The violence continued for several days, with reports of beheadings, burnings, and other forms of brutality. The Indonesian military and police were criticized for their slow response to the crisis, and their efforts to restore order were hindered by the lack of resources and infrastructure.

Estimates suggest that over 500 people were killed in the span of a few weeks.

For verified historical documentation and research on this event, you can consult reports from Human Rights Watch International Crisis Group of the Dayak people or the transmigration policies of that era?

The conflict began in 2001, when a Madurese man accidentally killed a Dayak woman in a fight. This incident sparked a wave of violence against the Madurese community, who were perceived as outsiders by the Dayak people.

: Tensions were exacerbated by perceived cultural differences. Dayaks often viewed Madurese as "exclusive" or "untrustworthy," while Madurese sometimes struggled to adapt to local customs, such as the philosophy of "dimana bumi dipijak disitu langit dijunjung" (where you stand is the law you follow).
