| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Indonesian military 'invasion' of Aceh on 19 May 2003 marked the collapse of a peace process initiated discreetly by the Henri Dunant Centre three years earlier. This process had culminated in the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA) between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM), which came into effect on 9 December 2002. Although far apart in their interpretations of the COHA, the two sides implemented an effective peace in cooperation with Filipino and Thai military facilitators. Before discussing the peace, the article traces the shifts that led to the widespread alienation from Jakarta from 1999. |
