[Indonesia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A peaceful protest occurred near Rendani Airport in South Manokwari district, West Papua province, Indonesia on April 5, 2025. Local residents, likely Papuans, demanded compensation for land taken during airport construction as part of an ongoing land dispute.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and limited scope, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal unless the dispute expands or disrupts airport operations.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of the land dispute that could affect Rendani Airport operations or access
• Track whether similar compensation disputes emerge at other infrastructure projects in West Papua province
