Abstract

This article talks about the existence Jaringan Aneuk Syuhada Aceh (Aneuk Syuhada Aceh Network – ASAN/JASA) group during OVID-19 pandemic and also era of disruption. Research is done in Nisam subdistrict, North Aceh regency with ethnography method and qualitative approach. Data were gathered with participatory observation technique, in-depth interview and study on related document. JASA is a community that are consisted of children and wives of martyrs involved in Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (Free Aceh Movement – FAM/GAM) who were deceased during political conflict that is still happening in Aceh. Not only is it dominated by children and wives of former GAM members; this group is also consisted of anyone with affiliation to the family with ties to GAM. As vulnerable group, JASA – without a doubt – has their own strategy of survival to preserve their passed down ideology. Preserving ideology and surviving so that it would continue to live amongst the society correlated with the ability to survive, economically and in socio-political aspect. From this research it was known that: firstly, JASA always promote themselves by contributing directly in various social events and utilize the development of informational technology as a form of “group campaign” to preserve existence; secondly JASA strengthen their affiliation with Komite Peralihan Aceh (Aceh Transitional Committee – ATC/KPA) and Aceh Party, two organizations with historical ties, as an effort to build up bargaining between the group of children-and-widows of these martyrs with local government in relations to peace compensation; and thirdly: JASA becomes one of the prioritized groups in every compensation distribution currently due to their status as vulnerable group.
