Ten years on, how they rebuilt Aceh from the mud of the Tsunami
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2867055/Indonesia-rebuilds-stunning-series-images-country-risen-ashes-tsunami-decade-on.html


The Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 killed more than 230,000 people in 14 countries, when waves up to 100ft high swept in over Southeast Asia, displacing millions and destroying infrastructure worth billions. The worst hit country, the archipelago nation of Indonesia, suffered more death and destruction than any other, when the Indian Ocean earthquake was followed by a tsunami on December 26, 2004.

Ten years later, communities in Indonesia's Aceh province have rebuilt their homes, towns and villages, rising from the mud of the single worst tsunami in human history.

This is what happens when a terrorist dictatorship isn't in control. Arge Bam, Khoramshahr, Ardebil etc... are all still the same after their natural and man made disasters, yet we brought in over a trillion dollars over the past 2-3 decades from oil sales. Now compare those cities to these Indonesian examples (Indonesia isn't even a developed country so you have no excuse Haman).
 
Without forgetting the pain inflicted, tsunami has been a gift and a great lesson for Aceh and Indonesia. It brings people together and it allow peace agreement achieved.

Dude, you should read the book "Mein Kampf" to see how a devastated country can emerge into a global power just in few years.
 
Within just 10 years, Aceh manage to rebuild the city from the catastrophe brought in by the tsunami. It is an impressive development.

With peace already settled in place. Supported by clean & powerful reconstruction agency under president authority, speedy recovery can be achieved. Hope the best for philippines cities affected by typhoon haiyan and most recently typhoon ruby.
 
God Bless Indonesia! Good to see the development of Banda Aceh.
