How complacency crippled a nation

THE crisis in East Timor amounts to multiple spectacular failures — by East Timor's leaders, by the United Nations and by Australia.
Primary responsibility lies with East Timor's complacent political and military leaders, few of whom emerge from this with any credit, even allowing for their massive task in rebuilding a nation and society ripped apart by a savage Indonesian occupation.
They failed to deal with the grievances of soldiers whose desertion in February sparked the crisis, and they lacked the will and capacity to define a role for their army.
As the crisis developed, President Xanana Gusmao has seemed diffident and disengaged, emotionally and physically immobilised in his compound in the cool hills above sweltering Dili.
Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri has been provocative and inflexible, indifferent to soldiers' complaints and blind to the security crisis created by the desertions. Defence Minister Roque Rodrigues has been fatally incompetent, ignoring advice that could have prevented disaster.
And Interior Minister Rogerio Lobato has been intent on intrigue, exploiting disaffection and dissent while seeking to mould the national police as a personal fiefdom.
Efforts to negotiate with army factions have been left largely to Foreign Minister Jose Ramos Horta. But he, too, failed to realise the extent of the crisis. Just two weeks ago, ruling out the need for outside intervention, he told me: "We can resolve this on our own. We must." He should shelve his ambition to be the next UN Secretary-General. His country needs him.
FOR the UN, this is the collapse of its showcase success in creating a nation from ruins. In particular, the UN's creation of a new East Timorese army was based on flawed compromises. On East Timor, the UN is influenced by governments in key capitals — above all, Canberra.
Australia had prime responsibility for developing East Timor's security forces. We've juggled competing interests in a $70 million "capacity building" aid program for the army and police.
Our overriding interest has been not East Timor, but Indonesia, so we didn't want the army to patrol the border with Indonesia in case it provoked the Indonesian Army. And we didn't want the army to play an internal security role, either, so it was left to sulk in its barracks.
We can't say we weren't warned. A 2002 report by Australian Strategic Policy Institute predicted with prophetic understatement that East Timor's defence force "may develop in ways we do not like".

Anónimo disse...: Isto é, os australianos é que "formaram" a polícia e as forças armadas e depois dizem que os governantes timorenses é que são incompetentes? Como cantava o Zeca, "eles comem tudo, eles comem tudo, eles comen tudo e não deixam nada"...à moda de bons abutres que são.; 28 maio, 2006 01:56
