She was involved in the ACEH affair in Indonesia as a:

Chief Press, Protocol and Information Officer Aceh Monitoring Mission (AMM) September 2005 – March 2006 (7 months) http://www.aceh-mm.org/: On 15 December 2006, the EU-led Aceh Monitoring Mission (AMM) completed its mandate of monitoring and supporting the peace process in the Indonesian province of Aceh. The AMM has monitored the implementation of various aspects of the peace agreement set out in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) on 15 August 2005 in Helsinki, Finland. The AMM was a civilian crisis management mission which consisted of monitors from the European Union and five ASEAN contributing countries. http://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstenmogensen

The ACEH was a revolutionary Islamist group in Indonesia:

On 27 February 2005, the Free Aceh Movement and the delegation of the Indonesian government started another round of peace talks in Vantaa, Finland, moderated by former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari.[9] On 16 July 2005, the Indonesian Minister of Communication and GAM announced a peace deal to end the thirty-year insurgency. The peace agreement was officially signed on 15 August by chief Indonesian negotiator Hamid Awaluddin and GAM leader Malik Mahmud.[1] Under the terms of the agreement, both sides agreed to cease all hostilities immediately. GAM also agreed to disarm, while the Government pledged to withdraw all non-local military and police by the end of 2005. An Aceh Monitoring Mission was set up by the EU and ASEAN to oversee the process of disarmament and the reintegration into society of GAM members.[10] A presidential decree granted amnesty to about five hundred former GAM members who were in exile in other countries, and unconditionally released about 1,400 members who had been jailed by the Government.[citation needed]

With her speciality being journalism, and her ties being journalism, one can only anticipate that she is immediately tied into media outlets for a reason.

Your work is stellar and is more complete than I can manage. Would you consider doing the most contested states (swing states)? You, alone, may be turning the UN tide. These are getting crossposted to Facebook and may go viral.
