Economic inequality in Indonesia's nickel-rich North Maluku
North Maluku is a major nickel producer that is key to Indonesia's aim of becoming an EV powerhouse. But do locals get a slice from the economic boom?

Securing customary rights to forests in Maluku Province, Indonesia
Secure tenure rights are crucial for forest conservation. Since 2007 the government of Indonesia has allocated 14 million hectares of forests to community management through various schemes. However, such formal schemes do not offer full ownership rights to the forest, as do customary systems, such as that in Malaku province. As a result, forest reforms launched in 2009 have not taken hold there. Research undertaken as part of the Global Comparative Study (GCS) on Land Tenure Reform, led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), examined ways that tenure reform might combine the formal and customary system in Malaku to provide communities with secure forest tenure, to benefit them and the forests.

At least nine people have been killed and dozens more have been injured in the latest outbreak of Christian-Muslim violence in the Indonesian province of Maluku, according to a local news agency.
Seven people were killed on Saturday, while at least two more died on Sunday.
On Saturday hundreds of rioters burned and looted houses and religious buildings in villages near the provincial capital, Ambon, about 1,440 miles (2300 kilometres) east of Jakarta.
Most of the deaths were reportedly caused by the military when it opened fire on the rioters.
The military contains both Muslims and Christians and it is not clear what part Indonesian soldiers may be taking in the fighting.
It is also unclear what is behind the latest violence.
