K. M. A. Usop
Kenna Muhammad Aini Usop (5 July 1936 – 16 August 2015) was an Indonesian academic, politician, Dayak cultural figure, and former political prisoner during the early Reformasi era. He was famous for being accused as a provocator encouraging native Dayaks to kill Madurese migrants in Central Kalimantan, igniting the communal Sampit conflict in 2001.[1] As a result, he was arrested and prevented from leaving the city of Palangka Raya, making him a city prisoner.[2][3][1]
Previously, he wrote several books advocating Dayak regionalism and arguing why Dayaks should dominate all of Kalimantan provinces politically and economically.[4][5] After being released from detention, he became a representative on the Regional Representative Council representing Central Kalimantan between 2004 and 2009.[6]
He died on 16 August 2015 after suffering from deteriorating health. He was buried in Palangka Raya and his funeral prayer was attended by many people from Central Kalimantan.[6]
