Teuku samsul Bahri is deeply concerned: The Indonesian military is in their homeland in Aceh einmarschiert. The government has imposed martial law was imposed, aid agencies and journalists were expelled. The peace process, which in a good shape, has once again failed in the battered province of Aceh, where civil war has raged for 26 years. "Once again, innocent civilians is the most affected in case of thousands of troops now occupy the country," samsul white.
Aceh is located on the northern tip of Sumatra. Despite rich natural gas reserves in the province of the population suffers the anguish of more than 12,000 lives, the war has already requested, torture, displacement and rape are the norm for decades. It is feared especially the paramilitaries, the armed forces were trained. "It lit homes, schools and universities," said samsul. "Two thousand schools were destroyed. They are the systematic, because they want to remain stupid and uneducated."
The 24 years old, is a human right activists in Europe and reports on the dramatic situation in his homeland. Ris reported at the Geneva Human Rights Commission of the United Nations. In many events being reported on the desperate plight of their compatriots. Simply, it is not. For the concerns of people in Aceh to be heard - not known to this part of the peninsula from Sumatra. Ris Yet do not be discouraged. He is a member of the contras, an organization that has human rights violations in Aceh documented missing and displaced uses. The work is full of risks, however: Even in the offices of the capital, Jakarta, is not sure how the end of May, a raid by the paramilitary militias showed cons of office. The five workers were injured and the office completely devastated. The Chief of the armed forces of Indonesia, Sutarto said the victims then the Council going to consider what the patriotic motivation of the attackers had - even if they reject their methods.
Between the fronts
Not only the government is strongly against the civilian population, including the rebel movement GAM takes drastic means to meet their war to drive. As in many other conflict zones, reported to the common people in the impasse, both sides threatened and forced to work - often with fatal consequences.
Four million inhabitants, the province of Aceh. It is a rural and maritime pluralistic society with a strong Islamic tradition and spirit of trade, due to the high seas between India and China takes over Aceh. Aceh is rich and potentially fruitful: Near Lhlokseumawe built EXXON Ölmulti of the largest gas liquefaction plant in the natural world. The wine and the richness of Aceh, however, does not benefit the population, but government revenues in Jakarta to remove. The resistance in Aceh has a long tradition: The population is already actively engaged in the fight against the colonial power from Holland. With the foundation of state under President Sukarno was the Free Aceh Movement (GAM), which until now an independent state in Aceh fighting. Especially during the period of the dictatorship of Suharto, the movement was severely repressed.
The current government of President Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia in 2002 a peace process launched in December led to an agreement. Apparently, however, continued in the meantime, the real rulers of Indonesia, the military, with its hard-line, so after a few months of the Termination Agreement and imposed martial law in the province. Since it is the terror of Aceh, thousands are fleeing in detention camps, neither the press nor international relief agencies have access to the war region. Even the brutal militias and paramilitary groups now once again spread fear and terror in Aceh.
Since the mid-90 promotes the children's charity Terre des Hommes projects in Aceh. Partner organizations try to give special attention to the many displaced persons, especially children and women fighting on the front of the camp had to flee. They live in intolerable conditions: Apart from inadequate health care and missing school children shows that people in these areas before the attacks are not sure. In 15 camps are partners of Terre des hommes actively to ensure the health and education, and to organize the return of displaced people to help. A total of 45,000 people so far with the services rendered.
Even the street children and working children receiving aid: Many are orphans or have been through the fight, separated from their families, many children are covered by the experiences of war trauma. In addition, there are more and more cases of girls for prostitution.
Another area of Terre des hommes-partner is a commitment to human rights: As samsul contras and his organization, the activists are the victims of violations of human rights violations and contribute to document that, despite the repression and the militarization of the Civil Society Development continues. But after the recent completion of the ceasefire are the partners of Terre des hommes now able to maintain their programs.
Appeal to the Federal Government
Terre des hommes has voted against the war in Aceh protested. The Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs and Human Rights Commissioner of the Federal Government have been invited to be isolated from the Indonesian leadership for a peaceful solution to the conflict and access for international relief to the people of Aceh to help. In addition, Terre des hommes, protested against the financial, technical and military support for Indonesia by Germany, in particular the modernization of the old vessels of the National People's Army for new marine diesel. These vessels showed, contrary to a contractual agreement, even in the war on the ground.
Terre des Hommes for the care of people poor organization of emergency as soon as conditions are created.
