Multi-Stakeholder Review of Post-Conflict Programming in Aceh Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Multi-Stakeholder Review of Post-Conflict Programming in Aceh Identifying the Foundations for Sustainable Peace and Development in Aceh December 2009 The opinions expressed in the report are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the institutions they work with, or any of the bodies who have supported the MSR. ii Multi-Stakeholder Review of Post-Conflict Programming in Aceh: Identifying the Foundations for Sustainable Peace and Development in Aceh Foreword Over four years on from the signing of the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Peace Agreement, Aceh is largely peaceful. That said, the foundations for long term sustainable peace and development are only now beginning to be laid. Recent successful national parliamentary and presidential elections, and local elections for parliament and head of regions in Aceh, steady decreases in poverty levels, and increased provincial and district revenues all bode well for the future. While there have been significant challenges to date, peace has held primarily due the commitment of the Acehnese people, together with support from the government, GAM leadership and the international community. This strong commitment to peace will be needed more than ever to consolidate the substantial gains to date as tsunami reconstruction and many conflict recovery programs wind down. The population at large will need to let go of conflict-era identities for deeper reintegration to occur. Struggles over access to resources and power will need to be managed. Governance at all levels will need to be improved. The peace process is now entering a new phase and despite this, to date there has been no comprehensive roadmap to guide stakeholders. The Multi-Stakeholder Review of Post-Conflict Programming in Aceh (MSR) together with strategic initiatives by the Aceh Peace-Reintegration Board (BRA) and National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), and the legal framework of Presidential Instruction No. 15 of 2005, provide a solid base for the government, donors and implementing organizations for policy formulation, program implementation and partnership building. The MSR itself has been a model of partnership between the government and donor communities. Desk Aceh of the Coordinating Ministry of Politics, Legal and Security Affairs, BRA, BAPPENAS, AusAID, the World Bank, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, UNDP, UNORC, USAID-SERASI and DFID all worked together to financially support and guide the MSR. We support it as a comprehensive and practical contribution to the continuing successful peace process in Aceh. Moreover, as recommended in the MSR, we strongly encourage a broad range government institutions and agencies to become more proactive in the peace process in Aceh. Implementation of this and many of the other recommendations in the MSR towards government, communities, donors and implementers, is one of the challenges that we now face. However, we are confident that together with a broad range of stakeholders, and the commitment of the Acehnese people, the numerous challenges can be overcome and peace in Aceh consolidated. Drs. Budi Utomo Dr. Suprayoga Hadi Mr. M.

  • HISTORY, AUTHORITY and POWER a Case of Religious Violence in Aceh
    JajatDOI: Burhanuddin 10.15642/JIIS.2014.8.1.112 -138 HISTORY, AUTHORITY AND POWER A Case of Religious Violence in Aceh Jajat Burhanudin1 UIN Syarif Hidayatullah, Jakarta – Indonesia | [email protected] Abstract: This article discusses the way Islam transformed into an ideology that potentially used as justification for violence. By analising the case of the murder of Teungku Ayub, leader of a small circle for basic religious learning (pengajian) in Bireun, Aceh, in 2012, the study reveals to the role of Islam as an ideology of mass movement to cleanse deviant tenet (aliran sesat) among the Acehnese. This is because of two reasons. First, the term of the veranda of Mecca (serambi Mekkah) remains considered as “holy word” in the Acehnese society today, which supports any Islamic agenda of purifying Aceh from aliran sesat. Secondly, the adoption of Islam into a formal body of state (Aceh province) represented by the implementation of Islamic law (sharīʻah). Both reasons above strengthen ulama in Aceh to facilitate the mass movement in the name of religion as well as the rationale background of the murder of Teungku Ayub. Keywords: ulama (teungku), Dien al Syariah, religious violence. Introduction This article attempts to shed light on the incident that took place in Biruen, a small town in Aceh, at 16 November 2012. It is located 1 I should thank to some people who assisted me during the field research in Aceh.

  • Population Displacement and Mobility in Sumatra After the Tsunami
    Population Displacement and Mobility in Sumatra after the Tsunami Clark Gray1, Elizabeth Frankenberg1, Thomas Gillespie2, Cecep Sumantri3, and Duncan Thomas1 August 2009 Abstract The Indian Ocean tsunami of December, 2004 was one of the most severe natural disasters in human history and resulted in extensive relocation by people living in damaged areas. We describe post-tsunami geographic mobility in the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra in Indonesia, the area worst-affected by the tsunami. Data from a unique longitudinal survey of 10,000 households who were interviewed both before and after the tsunami are used to quantify and map various dimensions of mobility and to provide insights into the individual, household and contextual factors that influence mobility. Levels of mobility increased dramatically with the extent of tsunami damage. Displacement from heavily damaged areas occurred primarily beyond the community of origin. Results from multivariate statistical models indicate that in damaged areas individuals were displaced similarly across demographic and socioeconomic lines, and that semi-voluntary decisions about mobility were influenced by household assets and prior livelihood strategies. Keywords: tsunami, disaster, displacement, migration, Indonesia. 1 Duke University, 2 UCLA, 3 SurveyMeter, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Acknowledgements This project is part of a large, collaborative effort and we would like to thank our colleagues Jed Friedman, Peter Katz, Nick Ingwersen, Iip Rif’ai, Bondan Sikoki and Wayan Suriastini for their input into this study and the broader project.

  • Contesting Boundaries in the Riau Archipelago
    CAROLE FAUCHER Contesting boundaries in the Riau Archipelago The fall of the New Order and the implementation of the regional autonomy laws have provided fresh opportunities for the local elite to promote and consolidate their own sphere of influence. As has already been the case in a number of provinces and districts, instances of conflict have spread, often in the context of power struggles and highly complex social and political restructurings (H. Schulte Nordholt 2002). In many cases, these conflicts are popularly articulated through the language of ethnic and religious identity politics. Similarly, ethnic and religious sensitivities which were consciously repressed during the period of the New Order, are now exposed. The Riau Archipelago (or Kepri from Kepulauan Riau) had been so far largely spared from acute tensions and mounting violence. However, among the urban middle class and between generations ideological polarization has taken place. The different attempts to conceptualize ‘Masyarakat Kepri’ – the society of Kepulauan Riau – by politicians and public intellectuals seems to demonstrate how an increasing emphasis on regional identity has gradually superseded a more general concern with the nation. The discussion about the character of the newly formed province of Kepri has oscillated over the past years between the aristocrats’ ideal of reverting to the era of the sultanate, and an image of an industrial oriented pluralistic society, advocated by business people, which is strong and autonomous enough to compete economically with Singapore and Malaysia. The proximity to Malaysia and Singapore has created an interesting para- dox. On one hand, Singapore and Malaysia have been a source of identity for the Malays in the Riau Archipelago as important economic and cultural power bases.

    U rban Patterns a n d Polities in M alay T rading C ities, Fifteenth thro ug h Seventeenth C enturies Claude Guillot Editor's Note: "Urban Patterns and Polities in Malay Trading Cities, Fifteenth through Seventeenth Centuries," was presented by Prof. Guillot as the Seventh Annual Frank H. Golay Memorial Lecture, April 7, 2005, in Ithaca, New York, sponsored by the Cornell Southeast Asia Program. In this talk, I would like briefly to describe Malay urban centers involved in international trade before European intervention brought about drastic changes in their polities. I shall attempt to scrutinize to what extent an analysis of their structures can be helpful for a better understanding of their social organizations, and try to show that their patterns reflect the opposite ideologies that clashed at the turn of the seventeenth century and led to a political revolution. Structures of Trading Cities I shall limit my analysis to only three port towns of the Malay world, namely Malacca on the Western coast of the Malay Peninsula, Banten on the west part of the northern Javanese coast, and Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra. This choice is based on two plain reasons: because at one moment or another during the period spanning from the fifteenth till the seventeenth centuries, these cities were the most important trade centers in the Malay archipelago, and because of their extensive commercial networks, we have at our disposal rather numerous and detailed sources, produced by the Malays themselves or by Chinese or European eyewitnesses, describing these cities; Indonesia 80 (October 2005) 40 Claude Guillot also, we are fortunate enough to have, among these documents, some contemporaneous maps, even if they may look like mere sketches.
