HEROES ACEH CUT NYAK MUTIA

CUT NYAK MUTIA

Cut Nyak Meutia (Keureutoe, Pirak, North Aceh, 1870 - Alue Kurieng, Aceh, October 24, 1910) is one of Indonesia's National Heroes from Aceh. In the course of his life Cut Nyak Meutia not only became a pearl of the family and the village of Pirak, but he has become a pearl that remains glowing for the archipelago.

The struggle against the Dutch began when Cut Meutia married Teuku Chik Muhammad or better known as Teuku Chik Di Tunong. But in March of 1905, Chik Tunong was captured by the Dutch and executed by the coast of Lhokseumawe. Before his death, Teuku Chik Di Tunong advised his friend Pang Nanggroe to marry his wife and take care of his son Teuku Raja Sabi.

Cut Meutia later married Pang Nanggroe according to her husband's will and joined the other troops under the leadership of Teuku Gantoe Young. At a battle with the Marechausée Corps at Paya Cicem, Cut Meutia and the women fled into the forest. Pang Nagroe himself continued to fight until finally killed on September 26, 1910.
Cut Meutia then rose and continued to fight with the remnants of his troops. He attacked and robbed colonial outposts while heading toward Gayo through the jungle. But on October 24, 1910, Cut Meutia and his fist clashed with Marechausée in Alue Kurieng. In that battle Cut Meutia was killed.
