TERNATE - Ternate Police officers, assisted by Brimob Polda North Maluku (Malut), resolved the conflict between the two camps in the Ternate Sultanate, following the rejection of Hidayullah Sjah's coronation as the 49th Sultan of Ternate.

As a result of this conflict, one of the traditional officials from the Falaraha camp named Zulkifli Marsaoly Jogugu suffered head injuries as a result of being beaten by a mob from a supporter of the Sultan of Ternate, Hidayatullah Sjah.

"The victim was beaten at the entrance to the Kedaton Sultanate of Ternate and was rushed to the Chasan Boesoerie General Hospital in Ternate," said Ternate Police Chief AKBP Andik Purnomo Sigit in Ternate, Antara, Tuesday, March 29.

He stated, to prevent criminal acts, people should not be provoked. For the children, the Sultan of Ternate is advised to finish well and not to bring mass.

The Ternate Police attempted to mediate so that the two groups would only send representatives. Ternate Police is ready to be a facilitator and mediator by preparing a neutral place so that the two families of the Sultan of Ternate can meet.

In fact, the Police have provided a Ternate Police hall to mediate the two internal factions of the Ternate Sultanate to conduct deliberations.

"I have conveyed to the extended family of the Sultanate of Ternate so that they can meet and an agreement can be reached, so that there are no more problems, because customary issues are welcome to be resolved internally," he said.

The police chief admitted that his party had been mediating for three days, so that no one else would become a victim in internal problems in the Sultanate of Ternate.

Lieutenant Alfiris of the Sultanate of Ternate, Roni M Saleh, stated that family mediation had been carried out and the procession for the appointment of Hidayatullah Sjah as Sultan of Ternate through the system in force in the Sultanate of Ternate from Bobato 18 to Falaraha had made a valid decision according to the law in force in the Sultanate of Ternate.

So, if there is a Falaraha group that does not agree with the appointment of the Sultan of Ternate Hidayatullah Sjah, it is an illegitimate group.

He said that the traditional clothes used based on the order of positions in force in the Sultanate of Ternate must be inaugurated by the Sultan of Ternate, while the group who came to Kedaton brought up the name of Falaraha's position who was appointed.

He emphasized that there was a group led by Munir Tomagola as one of the Falaraha who was responsible for causing chaos within the Sultanate of Ternate.

"Of course, I, as the head of the Sultanate of Ternate, have instructed me to guard Kedaton, so that there is no longer any involvement with the family, because the Sultan of Ternate, Hidayatullah Sjah, has been confirmed, meaning that the responsibility lies with the apparatus of the Sultanate of Ternate to protect it as a symbol of traditional institutions," he said.

He stated that his party will continue to protect the Sultan of Ternate Hidayatullah Sjah from anyone who interferes with his existence as the ruler of traditional institutions in the Sultanate of Ternate.

Meanwhile, Nulzuluddin Mudaffar Sjah, son of the late Sultan Mudaffar Sjah who opposed the inauguration of Hidatullah Sjah expressed their desire to come to the Kedaton of the Sultanate of Ternate to ask questions about the procession of the inauguration of Sultan Hidatullah Sjah, because it had no legitimacy.

Because, there is a declaration 4 Falaraha which cancels the inauguration of Sultan Hidayatullah Sjah, so that no one should carry royal symbols and hope to use the Falaraha institution to lead the election of the Sultan of Ternate.

He stated that he came to the Kedaton of the Sultanate of Ternate to ask for a mechanism for the appointment of the Sultan of Ternate in accordance with the provisions stipulated in the constitution of the Sultanate of Ternate.
