  "account": "President Prabowo Subianto made a visit to Aceh on Wednesday to oversee the unfurling of a 24-kilometer-long national flag. This display followed a deadly clash in Pidie regency just a week earlier, where an Acehnese man was shot dead. The flag unfurling took place as tensions rose, coinciding with National Heroes Day on November 10. Prabowo was met by over 12,000 people lining the roadside, holding a giant red-and-white flag that stretched from the airport to the mosque in Nagan Raya regency. The event aimed to bolster patriotism and nationalism. Upon arrival at the Baitul 'Ala Mosque, Prabowo expressed his appreciation for the residents' warm reception and the massive flag display, which commemorated the regency's 24th anniversary. He also addressed the government's ongoing recovery efforts following the deadly floods and landslides of the previous year.",
