Went to SomaliaReport on Volunteer Kidnapping Was False: Aisha Never 
Arientha Primanita & Farouk Arnaz | September 09, 2011


What seemed to be a real-life hero story took an unexpected turn when it 
emerged that a volunteer who was reportedly kidnapped in Somalia had never even 
traveled to the war-torn African nation. 

Aisha Wardhana, who claimed to be a doctor who volunteered for aid organization 
Rapid Relief Action (ACT), became an overnight sensation after reports from 
social media and blogs suggested she was kidnapped and wounded in Somalia. 

Syuhelmaidi Syukur, an ACT official involved in the Indonesian Committee for 
Somali Solidarity, said he and several ACT members had a meeting with Aisha at 
a restaurant in Karawang to clarify the report. 

“[On Wednesday] she apologized to us and said that she had never been to 
Somalia,” he told the Jakarta Globe on Thursday. “But she did not tell us why.” 

Syuhelmaidi said Aisha was not an ACT member, but rather a volunteer. 

With news spreading of Aisha’s misadventure, the ACT felt disrupted in its 
work. 

“We have so many duties and our main concern is humanitarian aid, but now we 
have to deal with this,” said Syuhelmaidi, who noted that the organization also 
worked to help earthquake victims in Singkil, Aceh, as well as people suffering 
from hunger in East Nusa Tenggara . 

In a text message to the Jakarta Globe, Aisha said she had given an interview 
to a tabloid. 

“I choose to remain silent,” she said. “Sorry.” 

Bustanul Arifin, who was first reported as Aisha’s husband, also spoke up. He 
said that, based on her identification card, Aisha’s real name is Caroline 
Ruhning Tyassasanti and she lives in Karawang, West Java. 

“I am not her husband, but we were in a relationship,” he told the Globe. 

He said he first met Aisha during their volunteer work in Yogyakarta during the 
Mount Merapi eruption in 2010. They met again in January the next year and 
began their relationship a month later. 

Bustanul said Aisha introduced herself as a plastic surgeon who studied in 
Japan, but he could not confirm the truth of her assertion. 

He said Aisha went to his hometown in Central Java to say goodbye before 
departing for humanitarian work in Somalia, though she did not explain how she 
would get there or what flight she would take. 

“Now I am very disappointed for being lied to,” Bustanul said. “I want her to 
publicly explain everything.” 

Dr. Slamet Budiarto, the secretary general of the Indonesian Doctors 
Association (IDI), said there was no doctor registered with the name of 
Caroline Ruhning Tyassasanti. 

“We don’t have that name here, but that could be because our representatives 
don’t report all the names to us,” he said. 

Police said Aisha could be charged with “telling the public a lie,” but someone 
would have to file a report against her. 

“However, we are not expecting that,” National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. 
Anton Bachrul Alam said. “It will be enough if we summon her and ask her not to 
do that again.
