How was the ACEH Conflict Resolved? | How INDONESIA'S 30-Year Separatist Dispute Came to an End 

Finally ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ it’s about time that you’re covering the Southeast Asian region (you do recognize me right?) If you have more time, can you please cover the other secessionist groups from the region (per country of course) and the history behind their desire to separate itself from their parent state? Their many reasons usually goes along by saying-that they don’t have or were not given a VOICE for their concerns to be heard because capital’s wants (representatives from the separatist region are lacking even in my home country) in the central government (their concerns/needs are being swept aside or treated as an afterthought) Or that when it comes to the separatist region’s very basic needs, the response from the central government is too slow The point is, is that the secessionist problems of every country have to be resolved peacefully (even if I am not from the secessionist region I understand that they mostly wanted a better life for their families and children 👶) including my own country’s secessionist problem which is in the form of the Moro Conflict in Mindanao that President Duterte is trying to resolve (the first Philippine President from Mindanao-Davao region)

❤❤salem aneuk nanggrau❤❤ The Kingdom of Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra has always been a very strong and influential sultanate in Southeast Asia since the world has known Aceh. The golden peak of Aceh was under the rule of Sultan Iskandar Muda in the 17th century where, the Kingdom of Aceh expanded its influence almost throughout the whole of Southeast Asia. Aceh had strong diplomatic and trading relations with the international world, including the Kingdom of Holland way before the bloody colonial war broke out between the two nations. The Sultan of Aceh sent an Acehnese ambassador Tuanku Abdul Hamid, who died in Holland and was begraved at the church premise in Middlesburg, in the Netherlands. On 26 March 1873, the Kingdom of Holland officially declared war upon the Kingdom of Aceh. The aftermath of this declaration was widely reported around the globe by international newspapers and even created debates in government parliaments both in Holland and Great Britain that had diplomatic relations with the Sultan of Aceh. Today, after 148 years, the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the loyal Acehnese community commemorate this historic and glamourous day. The declaration of war is an official recognition of sovereignty and independence of Aceh. It was on this legal basis that GAM started their liberation struggle on 4 December 1976, whereby more than 30,000 innocent Acehenese and som 200 000 died during the tsunami. In the process, GAM and the Acehnese have always maintained our committment until today. The catastrophe was a catalyst that started the peace talks between GAM and GoI that ended the 30 years armed conflict with the signing of the peace accord, The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed on 15 August 2005 in Helsinki, Finland. Since then, GAM has adhered and respect the MoU but unfortunately, most of the points agreed have not been fully implemented while some crucial points are still on paper. In fact new regulations have been passed to decapitate the MoU. Many Acehnese are losing their patience and confidence of the peace process. The main issue of conflict in Aceh is political, a decolonization process that has never been done and the status of Aceh that was never part of the Netherlands East Indies. It is also the struggle for the right of determinantion of a decolonised people under international law. We strongly believe and call upon the Kingdom of Netherlands, with the support of the international community, to sign an end to the Declaration of War upon Aceh, as has been praticed after the Second World War. Thus eternal peace and stability is maintained in Aceh and the region of Southeast Asia.

Thank you so much for the extremely kind comment. (And my sincerest apologies for the delay in replying.) It is always wonderful to hear from people in the countries I cover. It was certainly a dark time. Needless to say, I wish you all the very best for the future. Very best regards from London.

Thank you so much. That is fascinating. I must look into it. Indonesia is such an interesting country in so many ways. Funnily enough, when I originally went to university I applied to do Politics with Indonesian (seriously), but then became fascinated in SE Europe when my family moved to Cyprus. But I’ve always maintained an interest in SE Asia.

And your plan will never come to pass

That's quite Impossible, even the largest Muslim organization like NU, refused the idea Indonesia becoming Muslim nations. Becose the priority is making Indonesia Darussalam (peaceful) country. Because only in peaceful countries you can practice your religion freely and safely.

Thank you so much for your kind message. I am so glad you find the channel interesting and useful. Indonesia is indeed an incredible country with so much diversity. But, as you note, there are also serious issues. I would really love to be able to visit someday.

Thanks so much! Yes, I was really surprised that no one mentioned it when I put a post in the community board earlier today!

Same

Thank you so much. It is always really great to hear from people directly involved in the cases I explore. It is often the case that once the peace agreement has been done and the world’s media go home there are elements of the agreement that don’t get implemented and aspects of the conflict that get quietly pushed away from public view. I really should look at this aspect of conflict. In the meantime, thanks for the comment and very best regards from London.

Amazing creatures. My father grew up in Borneo. He always said they were incredible. Truly, ‘Jungle People’.

Thanks so much. It’s so interesting to hear a perspective from on the ground. I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much. Agreed. It really should be better known internationally.

Thanks a lot for the comment. I really appreciate it. It does seem that various elements of the agreement have not been implemented. There is always a worry in these situations that the conflict can resume. Hopefully, this won’t happen.

Thank a lot. Yes, it’s strange but Aceh is largely forgotten; even though it has only (!?) been 15 years since it was brought to an end. At one point, it was very prominent.

Thanks so much. Great suggestion! I’ve already done one video on Scotland. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sDJTQoLH66w.html I am certainly hoping to do more on the UK. But a general explainer is an excellent idea. For example, many people don’t understand the relationship between the Isle of Man and the UK or between the UK and the Channel Islands.

Mario G Cevallos Hi Mario, thank you so much. I am so glad the video was helpful! And thanks for the subscribe. Really appreciated. (You might well be the first from Ecuador 🇪🇨!) Do let me know if you have any ideas for subjects you would like to see me cover. I’m always keen to hear ideas.

Thank you. I would really like to do a follow up on Aceh at some point. What is your view of the situation?

If i had to say, what's happening right now, it's complicated to explain and perhaps there are sensitive issues among indonesian goverment and GAM such as Aceh's flag, symbol and etc. Therefore, i would like you please do your own research to find the solve issues... Thank you so much your kind, God bless you are 😊🙏🙏

​@@JamesKerLindsay merdeka kan Aceh dari Indonesia

Thanks. Aceh really is a fascinating case. In fact, Indonesia as a whole is one of the most interesting countries in the world for anyone interested in secession.

Thanks so much for the really kind message! I am really delighted you found the channel! I actually studied conflict for my MA and PhD (over at Kent) and I remember doing various case studies. I really hoped that the channel would be useful to students. As you can see, I often try to weave in ‘bigger’ issues and concepts into the videos. Do let me know if there are any topics you would like to see me cover. I am always keen to hear good ideas. And perhaps you could recommend the channel to others on your course or anyone else who might be interested. All support is most appreciated!

Thanks. It is interesting how it seems to have completely dropped off the international radar. It was quite a big story at one point. However, these days most people seem to know little about it. (By contrast, East Timor has remained relatively well know.) In any case, I hope you’re doing well. Looking forward to your next offering!

Thanks. Sadly not a situation that gets nearly enough attention. I actually included it in my recent video on the World’s leading independence movements ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JumFpE9D610.html I hope to do a longer video on it at some point.

Thanks so much for a great suggestion! I have noted it down. It certainly is a fascinating situation. A strange enclave of Russia that, as you say, was once part of Prussia.

Basically the Germans(who were NAZI's at that point) left at the end of the second world war, and Stalin made sure they left. Whilst it was part of the Soviet Union it was offered to the Lithuanian SSR, but they declined in a display of foresight.

It can be called force relocation

Thank you so much.

Aceh ye.s mardeka

Thanks. Yes, when one thinks of Indonesia it tends to be in the context of East Timor or West Papua. Aceh already seems to be fading from memory; a mere 15 years after it was resolved. However, in its day, it was often reported in the international press.

Thanks. I certainly hope to do some videos on India. In case you haven’t seen it, I did one on Bangladesh. Obviously, India’s role in that situation was crucial. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xp2ljnaoaqs.html

disgusting idea.

Our Aceh has the same fate with Nepal after Maoist insugency. Former Maoists frontman rebels lift to political saga and swept the victory in the first national elections which held after the 2006 peace deal, but soon fell out of favour as former cadres accused rebel leaders of adopting lavish lifestyles and betraying their sacrifices

Thanks so much. Great suggestion. I certainly plan to do a video on East Timor. It is a very interesting case that actually has some parallels with Western Sahara. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x7xRduwFNPg.html

@@JamesKerLindsay Not really you did not cover darul islam and its direct relation to aceh separatist movement. That explain the key point of the peace agreement the instatement of shariah law in Aceh. Of course then Indonesia government get the periodic flak from western media each time theres public caning by Aceh (formerly separatist) government. Kinda funny of course EU support the implementation of shariah law in foreign country.

www u means aceh kick japan imperial army out of aceh?? yes.. but if japan focus only attacking aceh, however our kingdom facing big lose after fighting VOC-portoguese in selat malaka... that cause ottoman call back 90% his war ship for back up turk-yaman conflict.. since that kingdom fall and deutch come more-and more till japan come.. but no one of them realy occopasion aceh region without war except japan, japan imperial army asked to leave their military base in (sabang), and japanese imperial army agree to leave without bringing more than one weapon because achenese ask them to leave ASAP that day if they want their life", japan army leave everything excepet one weapon with and bullet to protect their self and they not facing big problem here in aceh because japan only deals with deutch here.. aceh killed 2 deutch army general and make deutch goverment angry and send the third general and after that japan come, may be japan entering aceh only looking for deutch general because aceh was one of international trade zone that time..

To be honest, the Aceh government had been consistent in their failures to deliver net positive development despite the trillions given by the central government. There are two possible causes: either the local government is corrupt as hell, or the money is syphoned into...another part of the world, the middle east- for example

Indonesia shouldn't help Aceh when they got hit by tsunami then. They pour a lot of money to help Aceh recover from that disaster.

All over Indonesia were hand-in-hand spontaneously organizing aid when tsunami struck Aceh. I was one of them coordinating aids to Meulaboh when it was not accesible, one of my friends an anasthesist in Jakarta with his team of doctors voluntarily flew to Aceh the second day of tsunami. I remember how the whole Indonesia acted in many ways to help Aceh at that time. That I think what many Acehneses also saw which made it easier for integration.
