The Free Aceh Movement (Indonesian: Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM; Acehnese: Acèh Meurdèka, Husaini: Atjèh Meurdèka), known internationally as the Acheh-Sumatra National Liberation Front (ASNLF), was a separatist group seeking independence for the province of Aceh of Sumatra, Indonesia. GAM fought against Indonesian government forces in the Aceh insurgency from 1976 to 2005. Estimates of the death toll total over 15,000 people killed.
The organisation surrendered its separatist intentions and dissolved its armed wing following the 2005 peace agreement with the Indonesian government, and subsequently changed its name into Aceh Transition Committee (Indonesian: Komite Peralihan Aceh, KPA). The Indonesian government called the group the Aceh Security Disturbance Movement.
