Indonesia Rejects Peace, Declares Martial Law
Aceh, on the northern tip of the island of Sumatra, is under attack by the Indonesian military. The Indonesian Government has rejected a peaceful resolution to the 27-year conflict, and instead declared Martial Law, launching a full-scale military operation against the people of Aceh.
The last time the Indonesian government declared Martial Law was in 1999, when its military and military-backed militia waged a campaign of terror in East Timor after the local population voted overwhelmingly for independence.
Today, the people of Aceh are calling for peace, and for their own democratic right to a peaceful process of self-determination, through a United Nations-facilitated REFERENDUM. Contrary to reports in the mainstream media, calls for self-determination are not being by sought by armed separatists calling for an Islamic State, but rather by a wide-based, non-violent civil society movement that includes farmers, fishermen, women's organisations, student groups, religious leaders, and businessmen. Aceh is not looking to a traditional past, but to a future of peace and prosperity through democracy and social justice.
This future will not come as long as the Indonesian military continues to act with impunity against the people of Aceh, Papua, Maluku, and its own citizens throughout the archipelago. It will not come as long as governments around the world (including the US) continue to give military aid to Indonesia.
We invite you to rally with us against war,
in support of democracy and justice
in Aceh, East Timor, Indonesia, and around the world.
