PRAYER and praise often began the opening of the speech. Muhammad Hasan Ditiro on each visit in Pidie District.
The fourth day of the supreme leadership of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). Tgk. Muhammad Hasan Ditiro, residing in his hometown, took his time visiting the village of Pulo Mesjid, Kec, Tangse, Kab, Pidie, Friday (17/10). As always, in every visit, hundreds of people have stood by the side of the road.
They waved to the entourage of Wali Nanggroe, who had long since retired abroad. Occasionally I heard the call to prayer from the crowd. Hasan Ditiro and his entourage keep on walking while waving hands and seyum towards the people who have been faithful standing on the edge under the scorching eyes of the morning in the area surrounded by hill rows.
During his visit, Hasan Ditiro and his entourage took a pilgrimage to the three tombs of the heroes of Aceh who were martyred in 1908 against the Dutch colonial army, the grave Tgk. Maet, Tgk. Maat and Tgk's grave. Husen. For Wali Nanggroe, Tangse is the most impressive area. Because in that area, he made many history of his struggle.
Hasan Ditiro also spent much of his childhood in the area. Even according to the story of the residents there, grave families of the guardians are in Tangse area. Another thing that becomes nostalgia for Hasan Ditiro is, the top of Mount Halimun covered with clouds, clearly visible when we stand in Pulo Mesjid Village, Tangse.
Mount Halimun is where Dr. Muhammad Hasan Ditiro and his friends proclaimed Independence Aceh in 1976. It is said that some former GAM members of the Tangse region, to Waspada on the sidelines of escorting the visit of Wali Nanggroe, Dr. Muhammad Hasan Ditiro had established a school on the mountain top.
Until now the story of former GAM reluctant to mention his name, said, at the top of Halimun is still flying a piece of Aceh Independence flag installed Hasan Ditiro, before he and some of his friends alienated abroad. "The flag of nyan hana is broken. Sampoe uroenyoe baggy na flutter, "the story of former GAM Tangse, who claimed he had hide from the pursuit of the apparatus during the conflict in the forest Halimun.
Mount Halimun has now become a legend for the people of Aceh. According to Tgk. Sofyan Muhammad, 50 residents of Pulo Mesjid Village, it is not easy for us to reach the top of Halimun. In the Mt. Halimun forest it has a world life other than the real world. Many people who intend evil to enter the forest Halimun, in the middle of the journey lost, so that after a long time the lost person was found dead rotting in the middle of the forest by people who are looking for firewood or rattan.
"There are also people who mean well, but in the way he lost. He will encounter a settlement of people living in peace. The residents will help us provide food and resting places like bale-bale pengajian.
Then they are residents of other realms, will help us out of their village, after we wake up from sleep, "said Tgk. Sofyan who claimed he had found some people who claim to get lost in the forest Halimun, then the person news to him.
