 KONTRAS- Indonesia: AGAM chief calls for world attention on Aceh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-11)
Jakarta Post 04 August 1999 SIGLI, Aceh (JP): Tengku Abdulah Syafi'i, the commander of Angkatan Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (AGAM), the armed wing of the separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM), has said all Acehnese support a separate state and it is therefore not important which group they join to further the cause.
In an interview with The Jakarta Post on Monday at his hideout in a forest in Pidie regency, Syafi'i said there was a diverse range of people involved in self-determination efforts, despite the reported deployment of 32,000 security personnel so far, including the 7,000 reinforcement, to hunt down an estimated 200 rebel leaders.
We just hope that the international world, especially the Netherlands which surrendered Aceh (in the past) to the colonial powers of Indonesia, will solve the situation and be responsible for the suffering of the Acehnese.
