Dear Netters,
This is not the
time for just "sindir menyindir", this is the time for the truth.
Tell the truth bluntly and honestly. Don't play with the future of
4 millions Achehnese.
To me,
Geneva Accord nothing more than an Agreement between Thugs
and Invaders while the people of Aceh has nothing to say about it
except to accept what is coming and the most they can do is praying.
You know, never
in my thought that one day i have to take over and fight alone to
last seconds of my life, but now its seem i do not have any choice
as the rest of so called GAM Figures are coward !
I want nothing
for myself, I just want the right to decide the future of Aceh to
be given back to the people of Aceh. To achieve that, the Invaders,
the Thugs, the Lunatics and the Traitors must leave Aceh.

“GENEVA ACCORD” – MUCH ADO ABOUT
NOTHING.
The so called
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reportedly
to be signed by GAM Minister of Health, Zaini Abdullah, and Indonesian
Ambassador to Switzerland, Hasan Wirayuda, in Geneva next week will
be seen by many as a first step to resolve the bloody conflict in
Acheh through a dialogue. As usual, when the word “Geneva”
is mentioned as the venue of the meeting, “a miracle is going to
happen”, and the world's media hail the event as a major achievement
for President Abdurrahman Wahid - so far. And it, unfortunately, is
true!
The Free Acheh Movement in Europe (MB
GAM Eropa), which is committed to dialogue as the best way to resolve
the decades conflict between Acheh and Jakarta, sees the "Geneva
event" as an Indonesian propaganda that will merely be used to
accommodate its political and economic interests. President Abdurrahman
Wahid who has adopted the philosophy of 'let-it-be'-ism (biarinisme)
in handling the Acheh issues, has already won the first round of the
“Geneva accord” without having to lift a finger. The other
winner is Hasballah Saad, Indonesian Human rights Minister, who has
been very busy commenting to the press about this achievement. In
his first comment, he unashamedly said that the ongoing “connectivity
Court” of the massacre of Teungku Bantaqiah and his followers,
which has been widely denounced in Acheh, is also “part of the
Geneva agreement:”
There is no reason not to believe that
the historic event in Geneva is regarded by most Achehnese as a kind
of painkillers that would temporarily linger their long sufferings
and break the impasse over this protracted armed conflict. But at
this critical moment, when the Indonesian economy is on the brink
of total collapse, when multinational companies in Acheh are halting
its operations and when the hopes to solve the Acheh problems are
out of sight, Indonesia desperately needs a lifeline in order to survive
as a country - and that lifeline is non other than that “peace
accord”. Thanks to Mr Malik Mahmud and Zaini Abdullah for bailing
Indonesia out of bankruptcy and collapse.
Indonesia urgently needs something
“black on white” as a guarantor to show the international community,
especially the west and the USA, that it is evidently committed to
non-violence in dealing with the troubled Acheh. By so doing, International
pressures on past military abuses in Acheh could be eased or rather
forgotten, and fearful foreign investments could be attracted again
to the area. Regardless of what the Geneva agreement will contain,
the winners and the losers are already there. A the time of the Geneva
event is on the headlines of every major newspaper world over, the
violence has been on the increase instead of diminishing. And Abdurrahman
Wahid along with some Government Ministers have been quick to comment
that the recent violence prevalent in Acheh has been the work of a
third party – not by its armed forces. The meaning is, if the Geneva
agreement can not be lived up later (certainly it cannot be), the
President of Indonesia has already a scapegoat at his disposal to
be blamed. While his tens of thousands of battle-harden troops who
have been doing most of the dirty job in the field are not to be touched.
By now, three days before the signing
of the “cease fire”, Abdurrahman Wahid has white-washed his
bloody hands in Acheh, and his marauding soldiers who have been responsible
for all kinds of atrocities – abductions, rapes and massacres - appear
now as innocent and, all of sudden, being portrayed by local media
as “good guys”. Worse still, even the armed forces of the Free
Acheh Movement have been eulogised by some Indonesian ministers as
“good guys” and ask them to cooperate with TNI to search for
provocateurs or Mr “unknown”. This is not the first time Indonesia
has used this kind of deplorable tactics to conjure the people of
Acheh to its subordination.
As for ASNLF delegation, led by Mr
Malik Mahmud, being able to come to Geneva and to sit down and discuss
the future of Acheh with an Indonesian Ambassador is a major “diplomatic
breakthrough”. At least they can show to the people of Acheh back
home that there is something going on here in Europe, but without
realising that this temporary “cease fire” will certainly be used
at the maximum by Indonesia and its henchmen in Banda Acheh as a gimmick
to buy time to pursue it own agenda: A wide autonomy for Acheh (Negara
Aceh Darussalam). While the hapless people of Acheh can only have
hope and illusion to live in peace and freedom. However, the fact
remains that whoever signs the agreement will one day be remembered
by the people of Acheh as either a traitor or a hero.
The Free Acheh Movement in Europe once
again emphasises that it will unreservedly support any efforts to
bring the Acheh violence to a end and to resolve the Acheh issues
democratically and peacefully in accordance with the genuine aspirations
of the people of Acheh. But the would be “Geneva agreement”
occurs at an improbable time and at impetuous momentum.
Liberation can only be achieved
by those whose minds are already liberated!
