Mr. Hanley

We have received reports from the British embassy in Jakarta and other sources about the recent clashes between Dayak and Madurese communities in West Kalimantan, but we do not have full details of the incidents or of the number of casualties sustained. We have received a number of expressions of concern about these events. We are monitoring the situation.
