From 2007 until 2012, he was the mayor of the city of Sabang in Indonesia’s Aceh province. Munawar is also one of the founders of the Partei Nasional Aceh, a local political party in Aceh. In this video, he talks about his transition from being a combatant to becoming a political actor. He describes the challenges he encountered along the way and the support he received from the international community. He also shares the motives behind his political struggle, and how the transition from armed fighting to nonviolent political action contributes to sustainable peace in Aceh.
