"..."Go ahead, do not be afraid",He said to me When in front of us there are raids conducted by TNI. Frightened, I continue to drive through the raids. Successfully, we passed the raid smoothly. Though the raid is specifically done by TNI to find someone like him. Whatever Mysticism he has, until TNI can not see him. Before we passed the raid, he just forbade me to call him in front of them. We were not even dismissed by the TNI. We keep going without checking..." That is the story of a motorcycle taxi driver who escorted GAM commander in the ACEH conflict decades ago.

** Abdullah Syafiie **, that is the full name of the commander. He was born in the Bireuen on 12 October 1947. He was the most respected commander in Aceh at that time. Not just among its members. Among the aceh people he is also known as a great commander who has a polite and friendly nature.Even he is highly respected among opponents.

Tgk lah (the Nickname of abdullah Syafiie) joined GAM forces since 4 December 1976. Over 20 years he led GAM forces in Aceh. He and his troops (GAM) fought for the independence of ACEH from Indonesia. In the era of his leadership, GAM troops experienced a glorious peak.

He died on January 22, 2002 at the age of 54 years. He died from being shot by the TNI after being besieged a few days earlier. At that time he was only accompanied by his beloved wife and two faithful bodyguards. The five of them died at that time.

Although he has long died and the war between ACEH and INdonesia has ended (peace on August 15, 2015), but Abdullah syafii's personal and service are still remembered among the people of ACEH.
