Din Minimi is a legendary aceh leader, The details of Din Minimi story are mainly composed of folklore and Din Minimi is a central figure in the story making up the so-called Matter of Aceh.
Din Minimi say "I am willing to turn myself in because what I proclaim and what I demand are positive things," by telephone interview on Tuesday. He said that he had been willing to come out from his hideaway following guarantees from President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo himself that his demands would be considered by the government. He had a telephone conversation with Jokowi three days ago.
"After receiving guarantees from the President, I was willing to surrender to the government."
"I demand that the government implement a thorough reintegration, and take care of the orphans and widows of former [GAM] combatants as stipulated in the Helsinski peace agreement,” he said, referring to the treaty that ended the conflict between GAM and the Indonesian government.
The government also granted Din's group an amnesty on all charges, another factor in his decision to surrender. "My conduct will not be considered as a crime and we will receive an amnesty from the government," he said. The process of his submission had been going on for two weeks, starting with Din contacting with Juha Christensen, a former member of the Aceh Monitoring Mission, which was actively involved in the peace agreement in Helsinski in 2005.
After intensive communication, Din and Christensen agreed that Din's case would be presented directly to Jokowi.
According to a report from the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) titled "Din Minimi: The Strange Story of an Armed Group in Aceh, Indonesia",
Din, born Nurdin bin Ismail Amat, was born in Keude Buloh village in Julok, East Aceh, 37 years ago.
He is the first of four brothers and his father, known as Abu Minimi after the machine gun (mini-mitrailleuse) he carried in the conflict, was a prominent GAM fighter who was killed sometime before president Soeharto fell in 1998.
The IPAC report criticized the portrayal of Din as a Robin Hood figure who abducted corruptors and drug dealers and used the ransom money to assist orphans and widows neglected by the GAM leaders now in power.
Din shot to fame in 2014 as he opened access to journalists, delivering a consistent message that the GAM-led Aceh government had failed to fulfill its promises to former combatants. Male theu sabe kedro droe gob nyang peseleso "
