Never Forget

Remember, today is a historic day

Thirteen years ago, in a city in Finland, Helsinki, the Indonesian government and the ASNLF (Aceh Sumatra National Liberations Front) agreed to end a prolonged conflict that had lasted for thirty years.

And from this day on August 15, thirteen years ago, after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the beginning of a new life began, various dynamics took place in a normal and normal manner, no more explosions, no kidnappings, no more corpses were seen, the atmosphere was peaceful.

However, even though the war was over thirteen years ago, most of the people of Aceh to this day are still living below the poverty line with per capita income below the national average and very far behind if it has to be compared with the average international income

For us, most of the people of Aceh, the peace agreement with the points of agreement stated in the MoU and signed by representatives of both parties really does not mean anything, because to this day we still have to fight against the rigors of life
