Tsunami disaster on December 26, 2004, is one of the reasons that helps alleviate vertical armedconflict in Aceh province to the point "O", which was marked by the signing of MoU for peace in Helsinki, Finland on August 14, 2005 between the Government of Indonesia and Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM) or Movement for Aceh Independence. This has a fundamental and comprehensive impact on changing social conditions which has led to stability in all areas of development in politic, socio-cultural Economy and security, as well as the way government administration has been ruled from provincial to village level which could not run normally for about 30 years. <br /> <br /> <br /> Up to now, however, the problem of Aceh still leaves a phenomenon in which GAM is not willingness to disband the organization with the reason as the stake holder for peace. This can be seen from several indicators such as the persistence of regional commanders, commander of the sago, and many others that can give impact to the disruption of the implementation process of reintegration of GAM into society (contrary to the Helsinki MoU point 3.2.3). Another indicator is that since the signing of the Helsinki MoU, GAM seemed still use the organization symbols, especially in certain rituals such as GAM anniversary is celebrated on each of December 4, and also KPA in his official letters still uses the logo / symbol ASNLF / GAM (contrary to Helsinki MoU points 4.2) . <br /> <br /> <br /> This shows that the GAM was reluctant to disperse and still maintain a conflict culture. Observing this phenomenon, it is interesting to do research to investigate to what extent the development of GAM desire in doing transformation from an armed struggle to political struggle, and what is their political policy post- Helsinki MoU which is limited in the period 2005 - 2009 and also estimation of GAM political policy in the post-2009. <br /> <br /> <br /> By using the theories such as state theory, conflict theory, theory of Change Management, and a number of scientific definitions of the policy analysis carried out by GAM based on the existing facts and findings, the analysis using the tools to draw a conclusion is then performed. This thesis will answer the scientific question of: what is the political stance of GAM post-Helsinki MoU during period 2005 - 2009 and where will GAM's political direction after 2009? This thesis will also provide a number of recommendations regarding the issues raised. The proposed recommendations are expected to be useful for the government in policy making strategic policies related to the future and the interests of the Aceh people as a whole towards the better.
