[Indonesia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Market vendors in Makale district, Tana Toraja regency, South Sulawesi province, staged a peaceful protest on April 9, 2025, opposing planned evictions of dozens of vendor stalls at the local Makale market. The low-severity demonstration reflects local economic concerns over livelihoods rather than broader infrastructure disruption.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If the market evictions proceed as planned, local food distribution and retail activity in the Makale area could face temporary disruption, though this would likely remain contained to the immediate district level.

Watch points

• Monitor whether the planned market evictions proceed and if they trigger larger demonstrations or economic disruptions in the Tana Toraja region
• Track any expansion of similar vendor protection protests to other markets in South Sulawesi province
