Limit to NS’ auxiliary role - 2 --- E.g. The ICRC provided humanitarian aid to both the victims of armed conflict in Aceh, Indonesia, as well as the non-state armed groups. During my field visits, I didn’t remember seeing anyone from the NS or NGOs in the villages suspected as pro-separatist movement in the past, but ICRC left ‘humanitarian footprints’ in the most isolated places. That was about 2 years after the Peace Agreement was signed in 2005. But the Indonesian Red Cross has been very active in disaster responses in other places in Indonesia.
