New clash has taken place between rival groups t in Kwamki Lama village in Timika regency, Papua, on Friday although police had managed to stop the fightings a day earlier.
News portal tempointeraktif.com reported that the new clash began at 7:10 a.m. local time (5:10 a.m. Jakarta time) following provocation from one of the groups since Wednesday night.
The groups, fighting using traditional weapon, picked a new area to fight on after the local police parked an armored vehicle on a street between the two warring neighborhoods on Wednesday.
The clashes began Monday afternoon, and have resulted in the death of one man and injuries to many more.
Police said the feud was due to the unpaid compensation demanded by one tribe for a rape that was allegedly committed by a member of the rival tribe six months ago.
Clashes between tribes are common in Mimika, home to one of the world's richest gold mines. A protracted conflict in 2006 killed 18 people. Another between tribes in Kwamki Lama claimed eight lives in 2007.
