RE: Aceh's Strategic Project Paradox and Slowing Economic Growth |

Does it matter if Aceh is behind? You can compare but are the situations/circumstances exactly the same? If there are more mouth the feed it might be wise to move or start a business yourself or stop having children like what happens in many countries. Welfare doesn't come if you worry day and night and cannot pay the bills not to mention the costs for raising a child.
If governments don't care it basically means you are thrown on yourself and the only solution is to be independent and take care of your own food and clothes so there's no need to buy food.

Interesting to see that you have cows we hardly have since we had cow madness years ago.

I start by responding to the question of whether it matters if Aceh is left behind. The same question can be asked of anyone in any province in any country.

For me, Aceh being left behind is very worrying. It is the same for Indonesia. As a former area of ​​armed conflict for 32 years and an area of ​​devastating tsunami disaster in 2004, getting out of being left behind is very important. The people of Aceh and Indonesia do not want Aceh to return to the way it was.

The Free Aceh Movement, took up arms against the government of the Republic of Indonesia for reasons of welfare. Aceh has abundant natural wealth in the fields of oil and gas, plantations, marine, and the Leuser forest is one of the lungs of the world.

When its people are left behind both economically and educationally, armed conflict will easily erupt again. I have been a journalist since 1997 and have witnessed the pain caused by armed conflict.

Thank you for your very insightful comments. Warm greetings from Aceh, Indonesia.
