Conflicts


Following religious conflicts in the neighbouring Poso Regency, the Indonesia government mounted Operation Tinombala in early 2016 to combat local terrorist activities carried out by the East Indonesia Mujahiddin (Mujahiddin Indonesian Timur, or MIT) in the province.[5] In late November 2020, there were indications that the conflict had spread into Sigi Regency when four residents of remote Lembantongoa village were killed in an apparent terrorist attack attributed to MIT.[6] Indonesia's senior Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Minister Mahfud MD issued a statement saying that the government was committed to tracking down those responsible for the murders and the accompanying destruction.
