SogataExplore #2 : what do you know about Aceh ?

Dear Steemit Friend : . . . . . .

Have you ever heard ACEH? I think you are familiar with aceh. what's more on this platform, a lot of people coming from aceh. I am also one of the steemit users coming from aceh.

What do you know about aceh? aceh is an area located at the western tip of sumatra island, southeast asia. Based on data from wikipedia, Aceh has an area of about 58,377 km² with a population of 4.500.000 inhabitants.

Is aceh a country?

For the time being Aceh has not yet become a country, Aceh is still a part of the State of Indonesia. Nevertheless, Aceh had experienced its heyday in the royal period before Indonesian independence. The kingdom of Aceh is one of the largest Islamic empires in Southeast Asia.

The kingdom of aceh has an important role in fighting for Indonesian independence. As has been mentioned in history, the Aceh Region is an area of Indonesia that has never been successfully colonized. Portuguese, Dutch and even japan ever tried to enter and colonize aceh. But the people of Aceh succeeded in chasing and defeating them.

How is Aceh now?

As I have explained above, Aceh experienced a glorious period in the past. But now, Aceh is under the leadership of Indonesia. So now Aceh is not as famous as it used to be.

Although Aceh is within the territory of Indonesia, Aceh has special autonomy rights and has the right to regulate its own territory. Unlike other provinces in Indonesia, Aceh is the only province that is granted special autonomy by Indonesia.

Aceh is also one of the areas with 100% of its population is Muslim. I can be sure that everyone who is born of Acehnese is Muslim, except some who leave Islam. So when you visit aceh you will see a very strong Islam from aceh society. That is all and thank you.
