Disarm GAM

Disarm GAM

From Rakyat Merdeka

It is correct for many circles, including the political elite, religious leaders and social figures to perceive or even propose that the Acehnese separatists who joined the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) must be disarmed. If the Aceh issue is not dealt with quickly, more and more people will become victims.

In this context, I would like to call on the government to be highly sensitive to the people's aspirations and to order immediately the military and the police to disarm GAM members.

The use of firearms must be in compliance with the existing regulations and laws, i.e. special permits should be possessed by the users. Besides, their Indonesian military uniforms must also be removed so that they cannot misuse them as camouflage from the military proper.

Remember, with AK-47 automatic rifles and hand grenades, GAM openly attacked mobile brigade members who were riding on a truck, killing some of them. So speedy follow-up measures must be taken to prevent similar incidents.
