The situation in Papua is increasingly tense following a mass protest against racism in Jayapura that turned violent. Jayapura is now reportedly paralyzed. This is not the first such unrest in Papua's history.

The 2018 Crime Statistics released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded the highest number of reported mass conflict incidents at the village/sub-district level in Papua, totaling 447 incidents, as reported by the local Police. This represents 8.05% of villages/sub-districts experiencing mass conflict.

This data encompasses inter-community fights, fights between civilians and security forces, fights between civilians and government officials, fights between students, and inter-tribal fights.

Meanwhile, West Papua also ranks tenth highest in Indonesia for the number of villages/sub-districts experiencing mass conflict, with 5.74% of villages/sub-districts affected.
