But continued Iskandar, the goal is to build East Aceh as a whole, without any difference from one another.
“Our goal is to build East Aceh as a whole without any differences,” said Al-Farlaky, at the East Aceh KIP office, Thursday, August 29, 2024.
He invited KPA, community leaders, and clever people and all those who had joined the Al-Farlaky T Zainal winning team, to jointly carry out polite politics, not stepping on each other and oppressing each other.
“Let’s both move our hands and contribute our thoughts to build our beloved East Aceh,” added Iskandar Usman Al-Farlaky.
Al-Farlaky emphasized that he would not be able to work alone to develop East Aceh, if not supported by all parties.

Aceh Athletes Train in Kazan: Cultural Exchange and Experience Toward Achievement
From August 12 to 30, 2024, seven athletes coached by KONI Aceh along with an official traveled far to the city of Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.
Their mission was to attend training camps for two sports, Fencing and Sambo, in preparation for the XXI National Sports Week which will be held in Aceh and North Sumatra Provinces from September 8 to 20, 2024.
Upon arrival in Kazan on August 12, 2024, the athlete delegation was warmly welcomed by the Deputy Minister of Sports of the Republic of Tatarstan, Mr. Raif Risyadovic.
The handover was conducted by His Majesty the Wali Nanggroe of Aceh, who symbolically handed over the athletes to the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan.
This marked the start of the intensive training program, as well as the first step of a fruitful exchange of experiences between the two nations.
The first week in Kazan was used by the athletes to acclimatize to the new environment. The different climate, unfamiliar language, and unique culture were all part of the challenge.
However, the high spirits they brought with them from their homeland made them adapt quickly. On August 18, they were moved to the training camp center at Saba Arena School, Sabinsky District, Tatarstan.
RSSHOR Fencing Director, Ildar Shaimardanov, welcomed the Acehnese athletes. The players have a good level of skill and physical fitness, but there is no limit to perfection.
“The Republic of Tatarstan has a good fencing school, and we are ready to share our experience with other athletes,” he said.
The training program is designed with two main focuses. First, general physical training to improve the athletes’ overall fitness. Secondly, specialized training that focuses on honing techniques, movements, fighting tactics, and learning new techniques introduced by the coaches in Tatarstan.
“This is a golden opportunity for Acehnese athletes to explore strategies and techniques that they may not have encountered before,” he said.
Moreover, the athletes were also given the opportunity to train with local athletes from the Sabinsky and Kazan City districts.
This allowed them to gauge each other’s skills, learn from each other, and exchange knowledge. Their presence in Tatarstan was not just about improving their competition techniques, but also about building friendly relationships that could benefit both sides in the future.
During the two weeks of training, the athletes worked hard to overcome their own limitations. They took part in rigorous physical training in the morning, learned new moves in special training sessions, and practiced techniques with their Russian counterparts.
Every day they faced new challenges, but each challenge also brought them closer to their goal: to be the best at the national event.
Their presence in Kazan is not just about competition preparation. It is a rare opportunity to experience training under international coaches, understand new training methods, and experience the atmosphere of competition abroad.
“All of this is expected to have a positive impact on improving the quality of the athletes and strengthening their mentality to face future challenges,” he explained.
As a team, they learned that the journey to success is not a solo one. It is a journey of coming together, supporting each other, and sharing experiences to achieve the same dream. And in Kazan, they discovered that passion, dedication, and hard work is a universal language that all athletes around the world understand.
When they returned home, they brought more than just new techniques. They brought with them a renewed spirit, greater confidence, and valuable experience that will serve them well as they strive for victory in the XXI National Sports Week.
“With this, they hope to give their best for Aceh, and for Indonesia,” he concluded.
