Whither Aceh?

Article Abstract:

This article examines the economic development of Aceh, Indonesia during the Suharto regime. The author argues poverty stricken Aceh developed into a very wealthy area during Suharto's regime, however, the residents claimed they did not benefit from the economic growth and responded by supporting the Free Aceh Movement, which fueled Suharto's human rights violations and created a conflict that still continues.
