The Roots of the Conflict
Rina Wijaya: Dr. Fauzi, the feud between Nanang and Sandy reportedly began in 2019 when Sandy cut down trees in Nanang’s yard without permission. How do you think such a seemingly small incident could spiral into a long-standing grudge?
Dr. Ahmad Fauzi: Small incidents like this often act as catalysts, especially when they involve personal property or pride. For Nanang, this was likely perceived as a violation of his personal space and autonomy. Over time, if left unaddressed, such grievances can fester, leading to deep-seated resentment. The lack of mediation or resolution in this case allowed the tension to build unchecked.
The Escalation in Late 2024
Rina Wijaya: In late 2024,the tension flared up again during a neighborhood meeting. Sandy reportedly raised concerns about alcohol consumption in the area, which Nanang found confrontational. How do public confrontations like this contribute to escalating conflicts?
Dr. Ahmad Fauzi: Public confrontations, especially in communal settings, can be especially volatile. When one party feels publicly criticized or humiliated, it can evoke strong emotional responses. In this case, Sandy’s tone and body language—standing while others were seated—may have been perceived as signaling superiority, which likely intensified Nanang’s feelings of being disrespected.this dynamic can quickly escalate if not managed carefully.
The Final Confrontation
Rina Wijaya: The situation reached its breaking point on January 12,2025,when Nanang confronted Sandy at his residence and stabbed him multiple times. What do you think led to this extreme act of violence?
Dr. Ahmad Fauzi: The accumulation of unresolved grievances, coupled with the perceived provocation during the neighborhood meeting, likely created a tipping point for Nanang. When Sandy accused Nanang’s wife of attacking him, it may have been the final straw, triggering a violent response. In such cases, individuals may feel cornered or threatened, leading to impulsive and extreme actions.

Dr. Ahmad Fauzi: This tragedy underscores the importance of addressing conflicts early and constructively. Community leaders and mediators play a crucial role in de-escalating tensions and fostering open dialogue.
