Phrase
Cut Nyak Dien
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
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).
IThe 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
