More information about the video content bellow: 1. The first new nation of the 21st century is located in Southeast Asia, just north of Australia. A Portuguese colony from the 17th century until 1975, Timor-Leste shares the island of Timor with Indonesia. When the Portuguese left in 1975, Indonesia invaded and annexed East Timor. The United Nations condemned Indonesia's occupation and in 1999 a UN-organized referendum guided East Timor to independence on May 20, 2002. 2. Dili is Timor-Leste’s capital city and largest city. Located on the island’s northern coast, Dili was settled as a port city by Portuguese traders in 1520. Dili became the capital of Portuguese Timor in 1864, and has remained the capital of Timor-Leste. 3. “Timor” comes from the Malay word timur, which means “east” – so the name East Timor can be translated to “east east.” The East Timorese often call their country Timor Lorosa’e. Lorosa’e means “rising sun”. 4. Due to its past as a colony of Portugal, East Timor is today one of only two Asian countries with a Christian majority (the other one being the Philippines). About 97% of Timorese are Roman Catholics and around 2% are Protestants. 5. East Timorese creation myth has it that an aging crocodile transformed into the island of Timor as part of a debt repayment to a young boy who had helped the crocodile when it was sick. As a result, the island is shaped like a crocodile and the boy's descendants are the native East Timorese who inhabit it. 6. The economy of East Timor is in shambles, neglected under Portuguese rule, and deliberately sabotaged by occupation troops during the war for independence from Indonesia. As a result, the country is among the poorest in the world. Close to half of the population lives in poverty, and as many as 70 per cent face chronic food insecurity. 7. To look at a map of Timor-Leste, it is easy to think that the people of Timor-Leste might have descended from the Indonesians, because of its proximity. This would be incorrect; they are descended from the aboriginal people of Australia and Sri Lanka. However the first signs of homo-sapiens are about 42 thousand years old!

Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy is a 1994 Central Independent Television documentary, written and presented by John Pilger, and directed and produced by David Munro, which uncovers the complicity of the US and Great Britain governments in the East Timor genocide in the context of the 1990-91 Gulf War. "Accusations of genocide fly in this disturbing and controversial British documentary," writes Sandra Brennan of Allmovie, as well as, "disturbing accusations regarding the complacency of the U.S., British, and Australian governments who purportedly knew about the killing and did nothing." An updated version of the film entitled The Timor Conspiracy was released in 1999. - Wiki

Voice and effects Tensions remain high in East Timor where the Australian led peacekeeping force has continued to detain dozens of suspected militia members for questioning. But the UN forces are far from in complete control of the capital Dili after a number of sniper attacks and house fires blamed on militia members on the run. 00.00 Cornered by an angry crowd, this man, they claimed, was a member of one of East Timor's hated and feared militia. He is suspected of being one of those who carried out atrocities including house burnings and killings against East Timorese independence supporters. 00.12 Australian peacekeeping soldiers had to force back the crowd - taking the man into custody and searching him for weapons. Fearing the mob might suddenly turn on the man, the soldiers tied his hands behind his back and took him away for questioning. 00.34 In another incident Australian peacekeepers were helping to supervise the loading of Indonesian army trucks when another crowd claimed militia men were on board one of the trucks. The convoy was quickly stopped when an armoured personnel carrier blocked its path. The Indonesian army driver was shocked by the peacekeepers' sudden intervention who searched the truck and the men on board, 00.59 finding a machete but little else. Thinking that more militia men had been captured, the crowd cheered and danced, but their celebrations were short lived when none was arrested. But there is still a large element of danger and the militia remains a force to be reckoned with. 01.19 This fire is believed to have been started by either retreating Indonesian forces or some the hundreds of militia still hiding in Dili, demonstrating that the UN troops are far from in complete control of the capital.

EAST TIMOR: DILI: BRITISH GURKHAS ARRIVE

English/Nat The British Gurkhas, part of the Australian led peacekeeping force in East Timor, have been playing their part in getting Dili back to a better shape. They have been helping to clear-up the mess left behind by the withdrawing militia and Indonesian army. Australian troops have been seizing more of the militias weapons. On Saturday in Dili the British Gurkhas were helping to clear a ruined market place of debris. It's hoped the East Timorese can eventually re-use it. The Gurkhas, from Nepal under British command, have the reputation of being amongst the toughest soldiers in the world. They're still highly vigilant of the danger posed by the militia and the Indonesian army. The Gurkhas' principal role in East Timor has been to secure the United Nations compound. But they're also clearly making an effort to befriend the East Timorese. Australian troops attempted to make use of a man who handed in a homemade pipe bomb. He carried a note which stated he was not part of the militia, but that he could give the peacekeepers information about them. Sergeant Allan Misseldine of the Australian army said that they would see how far he could assist them. (English) "Well, we've had a local member, he's handed in a pipe gun, and at this time he's going back to the dock area to assist us." SUPER CAPTION: Sergeant Allan Misseldine, Australian Army The Australian-led international forces have detained dozens of suspected militia members since arriving in Dili on Monday and have confiscated hundreds of machetes, knives and homemade guns. Australian peacekeeping troops also watched another ship full of Indonesia soldiers leave the territory. By the weekend, fewer than 4-thousand Indonesian troops will be left in East Timor. The last are scheduled to go when Indonesia's highest legislative body grants independence formally in November. The docks are quieter now as most of the larger vessels carrying the withdrawing Indonesian military and militias have left. In place of the liners at dock side are Australian supply ships off loading equipment essential to the peacekeeping effort. Multinational troops continued to arrive in Dili on Saturday. New arrivals of troops, some from the Philippines and Canada, have raised the force's size to well over three thousand. More than seven thousand five hundred are expected.

Natural Sound Dozens more Indonesian troops abandoned their barracks in East Timor on Friday as Indonesia continued to pull its soldiers out of the province. Around 90 soldiers left southern Dili on Friday and prepared for their journey to the island of Java, as a three thousand-strong international peacekeeping force prepared to enter East Timor. The outgoing troops all said they were happy to be returning home. International peacekeepers have given assurances that the Indonesian army will complete its withdrawal by September 26, but upto 3-thousand of its soldiers are still said to be stationed in the area. Indonesia continued to withdraw its troops stationed in East Timor on Friday. Around 90 more soldiers were evacuated from their barracks in the mountains around southern Dili. They refused to say how long they have been in East Timor, but all of them said they were delighted to be going home. They are being transferred to Surabaya on the Indonesian island of Java. A guard has stayed behind to prevent the abandoned barracks being looted, as has happened elsewhere in East Timor after Indonesian troops pulled out. The guard will remain until a 3-thousand strong international peacekeeping force is in place in the troubled province. The Indonesian government has given assurances that most of its troops will be withdrawn from East Timor by September 26. However, this now looks doubtful, as this leaves just two days for Indonesia to withdraw a further 3-thousand troops. The last days of Indonesia's occupation of East Timor have been tense as its soldiers pack up and the Australian-led peacekeepers take over. Although both sides are largely cordial, the threat of confrontation remains. In an earlier incident, departing Indonesian soldiers set fire to their own barracks, and fired in the air as they drove in open trucks. On an another occasion, Nepalese Gurkhas under British command were ordered out of barracks they were attempting to search for a suspected sniper. The Indonesian military has pledged to cooperate with the international force, which has a mandate to restore order after the recent troubles. The violence broke out after East Timor's decision to become independent from Indonesia in a ballot at the end of August. The overlap period is extremely volatile, with two armies prowling the streets of the East Timor capital Dili/ The city has been wrecked by pro-Indonesian militias and their allies in the military.

EAST TIMOR: UN TROOPS INVOLVED IN FIRE FIGHT

English/Nat United Nations troops have been involved in a fire fight with West Timorese militias. None of the Portuguese U-N force was injured. It's not known if the militia took casualties. The incident occurred on Saturday when a patrol led by Portuguese U-N forces, supported by East Timorese guides, were three kilometres from the village of Feriksare, near the town of Alas in the central sector of East Timor. The guides apparently spotted militia nearby and the UN opened fire - feeling they were under direct threat. The robust U-N response is part of a new policy of adopting what the Head of the U-N Mission, Sergio De Miello describes as "repressive rather than persuasive" tactics to smoke out and disarm militias. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I do not believe that militia will voluntarily surrender their weapons. And if they did they'd probably surrender the old rotten ones and kept the modern ones. Therefore what happened yesterday did not come as a surprise, it was pretty pathetic but not a surprise. What I'm interested in is as of this morning, whether the repressive face, which is the one I believe can work, will be more effective. And for that we need to wait a few days, we'll be briefing the security council on Friday afternoon, by then we should have a clearer idea, whether repression has been more effective than persuasion." SUPER CAPTION: Sergio de Miello, Head of the UN Mission The U-N has previously come in for criticism for being too soft on militia activity.
