Ahead of Tanwir in Palu, Muhammadiyah launches two books on mining and Poso

Muhammadiyah launched two books ahead of Tanwir 2026 in Palu, Sulawesi Tengah, scheduled for November 13-15. The two works were published by Lembaga Hikmah dan Kebijakan Publik together with the Majelis Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia of Pimpinan Pusat Muhammadiyah. The first book, “Tambang dan Sisi Gelap”, presents field research in Morowali on the impact of extractive industry activity on prostitution, drugs and HIV/AIDS in mining-ring communities. The second, “Kasus Poso: Konflik, Kebenaran dan Hak Asasi Manusia”, examines the roots of the Poso conflict, weapons trafficking, security operations and state responsibility. PP Muhammadiyah chairman Busyro Muqoddas said the launch was intended to ensure the organization's narrative is matched by research and concrete action. Its preparation was also supported by research centers from 167 Muhammadiyah universities.
