I believe that our President had a good will to promote the unity of this nation. And he was very cautious in the beginning about the government’s decision to dismiss 591 soldiers of F/FDTL who then known as petitioners. The government did dissent to any opinion made by the President on that issue.
A delegation of the petitioners came to have a dialogue with the government and made their requests to the government but the government apparently ignored them. The government was probably thinking that the dismissal of 591 soldiers was just a simple case that would not lead to an unpredictably political crisis. Whether the government was conscious or not but its thoughtless decision had then triggered unrest and anarchy, etc. in this tiny nation.
We should not blame the speech as the source of burning houses etc. in this country and even should not blame him of not doing his responsibilities. We should be fair and see who is the root/mastermind of all the problems now occur in this country? One of them has been obviously alleged and has faced the court for the preliminary hearing – who will be the next? Is he next will be gentleman enough to be responsible for any of the allegations against him? Be reflected on yourself and avoid to blaming others.

Concordamos plenamente que o governo não lidou como devia com os problemas suscitados pelos peticionários.
Devia ter ouvido e resolvido os problemas a tempo. E mesmo quando chegou a uma situação de ruptura devia ter sido instaurado um processo disciplinara a cada um deles, onde se pudessem defender.
Mas continuamos convictos da manipulação deste movimento para outros fins. O de dar início a um golpe de estado com o obectivo de afastar politicamente de forma definitiva Mari Alkatiri.

One very simple question. Why have so many talented and committed East Timorese born people left the President's office? A pity really given how many were there before....many whom we internationals who worked with them had high regard for. I guess there are some people or things one just will not put up with.
"Concordamos plenamente que o governo nao lidou como devia com os problemas suscitados pelos peticionarios."
E dai que o governo, mais especificamente o seu chefe assuma as reponsabilidades porque ate morreram ja muitas pessoas e mais ainda se encontram deslocadas com medo de voltarem para casa. Tao simples como isto.

Acredito que o nosso Presidente teve a boa vontade de promover a unidade da sua nação. E foi muito cauteloso no princípio com a decisão do governo de despedir 591 soldados das F/FDTL conhecidos então como peticionários. O governo discordou da opinião do Presidente nessa questão.
Veio uma delegação de peticionários para ter um diálogo com o governo e apresentar as suas reivindicações ao governo mas o governo aparentemente ignorou-os. O governo estava provavelmente a pensar que o despedimento de 591 soldados era um caso simples que não levaria a nenhuma crise política. Estivesse o governo consciente ou não, o certo é que a sua decisão impensada desencadeou desassossego e anarquia, etc. nesta pequena nação.
Não devemos pôr as culpas no discurso como a causa do queimar de casas etc. neste país nem se deve pôr as culpas nele por não cumprir com as suas responsabilidades. Devemos ser justos e ver quem está na raiz de todos os problemas que agora ocorrem no país? Um deles tem sido obviamente alegado e enfrenta o tribunal para uma audição primária – quem será o próximo? É o próximo cavalheiro suficiente para ser responsável por alguma das alegações contra ele? Pense em si e evite culpar outros.

Quanto aos peticionários, descobri, relendo o que está no site da UNOTIl, que afinal quem deu a táctiva para a feitura duma petição até foi o Xanana. Deixo os textos e o link onde estão as notícias:

402 F-FDTL launch protest
On Wednesday, 402 F-FDTL members including those from the Naval, First and Second Battalions and Headquarters who consider themselves as a distinct ethnic group from the West of Timor-Leste, protested at the Presidential Palace in Caicoli. The group directed their protest at the President as the Supreme Commander of the F-FDTL in regard to declarations by some Commanders that it was those from the East of Timor-Leste who were primarily involved in the war. They also launched an angry protest against what they claim to be discrimination within the F-FDTL related to promotions granted exclusively to those from the East.
President Xanana responded by saying that as the Supreme Commander, he has an interest in resolving the conflict but that he is unhappy that the soldiers left their barracks to protest. When meeting with the protesters, the President requested that return to their barracks and allow the internal F-FDTL Commission to investigate the allegations. The soldiers refused to return however, saying that some of the Commanders had threatened that if they participated in the protest, they would be considered enemies. They suggested that they all remain for the time being at the HQ in Tasi Tolu, so that the investigators could speak to them there as a group. They anticipated that they would experience problems with their colleagues if they were to return to their respective offices.
The situation became heated when President Xanana, unable to convince the soldiers to return, left them to return to his office. The President stated that he would have preferred if the soldiers had just presented a petition, and not left their barracks, as this action will not help to resolve the problem. (TP, STL)

East Timor: President gives army protesters ultimatum to return to barracks
Dili, Feb. 8 (Lusa) - President Xanana Gusmão gave hundreds of protesting AWOL East Timorese soldiers an ultimatum Wednesday to return to their barracks or face expulsion from the army.
After meeting with the group of about 400 soldiers for a second consecutive time at the Presidential Palace Wednesday night, Gusmão promised an inquiry into their demands and no reprisal for their action if they returned to their barracks by Thursday morning.
The group of unarmed troops gathered at the Cinzas Palace in Dili early Wednesday to demand the replacement of the Commander of 1 Battalion based in Baucau, Colonel Falur.
"You erred in abandoning your barracks. "If you return (to barracks), you will again be officers, sergeants and soldiers", Gusmão told the assembled protesters, warning that if they disobeyed they would "cease being military".
He promised the soldiers they would face no reprisals and that an inquiry would be opened into their grievances.
Police and army trucks lined up near the Presidential Palace to take protesters back to barracks over night if they so chose.
In comments to Lusa and Portugal's RTP television after his meeting with the military protesters, Gusmão said he did "not know" whether they would follow his advice.
"It depends on them, I showed them the way", the President said. (LUSA)
