"Apesar de frágil, Timor-Leste é uma jovem democracia em que acreditamos. É o país que escolhemos para viver e trabalhar. Desde dia 28 de Abril muito se tem dito sobre a situação em Timor-Leste. Boatos, rumores, alertas, declarações de países estrangeiros, inocentes ou não, têm servido para transmitir um clima de conflito e insegurança que não corresponde ao que vivemos. Vamos tentar transmitir o que se passa aqui. Não o que ouvimos dizer... "

"O Presidente de Cabo-Verde, António Mascarenhas Monteiro, reafirma a solidariedade do seu país à causa e à resistência do povo timorense, durante um jantar oferecido na Cidade da Praia em honra do seu homólogo português, Jorge Sampaio.
Referindo-se à gravidade da situação que prevalece em Timor-Leste, António Mascarenhas Monteiro reitera a determinação de Cabo Verde de prosseguir uma acção concertada nas instâncias internacionais de denúncia dos abusos e violência e de apoio a uma solução negociada e pacífica que respeite o direito dos timorenses à autodeterminação."
Este senhor tem um passado de aliado da causa da independência timorense. É um amigo de Timor-Leste e poderá ser determinante.
Eu não acredito pois quem comanda a ONU é a vontade dos Estados Unidos da América, logo Austrália protegida tal como a Indonésia.
Sempre é melhor que o japonês, esse ignorante que quando bebe...hui, fala atá daquilo que não sabe!
a margarida nem precisa de beber para fazer isso.
Bem Vindo ba Mascarenhas Monteiro!
Saionara ba Hasegawa! Hakatak sai lalais ba sinor Hasegawa!
Bem Vindo ao Mascarenhas Monteiro!
Saionara ao Hasegawa! Estuga os passos ao sair sr. Hasegawa!
Some time back a blogger wrote (in relation to a Reinado article)alleging the use of military to re establish law and order after the breakdown on 28 April 2006 and questioned that it was not the case in democratic nations. Apart from reminding him of historically Australia being prone to use military to break up industrial action and the USA's (their Sherrifs) use of the National Guard (a military institution regularly used to reestablish law and order, I thought this could somethingworth reading:
"The Kent State shootings, also known as May 4 or the Kent State massacre, occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The shooting killed four students and wounded nine others.
The shootings were the culmination of four days of increasingly agitated demonstrations by members of the student body. The students were protesting the American invasion of Cambodia which President Richard Nixon launched on April 25, and announced in a television address five days later."
As opposed to manifest violent and armed insurrection posed in the case of the petitioners, Kent State students were unarmed demonstartors.
A famed statement for our blogger mate: "It is those who do not study history who are bound to repeat it". That I am sure the Timorese will do better then we and our Sherrifs.
DRAFT 2
PARTIDO DEMOCRÁTICO
(PD)
POLITICAL PLATFORM
REPÚBLICA DEMOCRÁTICA DE TIMOR-LESTE
Seven years have passed since the Indonesian administration was voted out of Timor-Leste in August 1999. The Timorese Dream was thus achieved as independence was gained. Seven years later, the people of Timor-Leste are leaving in anticipation of the year 2007 when they will vote for the first time ever, as an independent nation, in first ever democratic election for a factual legislative assembly.
Partido Democrático (PD), the current major opposition party, was established in May 2000. In August 2000, three months after its formation, PD ran in the Constituent Assembly election and came second to FRETILIN currently the ruling party. PD has since grown in size and has become a serious political contender and advocate of the public’s socio-economic welfare and political interest in the current Timor-Leste’s political spectrum. The founding members of PD consist mostly of former clandestine activists and young graduates from Indonesian universities and former active senior members of the former historical CNRT’s Frente Politica Interna or (FPI) including other former supporters of FRETILIN. These founding members and supporters are well-known for their creativity, courage, and conscience which they had gained and developed during the years of resistance and occupation. During this post-independence period, they have drawn on the same courage, creativity and conscience with willingness to innovate and imagine a brighter future for all Timor-Leste’s families.
Regrettably, critical interpretations of the country’ situation during the first period of Timor-Leste’s own government point to what is seen as economic stagnation and the escalation of poverty and misery. These interpretations are based on a series of observations and evidence that includes unemployment crisis, discriminatory access to state resources based on political affiliations, poor government spending on social programs and poor investment in the economic sector. Indicators include among others a majority of the working age who are yet to find their first paid job; hundreds of thousands who are still struggling under the mounting burden of life's everyday costs and cannot afford a house, clean water and power, and many more who are still seeking justice as they mourn over their lost ones. All these families feel that the Timorese Dream they had during the cruel years of occupation and resistance is seriously endangered if not vanished.
PD has a plan to create a society with strong, healthy and well-educated citizens to permit them to seek a better future for themselves, for their loved ones, and for the country in a stable and fair environment. For the purpose, this Platform was written in the light of today’s socio-economic and political realities. It was developed with the voices of thousands of ordinary Timorese around the country who contributed their thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and dreams through organized meetings, political sessions and debates during mini and district congresses countrywide.
This Political Platform lays out key areas which the leadership of PD is committed to promoting and defending by applying the principles, policies and measures as described below to offer hope to those who are hopeless, to pledge protection to those who are threatened and to promise justice to those who are victims.

O partido dos jovens numa nacao jovem!
O futuro eh dos jovens!
a alfabetização em Timor na próxima geração só é viável ou em português, ou em inglês ou em bahasa indonésio. O tetum é insuficiente para alfabetizar e educar a próxima geração. Pela insuficiência da sua gramática, mas sobretudo pela inexistência de material didático (livros científicos, manuais, acervo científico em tetum).
È assim no Quénia e na Tanzânia, que têm como lingua nacional o Suhailli, mas alfabetizam a partir de determinado nível em ingês.É assim em Cabo Verde e na Guiné Bissau onde existe como lingua nacional o crioulo mas alfabetiza-se em português.
Para não hipotecar a educação dos jovens, e o futuro do país a educação deve ser encarada com pragmatismo. Sem deixar de valorizar o Tetum, mas também as outras linguas nacionais como por exemplo o fataluco ou o macassai, tem de se ser pragmático. timor tem de ter uma língua nacional de contacto com o mundo. a constituição optou pelo português, mas o debate da revisão constitucional pode ser reaberto...
Passaram sete anos e estes gajos do PD nem ainda aprenderam a escrever em Português?

Forca PD.
O partido dos jovens numa nacao jovem!
O futuro eh dos jovens! ......................................Por entanto continua a queimar e atacar os refugiados.
A alfabetização (saber ler e escrever) pode ser feita em qualquer língua (inclusive outras línguas de Timor) e para isso não são necessários "livros científicos, manuais" ou "acervo científico".
Já agora, convém alfabetizar os timorenses numa das duas línguas oficiais, o que já está sendo feito. Para este efeito, o Malaio-indonésio e o Inglês têm tanta razão de ser como o Vietnamita ou o Húngaro.
O Tétum não tem "insuficiência" de gramática [1]. Isso é um mito que visa desvalorizar esta língua, com o fim de desincentivar o seu uso escrito. O problema do Tétum é a falta de investimento nesta língua e a relutância em usá-la, começando por certa comunicação social timorense.
Assim, cria-se um círculo vicioso: não se usa o Tétum porque está pouco desenvolvido e não se desenvolve porque é pouco usado (na escrita, claro).
Vejamos o que dizia o Prof. Geoffrey Hull sobre este tema em Julho de 2005:
"A reforma linguística dirigida pelo INL tem feito muito progressos nos últimos anos, e os nossos dicionários, gramáticas e cursos de ortografia já se usam na universidade, nas escolas e em muitas repartições do governo. Porém o INL tem de lidar com o problema do número muito restrito de linguistas timorenses com uma formação científica adequada (infelizmente o sistema educativo indonésio não fomentava a curiosidade intelectual), e continua a enfrentar vários desafios, entre os quais a perene falta de fundos para realizar investigações científicas e imprimir livros e dicionários, e uma certa resistência da parte de elementos sociais que — por motivos pessoais antes que patrióticos — obstaculam o progresso do tétum oficial porque para eles é mais cómodo continuar a utilizar o indonésio que conhecem bem do que dar-se ao trabalho de dominar a variedade literária da sua língua materna. Não esqueçamos que 20% da população votou em 1999 pela integração com a Indonésia, e certos preconceitos culturais da ocupação indonésia (por exemplo o típico disparate colonialista do tétum ser "um dialecto primitivo sem gramática que não pode servir como língua literária ou oficial"). É bastante preocupante que tais atitudes caracterizem a maioria dos jornais locais e até a televisão nacional onde ainda (e a mim parece um escândalo) não pegou a ortografia oficial." [2]
E cuidado com as comparações: ao contrário de Timor-Leste, em Cabo Verde e na Guiné-Bissau só o Português é língua oficial. Portanto, é natural que esta seja a língua de alfabetização nesses dois países.

Fosse isso verdade de nada se compara com a grande xulice que acontecia no governo. Ai sim! Milhoes de dolares em projectos do estado, abastecimento de combustivel para toda a administracao, fornecimento de armas para os servicos de seguranca tudo para um grupo predilecto de empresarios da fretilin e familiares de Mari Alkatiri.
Mas como mesmo isso nao era suficiente para agradar a todos os membros do clube outros envolviam-se em negocios ilegais. Em termos de trafico ja sabemos todos que foi o maior traficante timorense de todos os tempos e a sorte dele ter ficado como Minitro do Interior. Sandalo, prostituicao, e outras mercadorias, you name it... Estava tudo sob controle!
Enfim, o que os outros faziam erra brincadeira de criancas.
