Insurgency in Aceh

Insurgency in Aceh happened when a group of people called the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) did not want to follow the rules that the Indonesian government made for them. They wanted to be treated fairly and to have their own country.

The Indonesian government did not like that, so they fought against the GAM. This fighting went on for many years, and many people were hurt or killed.

After a while, both sides realized that fighting was not the best way to solve their problems, so they started talking and came up with some agreements. These agreements said that the GAM could have more control over their own area, but they would still be a part of Indonesia.

Now, there is peace in Aceh, and people can live without fear of violence and conflict. This was achieved by talking and trying to understand each other's needs and goals, instead of just fighting.
