‘Many promises of aid, but that’s all — promises’

IN Indonesia’s Aceh province on Sumatra island, one survivor dismissively gestured at a jumble of scrap iron and plastic sheeting — all that remains of his neighbourhood.

"You want to talk about changes, we've seen nothing," said Baihqi, 24. "Many promises of aid, but that's all we get promises."

Of the anniversary, he said: "It just means we've existed for one year. We're still around."
