MAKASSAR - Tense conditions still occur in Makassar. Now clashes are taking place in Unismuh, Makassar, South Sulawesi.

According to VOI's monitoring , clashes occurred starting at 23.50 WITA, Thursday, October 8. A crowd on the Alauddin Makassar campus clashed with the police at the T-junction of the Pettarani AP route.

The clash occurred when the police used a water cannon trying to disperse the crowd in front of the Alauddin Makassar campus.

"5 minutes beaten back," said Mawa, a witness at the scene to VOI .

But at another point, students are already getting ready to 'welcome' the police. Students have gathered in Talasalapang, Rappocini, Makassar.
