8. CUT NYAK DHIEN
Cut Nyak Dhien was a leader of the Acehnese guerrilla
forces during the Aceh War. She was born in Lampadang in
1848. Following the death of her husband Teuku Umar, she led
guerrilla actions against the Dutch for 25 years. She was awarded
the title of Indonesian National Hero on 2 May 1964 by the
Indonesian government.
Cut Nyak Dhien was born into an Islamic aristocratic
family in Aceh Besar. Her father, Teuku Nanta Setia, was a
member of the ruling Ulee Balang aristocrstic class in VI mukim,
and her mother was also from an aristocratic family. She was
educated in religion and household matters. She was renowned
for her beauty, and many men proposed to marry her. Finally, she
married Teuku Cik Ibrahim Lamnga, the son of an aristocratic
family, when she was twelve.
9. On 26 March 1873, the Dutch declared war on Aceh. In
November 1873, during the Se-cond Aceh Expedition, the Dutch
successfully captured VI mukmin in 1873, followed by the
Sultan’s Palace in 1874. In 1875,Cut Nyak Dhien and her baby,
along with other mothers, were evacuated to a safer location
while her husband Ibrahim Lamnga fought to reclaim VI mukim.
Lamnga died in action on June 29, 1878. Hearing this, Cut Nyak
Dhien was enraged and swore to destroy the Dutch.
Some time later, Teuku Umar proposed to marry her.
Learing that Teuku Umar would allow her to fight, she accepted
his proposal. They were married in 1880. This greatly boosted
the morale of Aceh armies in their fight against Dutch. Teuku
Umar and Cut Nyak Dhien had a daughter, Cut Gambang.
10. The war continued, and the Acehnese declared Holy War
against the Dutch, and were engaged in guerrilla warfare.
Undersupplied, Teuku Umar surrendered to the Dutch force on
September 30 , 1893 along with 250 of his men. The Dutch army
welcomed him and appointed him as a commander, giving him
the title of Teuku Umar Johan Pahlawan. However, Teuku Umar
secretly planned to betray the Dutch. Two years later Teuku
Umar set out to assault Aceh, but he instead deserted with his
troops taking with them heavy equipment, weapons, and
ammunition, using these supplies to help the Acehnese. This is
recorded in Dutch history as “Het verraad van Teukue Oemar” (
the treason of Teuku Umar ).
The Dutch general Johannes Benedictus Van Heutsz sent a
spy to Aceh. Teuku Umar was killed during a battle when the
Dutch launched a surprise attack on him in Meulaboh. When Cut
Gambang cried over his death, Cut Nyak Dhien slapped her and
then she hugged her and said : “ As Acehnese women, we may
not shed tears for those who have been martyred”.
11. After her husband died, Cut Nyak Dhien continued to resist
the Dutch with her small army until its destruction in 1901, as the
Dutch adapted their tactics to the situation in Aceh. Furthermore,
Cut Nyak Dhien suffered from nearsightedness and arthritis as
she got older. The number of her troops was also decreasing and
they suffered from lack supplies.
One of her troops, Pang Laot, told the Dutch the location of
her headquarters in Beutong Le Sageu. The Dutch attacked,
catching Dhien and her troops by surprise. Despite desperately
fighting back, Dhien was captured. Her daughter, Cut Gambang,
escaped and continued the resistance. Dhien was brought to
Banda Aceh and her myopia and arthritis slowly healed, but in
the end she was exiled to Sumedang, West Java because the
Dutch were afraid she would mobilize the resistance of Aceh
people. She died on 6 November 1908.
