hello hiver everyone
when I know the topic that needs to be discussed today, so I think back to the very difficult times for us ordinary people, in our area Aceh in 1990-1998 set by the government of the Republic of Indonesia military operation area, why can it be made as an area (DOM) because in the Aceh area there are siparatis who want to separate themselves from the republic of Indonesia, I told you a little bit in 1990 when I was 14 years old where I already understood about the situation that was happening in our area.
I want to share a little about my experience during the period of the DOM (military operation area) in Aceh, when there were a few people who were not responsible for their own interests then ordinary people became victims.

Troops from the police and from the TNI also continue to arrive to secure areas that are used as hiding places for the siparatis.
In the Aceh area there are several areas or places that they make as their headquarters, namely the Aceh Pidie area, East Aceh, West Aceh.
These three areas are very vulnerable and very dangerous.
Ordinary people seemed to go awry at that time, from both sides felt a very fatal threat.I was actually at that age again happy to play, but I had to live from threats that made my soul depressed.When every corner is used as a swipping place to raid people who are not known by the state authorities, everyone who crosses the road that is being raided is all stopped for inspection.
If we were a little stiff when we were checked it would be a big problem for us, because the state apparatus asks us about the whereabouts of the saparatic, while we don't know where they are.
Finish us馃槰馃槯

The village I live in is one of the vulnerable areas classified as a red zone, meaning that the area is very vulnerable and tense.
I almost every day heard the sound of bombs exploding or the sound of bullets flying everywhere.
I am unable to survive if the situation becomes more tense because the target of both sides must be to bear teenage children.
when one day in the morning I wanted to go to a drink shop to taste a cup of coffee, maybe I thought it would be better, because I have not been out of the house for a long time since the implementation of the military operation area (DOM) in Aceh.
I had just enjoyed a little drink at the stall suddenly from the east west south north our village was surrounded by troops from the government, our village was under siege that morning, while I who was in the stall was forbidden to travel everywhere.

That morning the situation was getting tense, maybe I considered that morning my life was over and over.because all the troops were ready to head towards us, and we who were in the stall were told to line up all by the authorities, one by one among us were asked some questions that could not be answered, because the questions asked were related to the existence of these irresponsible people.
Let alone let us know their existence, just look at us, never.
It's not strange if we live in an area where there is conflict.
My friends and I had to soak in the river water that morning not so far from the existence of the stall we were sitting, it was really unlucky that morning for me... LOL

When I recounted the history in 1990-1998 my tears flowed by themselves, because really I could not forget that history, our lives in those days were like undead, we just diem at home and eat roughly, because we could not leave the house to work in order to meet our daily needs.
So long story short 8 years we lived in a war many casualties fell everywhere, mostly innocent people who became victims, we were very concerned at that time.

right on 04-Dec-2004 the Aceh area was again in Landa disaster that invited the world, where on Sunday there was a tsunami very large.with the magnitude of the earthquake reaching 8.9 and so many victims again, thousands of people died when the tsunami occurred in Aceh.
event after event occurred in Aceh, the war was not over, the tsunami hit Aceh, I think when the sea water as high as 5 meters hit the earth as if the world was doomed.

The important point that can be learned in the two histories that I have experienced is that after hundreds of thousands of casualties finally the two sides began to reconcile, but there are some people who do not accept this fact, because they consider their innocent parents who were victims, now they become orphans.
hopefully behind the events of historical events in Aceh we can take the lesson.
That's just a little bit of my story on the topic of remembering history and events that I have experienced, hopefully it can be a motivation for all of us.
Thank you so much for reading my post, see you again next time.
