Peace in Aceh

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the historic peace agreement reached on August 15, 2005, between the separatist Free Aceh Movement and the Indonesian government, following nearly thirty years of conflict. The devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004, which resulted in significant loss of life and destruction in Aceh, acted as a catalyst for the negotiations. The agreement granted Aceh a high degree of autonomy, marking a pivotal moment in the region's history and highlighting the impact of natural disasters on political resolutions.
