East Timor: Still hoping on the Independence Day · Global Voices
Paula Góes

FORUM HAKSESUK [pt] posts an article by Jorge Heitor about the anniversary of the independence of East Timor, and the uncertainty about the future. “Six years of independence for a suffering people, which has not yet fully met the freedom and development”. East Timor democratic self-government was achieved on May 20, 2002 after 24 years of occupation by Indonesia, and 3 years of UN governance.
