Abstract On 27 June 2023, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) delivered a speech in the Rumoh Geudong in Pidie, Aceh. Between 1989 and 1998, when Aceh had the status of a Military Operations Area (Daerah Operasi Militer, DOM), this was a place where people were murdered and endured severe torture, including sexual torture. In his address the president promised to ‘heal the nation’.
