I am serious. Maybe you don't understand - but others do.
The 3 conflicts mentioned above have completely different dynamics.
The Indonesian military is incompetent and corrupt - it is a money making machine not a war fighting machine, and the GAM were a small, ineffective group; the Aceh conflict was ostensibly about independence but it really was about $$$. The Javanese were in Aceh to benefit from the natural resources (mainly wood, rubber and oil), including trafficking of marijuana. Many Indonesian generals walked away as multi-millionaires.
The Colombian FARC were a massive rebel army (at their peak): they were well armed, trained, and proficient in military operations, especially in intelligence gathering, unconventional operations (such as kidnapping for ransom) and guerrilla warfare - the GAM / AS / MILF are not. The war turned around 10 years ago, because the Colombians finally started accepting help from the US.
President Alvaro Uribe's government actually won the war militarily (by conducting cross border raids) and killing off the command structure - the last few years, the FARC have been nothing more than a minor nuisance - the truce came about so the government could repatriate all the military hostages - some of whom had been in captivity for over 10 years.
The Filipino 'rebel' groups are only a handful of poorly trained, poorly armed guerrillas isolated in a small area of the country, and the Filipino military is massive. Both sides benefit materially from keeping the 'conflict' ongoing.
Remember, war is business. I'll leave it at that ....
