Description
The giant waves that engulfed Indonesia's Aceh province on December 26, 2004, killing tens of thousands of people, paved the way for an end to three decades of conflict.

Pressure on all sides brought the rebels and Jakarta closer, allowing a peace to be brokered that has endured ever since. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
