 | | While estimates vary, approximately 230,000 people were killed by the earthquake and tsunami in Aceh, and about 400,000 were left homeless. | | | By 1904 most of Aceh was under Dutch control, and had an indigenous government that cooperated with the colonial state. | | | Aceh has substantial natural resources, including oil and gas - some estimates put Aceh gas reserves as being the largest in the world. |

| | Free Aceh Movement |
| | As of late 1996 the Government claimed that the "Aceh Merdeka" movement had been eliminated, although Aceh was still officially listed as one of Indonesia's three "trouble spots" (along with East Timor and Irian Jaya), and the Government issued public calls for the "rebels" to come home to their families. | | | A 9.0 earthquake on the floor of the Indian Ocean sent a massive tsunami towards the island of Sumatra, with Aceh bearing the brunt of its force as the land mass closest to the epicenter. | | | Many in Aceh claim that not enough of that money has been returned to the province for development. |

| | The di Tiro family asserted its claim to Aceh’s sultanate. | | | In fact, 2001 has been the worst year on record for deaths as a result of the violence that has occurred since GAM was founded; international NGOs estimate that around 1,500 have died this year, an estimated 70% of whom were noncombatants. | | | SIRA’s key demand has been to ask for a referendum on the issue of Aceh’s future, and on November 9, 1999, possibly one-fourth of the entire Acehnese population descended on the capital city of Banda Aceh to demand a referendum. |
