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.
