>>> History

Haji Siobang was a Minangkabau figure who played an important role in the war against the Padri in West Sumatra in the 19th century. Siobang was a cleric who played an important role in forming and leading the resistance movement against the Padri movement which is considered an extremist movement and endangers the religion and traditional traditions of the Minangkabau people.

The role of Haji Siobang in the war against the Padri in West Sumatra was very important in maintaining the integrity and existence of the Minangkabau people's religion and traditional traditions. Haji Siobang and his troops succeeded in expelling the Padri movement from the territories they had captured and strengthened the authority of the Dutch colonial government in West Sumatra.

Haji Siobang led a war troop known as Laskar Siobang which consisted of Minangkabau fighters armed with traditional weapons such as kampilan, spears, and daggers. The Siobang Troops succeeded in winning several important battles against the Paderi movement, including the battles at Tabek Patah, Bukit Marapalam, and Padang Lawas regency.
