with various weapons, this Madurese asks Iniel to hand over Matayo's killer who is hiding in his house. They threatened to burn if the perpetrators were not handed over.
fire, 39 people inside the house Iniel did not come out. The Madurese are getting impatient. They throw everything to the fence and the glass of the house. In fact, some are trying to burn the house. Heard the fuss, the police came, and secured 39 people in the house Iniel. Some did claim to kill Matayo. But, Madurese are not satisfied and direct their anger to other Dayak people. Some Dayak houses were burned. The tragic fate of Jihan or Seyan, a retired army officer. Seyan along with the seven children and grandchildren who reportedly still relatives Iniel burned alive in his house. From that day, Madurese took over Sampit. By brandishing weapons, dozens of Madurese march around the city. They use a variety of vehicles, from two wheels to four wheels. They not only march. Every time meet Dayak people, they chase and kill him. At least ten houses were burned.
Seven people were killed when Madurese took control of Sampit. In fact, a seven-month-old pregnant mother was killed by tearing her stomach. "That's a fact," said Bambang Sakti, a young Dayak leader from the Samba River. The situation that made Sampit Sunday night tense. Total power outages. The burning of the residents' residents at Baamang Street is sporadic. Refugees began to flood the meetinghouse in front of the regent's office. But, then transferred to the regent's office.
The refugees are not only Madurese. Also Dayak and China. They thronged the refugees. This happens because they do not know exactly who controlled the streets in Sampit that night, Madurese or Dayak. In the evacuation, Madurese and Dayak even get along well. "I was refugee," said a local journalist. To confront the Dayaks in and out of Sampit, Madurese take care of at the intersection of Bajarum Village which leads the town of Kecamatan Kota Besi.
Guards also took place in Perenggean, Kuala Kuayan Sub-district, and inland villages of Downstream Mentayan. During the march, Madurese continued to shout for Dayak figures. "Where is the Panglima Burung? Where is the Dayak figure?" challenge them. Not only that, a Madurese performing speech through loudspeakers, "Sampit will be Sampang second, Sampit become Second Sampang".
They also put up banners: Welcome the Dayaks in the city of Sampang, Serambi Mecca. "The banner is what we are looking for now," said Bambang Sakti. Bambang also said he had found a number of bombs in Madurese homes. "This is not a figment," he said. At least, the Dayak forces have handed over 300 bombs found in Madurese homes. So did a few pistols. "Do not know how to follow up," he explained. Reportedly, the bombs were assembled in Java, then delivered to Sampit. However, a source from Jawa Pos said that the homemade bomb was made in Sampit. Then, it is distributed to various Madurese in the subdistrict.
They say the bombs to defend themselves if at any time attacked Dayak people. But, because of the bomb also, 112 Madurese residents in Perenggean sub-district were slaughtered in the sub-district square. This is after the Dayak residents found a bomb in the home of a Madurese.
Seeing the action of mastery of the immigrant residents, Dayak people do not stay silent. They then brought troop reinforcements from Dayak inland. Dayak citizens who arrive first perform sporadic resistance. Tuesday night (February 20), the power map begins to reverse.
The troops then infiltrated the area of Baamang and surrounding areas, the center of Madurese settlements. Although small in number, the ability to fight Dayak special forces is very tested. The proof, they are able to hit back the Madurese who concentrated in various corners of Sampit road. With immune science, they fight thousands of Madurese. In fact, they are able to face bombs that are widely used Madurese. In an open clash, a Madurese threw a bomb at the Dayak forces. But, the bombs can be caught and thrown back towards the Madurese crowd. Explode. Dozens of Madurese died instantly. Besides being immune to weapons, the inland Dayak troops are not able to be shot. They picked up bullets for baggage. Therefore, the police also keder.
Since then, Madura mentality was immediately down. The strategy adopted by Dayak people in counter-attack is quite telling. Besides entering via Baamang, about four boats full of Dayak troops do not directly close to the river mouth.
They stopped opposite the Mentaya River. Just swim to the riverside town on the outskirts of Sampit. This strategy is to avoid the supervision of the Madurese. Then, all of a sudden, they appear and attack Madurese settlements. Madura was made uproarious. The Dayak troops continue to move to Madura pockets. Like, Jalan Baamang III, Simpong or known Jalan Gatot Subroto, and S. Parman. The home of the Madurese Family Association (Ikama) Haji Marlinggi, which is quite magnificent in Jalan DI Panjaitan, was not missed by the target. Many of the Port of Sampit's ruling guards were killed. Some run. A number of burnt tricycles were scattered on the ruined yard.
Other prominent Madurese houses like Haji Satiman and Haji Ismail were also destroyed. No exception is the house of Mat Prophet known as Sampit's jagoya. In fact, the houses of Madura figures who are in Sampit, Samuda, and Palangkaraya quite luxurious. Dayak troop attacks followed by other Dayaks. They are looking for houses and residents along the city of Sampit. Hundreds of Madurese were murdered in a pathetic manner, then beheaded.
In order for an attack on the Madurese to be controlled, Dayak commandos use the Hotel Rama as the command center of the attack. In fact, in the hotel that the troops were given a potion of knowledge of immunity by the commanders. When raided, officials found several human heads. But, the characters had escaped. Now, in front of the two-story hotel was spread police line.
Being on the wind, Dayak troops then spread the attacks to various towns Kotawaringin Timur District. The first target, Samuda, the capital of the subdistrict of Mentaya Hilir Selatan, and the much-populated Parebok Madurese. Samuda and Parebok were targeted after Sampit as many Madurese live in the area. In Parebok there is also Ponpes Libasu Taqwa.
Ponpes who cared for Haji Mat Lurah is also used as a refuge for many Madurese. The Madurese in other sub-districts are not free from prey. For example, Kuala Kuayan. Hundreds of victims fell with their heads severed. Today, Dayaks practically dominate almost all areas of Central Kalimantan. Except Pangkalan Bun. The city is safe because almost no Madurese live in all sub-district towns. Residents, at that time, many who fled to the forest, both Palangkaraya, Sampit, and Samuda.
It is a lie, if the Central Kalimantan Governor Asnawi Agani says the Madurese killed 200 people, though that is information coming from the Sampit Post. This is said by a number of Madurese who joined the KRI Teluk Ende 517. In the cruise along the Mentaya River (70 km), ABK and the refugees can see dozens of corpses floating along the river, and a number of Madurese house buildings and Sampit Market / Pasar Ganal live the charred wall.
It is said that a refugee who works in sawmills, PT Sempagan Raya Sampit, Abdul Sari (30), that what appears on the river alone there are dozens that float and caught at the edge. While that drifted and drowned more than 200 ethnic Madurese. "This is new in the river, not yet scattered on the edge along Jalan Nur Nur Agung alone no less than 200 corpses," he said.
While on Jl. Sampit Pangkalan Bun, there are still many corpses lying on the side of the road. The corpses were covered only with coral wrapped in sacks. Nothing helps to be buried, we are not likely to do that. Being able to escape from the pursuit and slack Mandau Dayak just been grateful.
Abdul Sari also said, now Dayak forces no longer distinguish who will be killed. Initially attacked only Madurese, but now all immigrants, including the Javanese, and Chinese. They not only slashed their necks but also cut off into pieces.
In the eyes of ethnic Madurese, local police have lost their faith again. They (Maduranese ethnic group) admitted that in the afternoon sweeping and their weapons were confiscated by officers, and they (officers) said that everything was safe and nothing else. So the ethnic Madurese on Jl. Sampit Pangkalan Bun is calm and trusting the officers. It turns out that the night begins with the sound of kuluk, ... kuluk, ... kuluk, ... a moment later the Dayak troops appear and kill the Madurese. Nothing is left, those who surrender or run away are killed. Generally they are attacked at night, hundreds of Dayak with the sound of kuluk ..., kuluk ..., sambug-connect appear from all directions.
The next day ethnic Madurese dead patent with headless body again. Parebuk According to ethnic Madurese who joined KRI Teluk Ende, Sopian (56), a lot of dead people from the area Parebuk, Semuda. Because the Madurese who are here do not dodge but do fierce resistance. "Currently there are only women and children left," said Sopian.
Sopian who came to the refuge with a walk down the river said, he walked in secret among the forest trees are quite heavy. Apparently after 7 days in the evacuation he only saw some Madurese from Semuda. That means there are at least 500 Madurese killed by Dayak in Semuda. "If they are still alive they should not travel more than a day or two," said Sopian.
Sopian along with other refugees in the evacuation also claimed to still be shadowed by Dayak tribal forces. There is even an issue that refugee camps in the Sampit Pemda area will be invaded by Dayaks. This makes the Madurese in the evacuation to be restless, in addition they are frightened, also they have no weapons anymore.
According to Kilan, a number of Dayaks carry the bodies of Madurese with a thunderbolt around the city. Not until there, the junk that contains Madurese people just left in front of Police Sampit, Jl. Sudirman. Madura citizens resentment against police officers in Polsek Jl. Ba Amang Tengah is increasingly becoming, as expressed by Somad who went to the Polsek office. He asked for protection after being pursued by about 50 Dayak,
Somad asked to be escorted to the refugee camp. Kapolsek is not helping but just calling the Dayaks around. Somad claimed to run back, by jumping through the back door of the Polsek he finally escaped to run into the bushes. He had crawled as far as 300m before escaping from Dayak pursuit and run into the forest. From this forest he along the edge of the forest and finally to the refuge. He was grateful to meet his wife's son.
A refugee, Choiri (40), from Pasuruan said, there is a very terrible event from Belanti Tanjung Katung, Sampit. A total of 4 Parengkuan refugee trucks carried by people claiming to be officers by saying they will be taken to a refugee shelter at SMP 2, were eventually massacred. Apparently those who claimed the officers were Dayak troops, the Madurese were told to go down and be slaughtered. "If each truck contains 50 refugees there are 200 displaced persons killed," said Choiri.
Choiri said that the slaughtered were all women and children. As soon as the second pickup arrives, the men are grown, they survive not in the refugee camp because escorted by Brimob from Jakarta.
Wild Recognition of a refugee, Titin (19), native of Lumajang, who lives on Jl. Pinang 20 Sampit said her husband, a Dayak Kapuas native who is now a part of Dayak troops. She told me that her husband had told her why the Dayaks were good at fighting and the runs were fast as deer. Initially her husband was reluctant to become a Dayak troops to kill Madurese. But because faced with one of two options, so the troops or death, forced her husband chose to be a Dayak troop. At that time he was told to drink the liquid that made him become brave, then his eyebrows smeared with oil that made him see that the Madurese was a dog form and eventually had to be hunted and killed. So the Dayak people have no fear, no pity, this is according to Titin because it has been given a drink and a certain oil spread. So that they are similar to jaran kepang who is possessed, maybe they are possessed by the spirit of their ancestors and killed in accordance with the orders of warlords Dayak tribe.
Analysis
Prof. H.K.M.A Usop, former Rector of the University of Palangkaraya who is now Chairman of the Presidium of the Dayak Regional Deliberation Council of Central Kalimantan (KPLMDDKT), admits that many violations, criminal acts are detrimental to the property and life of Dayaks. Actually, every time a clash always ends peace. But, every time the Madurese also broke it. And so on. "At least 15 times the peace, but the result is always violated by Madurese," said Usop during a meeting of Dayak community leaders with the Central Kalimantan Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). In fact, when the construction of the Palangkaraya-Kasongan road occurred Dayak-Madura clashes, precisely in Bukit Batu in 1983. After the clashes subsided, peace was made between Dayak leaders and Madurese figures. There is one important point in the agreement. Namely, Madurese will voluntarily leave Central Kalimantan if they commit bloodshed against Dayaks. But, many times there is bloodshed Madurese do not leave but more and more coming to Borneo. "It's what we're looking for now," tambop Usop.
According to Dr. Thamrin Amal Tomagola, sociologist from the University of Indonesia, there are four main factors of conflict root in Kalimantan, namely;
The occurrence of Dayak marginalization process. Minimal education and at least the Dayak who can enjoy education resulted in at least Dayak citizens who sit in local government. Local government is more in the hands of migrants.
Placement of transmigrants in the interior of Borneo which resulted in the forest alliance. The forests of the Dayak people are their place of residence and life. When transmigrants are stationed in the interior of Borneo, and they are clearing forests, Dayak's life is disrupted. Since 1995 transmigrants have been stationed in the interior of Borneo, unlike previous years which always placed transmigrants on the coast. These newcomers, who are known for their hard and trouble-makers, are not like the newcomers. In addition to transmigration issues, the government has also given freedom to entrepreneurs to clear forests through logging concessions.
Dayak people lose their footing, harassment of Dayak life makes the Dayak people lose their footing. The strength of adat is reduced. Government policies eliminate / reduce their identity as indigenous peoples.
Laws that are not carried out properly result in the number of violent and criminal acts left. This omission process resulted in the weakness of the law in the eyes of the people, so the community used their own way to solve various problems, including using violence.
