Rebel leader among the worthies at swearing-in
Stephen Fitzpatrick in Dili
July 11, 2006
OF all the worthies assembled for yesterday's swearing-in of Jose Ramos Horta as East Timor's Prime Minister, perhaps the most startling was Vicente "Railos" daConceicao, the rebel leader whose claims of being part of a secret hit squad helped topple the Alkatiri government.
Mr Conceicao, who took his place beside ambassadors, bishops and the heads of foreign peacekeeping forces, including Australian Brigadier Mick Slater, claimed he had been given guns, ammunition, uniforms and cars by former interior minister Rogerio Lobato.
He has yet to surrender all of those weapons and Mr Ramos Horta announced after the ceremony that the handover would take place today in the western town of Liquica. Mr Conceicao expects the Prime Minister and Xanana Gusmao to be there so he can hand his weapons directly to the President.
Mr Conceicao originally claimed to have met Mr Lobato and former prime minister Mari Alkatiri at the latter's home in Dili, to receive his assignment of leading a secret hit squad to provide "security" within the ruling Fretilin party before its national congress in May. He said he was supposed to eliminate opponents of Dr Alkatiri, including members of a group of almost 600 sacked soldiers. He said he was in a gunfight with East Timorese soldiers outside Dili on May 24 in which armed men from both sides, and civilians, were killed. Mr Lobato, who had responsibility for the police but no control over the military, later implicated his one-time boss in a day-long grilling by international prosecutors.
Dr Alkatiri has been issued with a new summons to face questioning next week, after refusing to front on another summons last week. (MENTIRA)
Mr Conceicao's deputy, Mateus "Rakat" dos Santos Pereira, said yesterday from Liquica that today's weapons handover would be "a final sign of the Alkatiri regime".
"Tomorrow we will show the world we are neither military nor police, but civilians who were given weapons by Alkatiri".
Dr Alkatiri denies the claims.
Mr Gusmao's head of protocol said Mr Conceicao had been invited to the swearing-in ceremony as a community leader and former fighter for Falintil -- the anti-Indonesian guerilla force.
He said other Falintil fighters had been invited but could not attend. Significantly, another invited non-attendee at yesterday's event was Dr Alkatiri. Mr Conceicao was also mysteriously present at Mr Gusmao's home two weeks ago when weapons were handed over to peacekeepers. That event was carefully stage-managed, with prosecutor-general Longhuinos Monteiro on hand to explain how Dr Alkatiri appeared to have been involved in the hit squad scheme, although the rifles were not those Mr Conceicao claimed to have been given.
Mr Gusmao's spokesman, Agio Pereira, said the weapons handed in that day were police rifles surrendered by "citizens wanting to show they supported the President". Mr Conceicao, it seemed, just happened to be around.

Mentira! Vai para este website...
Mr Gusmao's spokesman, Agio Pereira, said the weapons handed in that day were police rifles surrendered by "citizens wanting to show they supported the President". Mr Conceicao, it seemed, just happened to be around.
Citizens surrendering their weapons...who are these citizens, how did they their hands on these weapons, were they police? if they were are they contained in anyway for questioning? did they participate in attacks against the FFDTL in Dili.
"Mr Conceicao was also mysteriously present at Mr Gusmao's home two weeks ago when weapons were handed over to peacekeepers" These are not the weapons that were allegedly given to Railos by FRETILIN, How come Railos is everywhere Xanana is? Why is he so imprtant, is Railos he connected to those handing the weapons back? Where did these people get the weapons......aaaarrrghhh so many questions no answer PRESIDENT.
Lets not make any more mistakes, Mr Conceicao is a criminal who got caught embezzling pay cheques. How WORTHY is that MR FITZ? And now he gets protected by aussies. SHAME SHAME SHAME.
"He said other Falintil fighters had been invited but could not attend." Does he mean Tara, Salsinha, Tilman and "Alfredo" (Falintil fighter by default).
Lere, and Taur are officially F-FDTL, thus not counted as Falintil Fighters who should be known as FF.

Líder rebelde entre as personalidades na cerimónia
Stephen Fitzpatrick in Dili
July 11, 2006
De todas as personalidades que se juntaram ontem na tomada de posse de José Ramos Horta como Primeiro-Ministro de Timor-Leste, talvez o mais estranho foi Vicente "Railos" da Conceição, o líder rebelde cuja queixa de ser parte dum esquadrão de ataque secreto ajudou a derrubar o governo de Alkatiri.
O Sr Conceição, que se sentou ao lado de embaixadores, bispos e cabeças das tropas estrangeiras, incluindo o Brigadeiro Australiano Mick Slater, queixou-se que lhe foram dadas armas, munições, uniformes e carros pelo antigo ministro do interior Rogério Lobato.
Ele ainda tem que entregar todas essas armas e o Sr Ramos Horta anunciou depois da cerimónia que a entrega terá lugar hoje, na cidade de Liquica. O Sr Conceição espera que o Primeiro-Ministro e Xanana Gusmão estejam lá para que possa entregar as armas directamente ao Presidente.
Originalmente o Sr Conceição disse que se tinha encontrado com o Sr Lobato e o antigo primeiro-ministro Mari Alkatiri em casa do último em Dili, para receber a sua tarefa de liderar um esquadrão secreto que fizesse a “segurança” no interior do partido do governo, a Fretilin, antes do seu congresso nacional em Maio. Disse que era suposto eliminar os opositores do Dr Alkatiri, incluindo membros de um grupo de quase 600 soldados despedidos. Disse que esteve num tiroteio com soldados Timorenses fora de Dili em 24 de Maio, no qual homens armados de ambos os lados e civis foram mortos. O Sr Lobato, que tinha a responsabilidade pela polícia mas nenhum controlo sobre os militares, mais tarde implicou o seu antigo chefe num interrogatório de um dia por procuradores internacionais.
Foi emitida outra convocatória para o Dr Alkatiri enfrentar um interrogatório na próxima semana, depois de ter recusado enfrentar um outro na semana passada. (MENTIRA)
O vice-presidente do Sr Conceição, Mateus "Rakat" dos Santos Pereira, disse ontem de Liquica que a entrega de armas hoje será "um último sinal do regime de Alkatiri ".
"Amanhã mostraremos ao mundo que não somos nem militares nem polícias, mas civis a quem Alkatiri deu armas".
O Dr Alkatiri nega a acusação.
O chefe de protocolo do Sr Gusmão disse que o Sr Conceição tinha sido convidado para a cerimónia por ser um líder comunitário e um antigo guerrilheiro das Falintil -- a força de guerrilha anti-Indonésia.
Disse que outros guerrilheiros da Falintil tinham sido convidados mas que não puderam comparecer. Significativamente, um outro convidado que não compareceu ao evento de ontem foi o Dr Alkatiri. O Sr Conceição esteve também misteriosamente presente em casa do Sr Gusmão há duas semanas atrás quando foram entregues armas às tropas. Esse evento foi cuidadosamente encenado com o Procurador-Geral no local a explicar como é Dr Alkatiri parecia estar envolvido no esquema do esquadrão de ataque, apesar das espingardas não serem aquelas que o Sr Conceição diz que lhe foram dadas.
O porta-voz do Sr Gusmão, Agio Pereira, disse que as armas entregues nesse dia foram espingardas da polícia entregues por "cidadãos que queriam mostrar o seu apoio ao Presidente". Parece que o Sr Conceição, por acaso estava por ali.
