Indonesia Forced Colonial War II on Acheh

Tokyo meeting has failed to resist Indonesian colonialist ambition to launch war against the Achenese people. The was desire of the Indonesian colonial government actually has been quite obvious since they released an ultimatum and then arrested GAM negotiators who were going to leave for Tokyo.

With the failure of the meeting, probably in a few more hours Indonesian colonialists will announce their dirty plan to attack the Achehnese people. Even though they say that they are coming to Acheh Territory to protect the Achehnese people, the facts in the field indicate that they are no more than lethal killers and rapers of the Achehnese people.

 International community that has nursed the birth of Tokyo meeting has expressed their sympathy to the Achehnese people and GAM delegates, who have been patient and much compromised but without matching attitude on the part Indonesian colonialist delegates. International community has also stated that if war breaks out in Acheh, it is not the guilty of the Achehnese people; it is the result of the monstrous greed of the Indonesia-Java colonialilsts.  

 The Acheh National Armed Forces will fight until the territory of Acheh and the Nation of Acheh retrieve its independence. The Commando-in-chief the Acheh National Armed Forces calls on all the Achehnes people to abide by the safety guidelines that the Central Military Information Bureau of the State of Acheh some time ago. General strike will be started on the date and at the time the Indonesian colonialist government announces its military operation,whatever such operation is named. All institutes and instalations belonging to Indonesian colonialist government must be emptied except hospitals. All fuel depots and stations must be closed. People in the villages, when there is no military operation can continue with their usual activities but must be highly alert and watchful. 

 The Commando-in-chief of the Acheh National Armed Forces would like to express unmeasurable thanks to H.E. Ambassador of the US, Ralph L. Boyce who has tried hard by making himself present in Tokyo in the effort to save the peace process in Acheh. Our respect also is kindly extended to H.E. Ambassador of Japan, Yutaka, H.E. Ambassador of Greece who represents European Union, the high ranking official of the World Bank, and the "International Wisemen" who have exerted all their energy to change the recalcitrance of the Indonesian colonialists,though all this has resulted in no success.
