[Indonesia] Riots: Violent demonstration

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Small-scale vendor protests occurred at a district government office in Makale, Tana Toraja regency, South Sulawesi province, on April 9, 2025. Local market vendors opposed planned evictions of stalls at Makale market, leading to minor clashes with police who confiscated materials intended for burning.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The localized nature of the protest at a district-level market suggests minimal immediate impact beyond the immediate Makale area.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of vendor protests to other markets in South Sulawesi province if eviction plans proceed
• Track whether similar market displacement issues emerge in other Indonesian districts, potentially indicating broader policy tensions
