The
Free Aceh Movement (
Indonesian:
Gerakan Aceh Merdeka or simply
GAM,
Acehnese:
Geurakan Acèh Meurdèka, also: Gěrakan Aceh Měrdeka
[1]) was a
separatist group seeking
independence for the
Aceh region of
Sumatra from
Indonesia. GAM fought against Indonesian government forces in the
Aceh insurgency from 1976 to 2005, during which over 15,000 lives are believed to have been lost.
[2]
The organisation surrendered its separatist intentions and dissolved its armed wing following 2005 peace agreement with the
Indonesian Government, and subsequently changed its name into
Aceh Transition Committee (
Komite Peralihan Aceh,
KPA). The Indonesian government called the group the
Aceh Security Disturbance Movement.

It is clear that the reason of insurgency in Pakistan because of the resources. Look like Pakistan central government benefits more than Balochistan people in term of extracting the resources. I believe if you guys just take the economic section of Helsinke agreement, the insurgency will be disappeared. Aceh province under Helsinkee agreement can take 70 % of their resources, compare to 30 % taken by central government.
responsibly keeping us and awaam educated in these matter without compromising the safety of our boys , You are one of the reason I am still on this forum ..
