December 4
is one of the historic days for Aceh in the world. On that date, exactly 4
December 1976, Tgk. Hasan Muhammad di Tiro and some of his followers declared
the Free Aceh State in the Halimon Mountains in Pidie, at that time his
movement was called Free Aceh (AM).
Dr. Mr.
Hasan Muhammad Tiro, MS., MA., LL.D., Ph.D declared an Independent Aceh which
is known overseas as the Aceh Sumatra National Liberation Front (ASNLF) to
restore Aceh's position as a sovereign country and question the government Indonesia
what is the basis and their rights to stand as a country.
After the
Dutch East Indies seized the archipelago which consisted of areas that had
multicultural ethnicities, almost all areas were controlled and collaborated
with the Dutch except for Aceh. Aceh is the westernmost region in the
archipelago which has a very strategic position and is still sovereign which
has never been subject to any country in the world.
On this
basis, Hasan Tiro wants Aceh to return to sovereignty and lead itself and expressly
want to break away from Indonesian rule. Since then, Hasan Tiro has received
the support of the people of Aceh and countries in the world who support Aceh
again as one of the Independent countries.
