ACEH

Do not Speak of Nationalism with Us (Aceh) There is an acquaintance in Jakarta sending WA post my statement in mass media representing SURA about Aceh wakaf land in Saudi Arabia. "Aceh is peaceful. It's time to show the nationalist spirit bung. "As soon as roughly the sound. I did not write his name because he was an influential figure at the national level and had both learned the science of investigation. Now he is still focused on media and I am more into social and political activities. In some ways, we often agree but for our different ways of 'nationalism'. Perhaps more precisely, there is a different perception in interpreting the nationalist spirit of myself personally. Not just about waqf land but other case series. For me, historical studies show that Aceh's 'sense of nationalism' is much higher than in other parts of the archipelago, even by Java itself. For example, Aceh is a capital area for NKRI. We (Aceh-red) are struggling to defend Indonesia when the country is virtually non-existent. The Medan Area war event is a testament to Aceh's loyalty. Acehnese who flocked to Medan to fight Sukarno's provocation. But the history books that are taught in schools today never peeled this out. Aceh is the capital area with its Rimba Raya Radio. Aceh also contributed the first aircraft. Gold in Monas is also a donation from the people of Aceh. Aceh always shows its love for Indonesia when the country was recently established. But often this sense of 'love' is not considered. It is precisely when Aceh asks for more privileges compared to other regions, the Center retaliated by war. Shouts of David Beureueh's protest were met with war. This protest ended with the Lamteh Pledge. At that time our ancestors thought, this is the form of Jakarta's gratitude towards Aceh. This is love. Aceh had thought that this was a form of love from Jakarta, but ended up with betrayal. We were disappointed. The war made us worse off. The wasted capital area. When Hasan Tiro took the stance of resistance, the Center again responded with war. Annual bloodshed re-occur in Aceh. When Tsunami, Jakarta again seduce. Aceh again melt and reconciled in Helsinki. Aceh again hopes that this is the time for Jakarta to show love. At least all of the agreements are realized. But 13 years of peace, promise to stay an appointment. Jakarta is like a 'crazy' man who never consciously continually hurts the heart of Aceh. Can they ask about nationalism with the people of Aceh? Are you still unsure of our 'nationalism' (Aceh)? Why do not you ask Jakarta once! Really they really love Aceh? Ask nationalism to leaders in Jakarta. Or are they still pretending to be crazy. It's enough to ask about our loyalty. Especially what we have to sacrifice for you to believe. Already when we asked back, did the leaders in Jakarta really love Aceh? Or Aceh just like a cow freshly squeezed! It's enough to talk nationalism with us in Aceh, now it's time we ask you. The same question our great-grandmother once asked the leaders in Jakarta before. Do Jakarta still love Aceh? Hopefully no war returned
