The Poso riots (Indonesian: Kerusuhan Poso), also known as Poso communal conflict (Indonesian: Konflik Komunal Poso), is a name given to a series of riots that occurred in Poso, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This incident involved a group of Muslims and Christians in the region and was divided into three stages. The first Poso riot took place from 25 to 29 December 1998, the second from 17 to 21 April 2000, and the final one from 16 May to 15 June 2000.
