Free Aceh Movement
The Free Aceh Movement, Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, was a separatist organisation founded in 1976 by Hasan di Tiro to win independence for Aceh from Indonesia. Its insurgency, met by heavy Indonesian military operations, cost thousands of lives. After the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 devastated Aceh, peace talks led to the Helsinki agreement of August 2005, under which the movement disarmed and Aceh received special autonomy.
