"It costs a lot of money to run a big campaign, and Indonesia's economy is weak," says a slight, soft-spoken G.A.M. representative who calls himself Tengku, a common honorific in Aceh. "We can wait until the money runs out. We have fought them for 27 years. We can fight on for three times that long until the Indonesians finally get tired and go home."
