  • Armed Groups and Diplomacy: East Timor’S FRETILIN Guerrillas
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 4 Armed Groups and Diplomacy: East Timor’s FRETILIN Guerrillas Gene Christy The Red Cross Bell helicopter flew low along the south coast. It was dry season. Only a few wispy clouds hovered over the nearby mountains. Visibility was great. Several hun- dred feet below, tin roofs gleamed from new villages strung along the coast road. A few Timorese looked up and waved. Most kept at their daily tasks. The scene made one won- der where FRETILIN guerrillas could hide.1 Maybe they were just a few thieves and thugs as officials in Jakarta and Dili were saying in 1983. Our stops in Ainaro and Viqueque had been uneventful. It was after lunch, but chil- dren greeted us with cries of “selamat pagi” (good morning). They were going to the new Indonesian schools. Warehouses were stocked with USAID corn and cooking oil.2 Afew shops had Pepsi and packaged ramen noodles. Not exactly a famine, we thought. There might still be problems, but food supplies and security in the south seemed much im- proved. The report to Washington would be positive. Suddenly, the helicopter lurched upward. It turned out over the water. The pilot an- nounced we could not stop in Los Palos. Something about an attack on soldiers at a weekly market, he said. Flying higher over the mountains than before, he set course north to Baucau. The pilot set down in a military compound. He promised to return after refueling at a nearby airfield. The Indonesian commander welcomed his two unexpected guests.

    A Tape Recorder and a W ink? Transcript of the May 29, 1983, M eeting between G overnor Carrascalao and Xanana G usmao Introduction and translation by Douglas Kammen On March 23, 1983, more than seven years after the Indonesian invasion of Portuguese Timor, the Indonesian sub-regional military commander in East Timor, Colonel Purwanto, met with the leader of the Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor (Frente Revolucionaria de Timor-Leste Independente, abbreviated Fretilin), Jose Alexandre "Kay Rala Xanana" Gusmao, and agreed to a temporary ceasefire. This was a truly extraordinary development. Indonesian officials had long insisted that the 1976 act of "integration" was final and irreversible. With the fall of the last Fretilin base areas in the eastern sector in October 1978 and in the western sector in early 1979, the Indonesian military (ABRI) believed that the resistance had been reduced to a mere one hundred rebels, who were now euphemistically referred to as a "band of security disturbers" (gerombolan pengacau keamanan). In 1981, ABRI mobilized at least 60,000 civilians to sweep across the territory to flush out those remaining individuals. And in mid-January 1983, Colonel Purwanto told journalists that "the band of [security] disturbers in East Timor, who are the remnants of Fretilin forces, have no more than one hundred weapons and five hundred members."1 And yet, the resistance not only 1 Paraphrased in "Gangguan Fretilin Sudah Tidak Berarti, Timor Timur Terbuka Untuk Dikunjungi," Sinar Harapan, January 15,1983.

  • Birds of Atauro Island, Timor-Leste (East Timor)
    FORKTAIL 20 (2004): 41–48 Birds of Atauro Island, Timor-Leste (East Timor) COLIN R. TRAINOR and THOMAS SOARES Atauro island, Timor-Leste, lies between Timor,Wetar and Alor in the Lesser Sundas, but its avifauna was previously unknown. Five visits totalling 12 days in 2003–2004 resulted in 84 bird species being recorded. These included Timor Green Pigeon Treron psittacea (Endangered), Black Cuckoo Dove Turacoena modesta (Vulnerable) and four Near Threatened species: Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon Ducula rosacea, Beach Thick-knee Esacus neglectus, Malaysian Plover Charadrius peronii and Orange-sided Thrush Zoothera peronii.The avifauna appears to be most closely related to that of Timor, with the exception that the Olive-brown Oriole Oriolus melanotis is repre- sented by the Wetar race (finschi).

  • Women's Perceptions of Gender and Power in Post-Conflict Timor-Leste: Opportunities for Transformative Education Around Gender Roles
    Running Head: WOMEN'S PERCEPTIONS OF GENDER AND POWER IN TIMOR-LESTE 1 Women's Perceptions of Gender and Power in Post-Conflict Timor-Leste: Opportunities for Transformative Education around Gender Roles Alexandra Tamiko Da Dalt Teachers College, Columbia University ABSTRACT Women in Timor-Leste face a variety of obstacles to full political, social, and financial inclusion. The tension between government initiatives to protect women and the reality of lived experiences is apparent in the high intimate partner violence rate. Slightly less than two-fifths (38%) of women in Timor-Leste report experiencing physical domestic violence by the age of 15 and describe it as a “normal, and sometimes, a daily occurrence” (Timor-Leste National Statistics Directorate, 2010; UN Women, 2015). Though there is strong scholarship in the quantitative-based reporting and analysis of gender and women's rights in post-conflict Timor- Leste (Arunachalam, Boavida dos Santos, Niner, Tilman, & Wigglesworth, 2013; Mason, 2005; Niner 2011), there is a lack of space for Timorese women's voices to directly narrate how they see these issues affecting their lives and their futures. This qualitative study expands on previous findings and attempts to bring Timorese women's voices to the center of the current conversation around gender in Timor-Leste. Findings indicate that rigid post-conflict gender roles (Enloe, 2004) and a strong patriarchal tradition are obstacles to gender equity, despite the apparent numbers of women in Timor-Leste pushing forward and fighting for women's rights. Themes of competition between women, gender-based violence, access to reproductive health and rights, concerns about financial stability and access to education, and women's political representation emerged during the interview process.

VISION, FRAMEWORK, AND URBAN STRUCTURE Vision 8.1 The Dili Metropolitan Area (DMA) Vision is formulated with reference to the related plans and inputs from stakeholders. Both the counterparts and the JICA Project Team (JPT) proposed the “beloved and brilliant national capital” as an idea of vision, supported by four pillars such as “robust economic hub”, “high-quality of life”, “rich social and cultural center”, and “healthy and eco-friendly society”. The four viewpoints, namely: “linkage”, “human resources”, “sustainability”, and “resilience”, should be addressed to realize DMA Vision 2030, when development strategy and programs/projects are formulated. Framework 8.2 Based on the detailed review and analysis of the projection of the Census 2010 mentioned in Section 8.1 above, the five projection scenarios are considered for the project area, namely: Case-1: Rapid Migration Scenario (annual average growth rate of 5.77%), Case-2: Census Scenario (4.61%), Case-3: Moderate Migration Scenario (3.94%), Case-4: Minimum Migration Scenario (3.03%), and Case-5: No Migration Scenario (2.48%).
