		In November 2004, the South Sulawesi government was planning a judicial review of the legislation which established the new province, querying the financial assistance it is required to give during the transition period.

		The killings in West Kalimantan preceded the economic crisis that began in 1997 as well as the last general election of the Suharto era.
		In West Kalimantan, there were no serious allegations that political maneuvering at either the national or local level had prompted the violence (although there are accusations that the military did not act quickly to stop the violence once it had broken out).
		In Sulawesi and the Malukus, the conflicts have largely been between Muslims and Christians, while in Kalimantan the conflicts are between Dayaks (who may be Muslim or Christian) and the Madurese (who are Muslim), but not other ethnic groups in the region.

		Because of high run-off and sediment yield, fringing reefs are missing from significant sections of the coastline, notably from Sarmi to Napainwainrami in Cenderawasih Bay on the north coast and from the Papua-New Guinea border to the Omba river on the south coast.

		The object was discovered on Monday by Indonesian ships with sonar technology about 1,000 metres under the ocean north of Mamuju in West Sulawesi province.
		Indonesian officials will be cautious in announcing any discovery after erroneously saying the plane had been spotted in the mountains of Sulawesi on January 2 when accounts from local villagers were relayed unchecked to the highest authorities.
		Besides Sulawesi's western coast, the search covers the Toraja highlands in the centre of the island and an area south of the North Sulawesi provincial capital of Manado, where the plane was headed when it disappeared from radar screens.

	INDONESIA: Sulawesi Bombs Cloaking Corruption?
		JAKARTA, Jun 13 (IPS) - Tension remains high in Central and West Sulawesi, where greedy politicians and rogue Islamic groups -- rather than a revival of sectarian violence or international terrorism -- look to be behind the latest attacks directed against Christian targets in Tentena and Mamasa.
		First, Sulawesi's religious leaders have appealed for calm and, to their credit, tension has not exploded into open clashes between the two groups.
		On the other hand, Jemaah Islamiyah appears to be focussed on high-profile targets linked to westerners, so it is unlikely that its associates would have taken the trouble to travel to Tentena, a remote town hardly known outside Indonesia prior to the bombing and one lacking a western presence.

	WORLDTWITCH - Wallacea, Indonesia Birding Trip Report by Jon Hornbuckle -- Sulawesi, Sangihe, Flores, West Timor, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Sulawesi was a return visit for me as I had pioneered a birding trip there, with two other friends, in 1987 before there was any gen or field-guide and consequently missed most of the tricky species.
		Wallacea should be a high priority destination, as the rampant destruction of forest, especially on Sulawesi, puts it on a par with the Philippines as being amongst the most threatened regions on Earth.
		Expecting it to be a Sulawesi species, I chose not to risk a broken limb to get down to it, a decision later regretted as the call was nothing like the possible known species.
