RESIDENTS OF PONTIANAK CARRY WEAPONS OUTSIDE A MADURESE REFUGEE CAMP IN PONTIANAK.
A group of armed local residents make threatening gestures outside a Madurese refugee camp in Pontianak, West Kalimantan province, June 27, 2001. Hundreds of Madurese refugees in Indonesia's strife-torn West Kalimantan province refuse to be evacuated from their camps despite recent attacks by locals. Pontianak is ringed by refugee camps where thousands of Madurese are still sheltering after ethnic tension boiled over into bloodshed in 1999.
