The Eyewitness: Bitter Moments in East-Timor Jungles

---

Six months after Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin on Christmas 1974 I decided to take some holidays to see my relatives here in Timor. It was July 1975. So I caught a T.A.A. flight from Darwin to Dili. I was very happy to see my brother who was already a Public Servant and my younger sisters just finished Primary School with good marks. At the time, July 1975, everybody was talking about politics and young people or older ones would gather in the street or else in the bars to talk about politics and revolution. The Fretilin simpatizers, were usually young boys, most of them unemployed, were very extremist in their ideas and they usually wanted the expulsion of the Portuguese, and an immediate independence, while the U.D.T. simpatizers, just wanted more opportunity for the Timorese and maintain long-term links with Portugal before any opportunity for independence. Apodeti simpatizers, as I could notice in several occasions, they would stand neutral during the discussions as they wanted to reunite with their historical brothers and be incorporated into Indonesia.
