Eklin Amtor de Fretes

The religiously nuanced social conflict that disrupted Maluku about two decades ago has caused many people to develop segregated environments and outlooks. Eklin Amtor de Fretes, 28, a victim of the conflict, appeals to children and teenagers to penetrate barriers of segregation through the stories of peace he has been telling.

When social conflict was rampant in 1999, Eklin was seven years old. With his family, he was forced to leave the house where he was born in Masohi, Central Maluku regency. They were seeking a secure place to take refuge and start a new life as it was impossible to return home.
