Scenarios about 'Free Aceh Movement'
The Free Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka or GAM) was a separatist group that fought for Acehnese independence from Indonesia between 1976 and 2005. This insurgency was rooted in the region's distinct cultural identity, historical autonomy, and grievances over resource exploitation, leading to a conflict that claimed thousands of lives. The movement ultimately ended with a peace agreement following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, resulting in special autonomy status for Aceh within Indonesia.
