		The largely Christian inhabitants of Kao, a district on the east coast of North Halmahera, burned down sixteen villages belonging to the neighbouring (and Muslim) district of Malifut.

	Gary Dean - Ethno-Religious Conflict in Maluku
		Maluku -- an archipelago known as the "Spice Islands" in times past -- is a province of Indonesia, comprising about 1,000 islands in the eastern part of the nation, with a population of a little over two million people.
		In the case of Maluku, we must start by looking back to the beginning of the 16th century, when the islands now known as Maluku caught the attention of aggressive and expansionist Europeans seeking wealth from spices.
		Between January and April of this year (2000), Maluku was relatively quiet, though still extremely tense and dangerous, due mainly to a massive military deployment and a purge of army units known to be siding with the Muslim side.

	Introduction
		Formed in response to devastating attacks by Christian villages on neighbors in North Maluku, their superior arms and training, and logistical support from the military, escalated the conflict and reversed the relative fortunes of the protagonists, especially in Kao and Kota Ambon where Christian forces had enjoyed some territorial gains.
		North Maluku too, provides evidence that even following the peace agreements, interpersonal political rivalries and neo-patrimonial politics at the village level has frustrated reconciliation (Satriawan 2003).
		Finally, while repair of infrastructure and economic development is of prime importance in restoring everyday life in Maluku, activists stress the importance of investigation into the origins of the violence and the role of security forces as a means to restore public confidence in the government (Malik 2003).

	USINDO - Paul Michael Taylor's Brief Report (in Open Forum of Public Affairs Programs) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The violence that has erupted in the islands of the Moluccas (the Indonesian provinces of Maluku and North Maluku) since January 1999 represents a "series of unchecked escalations of many local conflicts with various causes," but it has increasingly now come to be interpreted solely in terms of a religious conflict.
		In the 1970s the entire population of Makian island was relocated to North Halmahera because it was thought the island was about to be obliterated by a volcanic eruption.
		And the immediate cause of violence in North Maluku, in August 1999, was a case of political gerrymandering: the decision to create a new district in which the hereditary people would become a minority.

	Maluku and Melanesia (b)
		However, since Maluku became involved in the Pan-Indonesian maritime trade network, the prevailing form of trade was that of exchange of wares for metal money (silver) at markets or emporiums (originally, "leaves" of silver were cut to the adequate size to meet the concrete payment to be made.
		The word for silver, which became widespread in Maluku and even in languages of the Cendrawasih Bay, are reflexes of salaka, thus testifying not only to the antiquity of Maluku involvement in the trade, but also to the antiquity of the development of the more sophisticated silver-mediated form of trade in the region.
		The involvement of Maluku in the Pan-Indonesian maritime trade network, however, occasioned a new type of development here, which was quite different from that in any part of Oceania.
