Houses built for Poso refugees
POSO, Central Sulawesi: The Poso regental government will build
100 low-cost houses in several subdistricts of Poso City. The
houses will be allocated to people currently living in several
refugee camps in the regency, said acting Regent of Poso regency,
Andi Azikin Suyuti, without elaborating further whether the
houses would be for Christian or Muslim refugees. Earlier, the
government had built some 70 houses for Muslim refugees in the
Sintuwulemba subdistrict.
Thousands of people had fled their home after sectarian
clashes broke out in Poso regency in 2000, which left some 2,000
people dead. -- JP
