The Dili divide: Australia's sorry part in East Timor's blood-soaked past is still a matter of controversy
Article Abstract:
Australia's Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade has issued its version of events that led up to and followed East Timor's referendum on independence in 1999. This report continues to focus on the theory of rogue elements to explain the violence that accompanied the referendum. Independent observers believe that the Australian government must have been aware of the involvement of the Indonesian military in supporting East Timor's militias.
