[edit] TALK ABOUT SULAWESI
- The governor of Sulawesi, Drs. Sarundayang, describes Sulawesi as a "safe" place for tourists, "the land of smiling people"; but it may not be so safe if you live there. In October, 2005, four teenage girls were attacked on their way to school by machete-wielding killers, presumably Muslims. (Muslim groups have claimed responsibility for most of the terrorist attacks in northern Sulawesi.) Three of the girls were be-headed, while one escaped with severe slashes across her face. Apparently, northern Sulawesi still has a ways to go in becoming truly safe.
[edit] People section
I just removed some vandalism from the People section of this article. I'm afraid it's a prime target for vandals because it's blank and seems always to have been so. It'd be great if someone with some interest in this topic could put something in that section. It's tempting to delete the section altogether, and perhaps I should have done so, but I'd prefer that someone put something in it. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 22:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] separatist movement?
Well, I saw we have a flag of it in the article, but couldn't find a single word mentioning it. Do we have a separate article on it (if we do, why is it not linked?) Who are they? What do they want? I'll see if Google helps any. Regardz, nepTune 13:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- There's a separatist movement during the early days of Indonesian Independence. But the movement is not united and centralized at South Sulawesi, led by Kahar Muzakkar, who is also, shockingly, along with Sukarno fought against the Dutch. But due to disagreement about what type of government will Indonesia be (Kahar was in favor with federalism), he turned against Sukarno as well as the nationalist, and led a rebellion. But the rebellion was crushed by the nationalist army. In the early days of Indonesian Independence, there were many rebellions, like Bukit Tinggi rebellion in Sumatra and other provinces as well.Pejuang bahasa 01:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
