Jakarta: Two people died and more than 800 villagers were forced to evacuate from their homes following a brawl involving residents of two neighbouring villages in the Buton district of Indonesia’s south-east Sulawesi province, an official said.
National police spokesperson Dedi Prasetyo said the clash started on Tuesday night after a motorcade from Sampoabalo village passed by Gunung Jaya village. The noise from the convoy celebrating the end of Ramadan angered the locals.
