Cut Nyak Dhien

Cut Nyak Dhien is an Indonesian National Hero from Aceh who fought against the Dutch during the Aceh War . After the territory of VI Mukim was attacked, he fled, while her husband Ibrahim Lamnga fought against the Dutch. Ibrahim Lamnga died in Gle Tarum on 29 June 1878 which caused Cut Nyak Dhien to be very angry and vowed to destroy the Dutch.

Cut Nyak Dhien with Teuku Umar fought together against the Dutch. However, Teuku Umar died while attacking Meulaboh on February 11, 1899, so he fought alone in the interior of Meulaboh with his small army. Cut Nyak Dien was old and had gout and myopic disease, so one of his troops named Pang Laot reported his existence by pity.

He was eventually arrested and taken to Banda Aceh. There he was treated and his illness began to heal. However, its existence adds to the spirit of resistance of the people of Aceh. He is also still in touch with the Acehnese warriors who have not been caught yet. As a result, Dhien was banished to Sumedang. Cut Nyak Dhien died on November 6, 1908 and was buried in Mount Puyuh, Sumedang. The name Cut Nyak Dhien is now immortalized as Cut Nyak Dhien Nagan Raya Airport in Meulaboh.
