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 Ulèë Balang aristocratic
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.
On 26 March 1873,
the Dutch declared war on Aceh. In November 1873, during the Se-cond Aceh
Expedition, the Dutch successfully captured VI mukim 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. Learning 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.
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 forces 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 Teukoe 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.”
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 of 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.
