My beloved people of Acheh, Assalamu’alaikum!
 oday,
December 4, 2003, we celebrate the 27th year of our proclamation to
the world of the independence of the Achenese people from the yoke of
Indonesian colonialism. Last November 19th, we passed the 6th month
mark of the Indonesian colonial regime’s imposition of its Martial Law
on our country that coincided with its launching of the biggest ever
military aggression in the history of Acheh.
This evil action was undertaken by the Indonesian neo-colonialist
regime after they sabotaged the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA)
in the Joint Council (JC) meeting in Tokyo on May 17-18 2003. We
recall how on May 19, Indonesian political and military leaders
arrogantly drumming their assurances that they would crush the Free
Acheh Movement (GAM) and our Acheh National Armed Forces (TNA) within
less than 6 months. Then they presented the scenario of a massive
attack by 50,000 additional troops comprising of all their prided
elite military and police (TNI/POLRI) assault forces deploying the
most modern land, sea and air weaponry they had in their arsenal.

After continuously attacking our TNA fighters for 6 months, they
have had to acknowledge that they have failed to realize their
objective to crush our military and popular defense front. Indeed,
this is a great victory for the people that we all can be proud of.
The fighting spirit that we inherited from our forefathers, the
capability and capacity to sacrifice of our TNA fighters with all the
popular support, proved to be mightier than the combined TNI/Polri
forces. At this moment of triumph, we cannot but remember the words of
the Dutch MP, Ijzerman, in a parliamentary debate on Acheh in the
Dutch Parliament on 5-6 November 1907: "The Achenese have a brilliant
history and tradition as an independent nation. Their enemies may be
able to kill their Sultan or leaders, but their Nation and Government
will remain intact".
On this occasion We call on all the people of Acheh to be mindful
of the evil efforts of the Indonesian leaders to try to break our
unity. In this attempt, they are using the services of a few Achenese
who seem to be pleased to be their collaborators or members of their
band of traitors. We take this opportunity to remind these groups to
reconsider their stance, if they are really happy to be traitors to
their own people or choose to be proud patriots of their nation. We
call on every member of TNA and all the people of Acheh to pray and to
continue our sacred struggle against the tyrannic and cruel Indonesian
colonial regime until independence is achieved.
Nasrun minallaahi wa fathun qariib!
Wassalam, Merdeka!
