The bridge that I often cross

After taking care of the kids and my wife went to work. On the way I stopped at a bridge, I took a picture of a bridge that I often cross. I today is Wednesday. And I have to make a post on Community Wednesday Walk.

As a guest in this community I have to complete several tasks which is to make a mandatory post every Wednesday. Even though I couldn't walk further to the beautiful places, I thought a few were enough to capture the moment.

This bridge has important historical value for my country. It's not just a matter of when the bridge can function for the wheels of the economy, this bridge was once a stopover for ships. The river below is a transit point for large ships and warships.

Suspension Bridge to cross to the location of the GAM Militants headquarters

In the 14th century, traders from the Malbar Indies, China, Cambodia, and foreign traders from France also stopped at this bridge. They buy pepper in our country and sell it back to their country. The merchants were windows assigned as delegates from each country. However, it all ended in dissension and war.

Suspension Bridge of the Former Tempo Harbor

When this bridge was rebuilt after the Tsunami, the world looked back at the surrounding countryside. His name is Kuala Lheue Pidie Aceh. As this bridge was built, it was very easy for farmers, fishermen and traders to return a short distance bringing their wares back to the city.

I cross this bridge every day to make a living for my children. The idea of ​​building this road was carried out by GAM Militants in 2005, when they controlled government agencies. Once this road was built by the Dutch government in 1800. At that time the country of Aceh Darussalam was at its peak.

The kingdoms still controlled the surrounding area, before finally the arrival of the expansion of the Dutch troops to intensify attacks and colonization. However, from some parts of Indonesia. It was on this bridge that it all began and ended with the struggle for Free Aceh, which was used as the headquarters of the Free Aceh Movement, before the signing of the post-peace Mou Helsinki Finland August 15, 2005, which caused the humanitarian mission as a result of Aceh's collapse due to the Tsunami that devastated the country.
