Alkatiri Attacks Australian Interference In Timor

Alkatiri Attacks Australian Interference In Timor

AIM (Moçambique) - Friday 24/11/2006

Maputo, 24 Nov (AIM) - The former prime minister
of East Timor, Mari Alkatiri, on a private visit
to Mozambique, has accused the Australian
government of interference in Timorese internal affairs.

Despite the fact that he leads the Timorese
liberation movement Fretilin (Revolutionary Front
for an Independent East Timor), which remains the
country's largest and most popular political
party, Alkatiri was forced to resign earlier this
year in what has been described as "a constitutional coup d'etat".

The immediate cause of the violence that wracked
East Timor in late May was a mutiny by Timorese
troops who had been sacked from the armed forces
and were led by a man who had played no role in
the struggle against Indonesian occupation, but
spent the years of war in comfortable exile in Australia.

The violence was used as an excuse to destabilise
the Timorese government and remove Alkatiri,
bitterly disliked in the Australian establishment
because of his tough (and successful) negotiating
stance over the oil reserves under the Timor Sea.

Alkatiri lived in exile in Maputo for many years,
and has returned to see old friends. In an
interview published in Friday's issue of the
independent weekly "Savana", Alkatiri stressed
his belief that there had been an Australian hand in forcing his resignation.

Over the previous year and a half, he noted, the
Australian media "launched a deliberate campaign
to denigrate the image of the Timorese government
and of Fretilin in general, and my image in particular".

At the height of the May/June crisis, Australia's
right-wing prime minister John Howard, Alkatiri
added, "was the only political leader who
declared that he wanted me to resign, in a clear
act of interference in the internal affairs of Timor".

Clearly the oil negotiations were a weighty
factor behind this. "The negotiations were
tough", said Alkatiri, "and I strongly defended
Timorese interests. In one block, we got rights
to 90 per cent, when initially we had only been
allocated 50 per cent, and in another we got 50
per cent instead of the initial offer of 18 per cent".

Asked about the role of the Catholic Church, the
religion followed by most Timorese, Alkatiri
replied "I don't much like to talk about the
church as an institution, but it's a fact that
part of the hierarchy was militantly opposed to the government".

"I have no doubts in stating that the Catholic
Church played the role of an opposition,
organising demonstrations for two or three weeks", he added.

A complicating factor is that Alkatiri himself is
not a christian, but comes from a moslem family.
"I admit that the fact that I'm a moslem, in an
overwhelmingly catholic country, may be difficult
for some catholic sectors to accept", he said.

As for the trumped-up charges that Alkatiri had
distributed guns to civilians, the UN's
commission of inquiry had found no proof, but
nonetheless recommended continued investigation.

Alkatiri was not surprised, and regarded this as
a way to save the face of those Timorese
politicians, notably President Xanana Gusmao, who
had forced his resignation. "The way the UN
report was presented shows clearly they don't
want to affectthose in power", he said. For if
the UN had clearly stated there was no basis for
the accusations against him, "then what would the
position of the President have looked like, since
he asked for my resignation precisely because of those charges ?"

Alkatiri dismissed rumours that he had come to
Mozambique to escape Timorese justice. He had
told the Attorney-General in advance of his
travel plans, and he had given him his contact numbers.

Furthermore, Alkatiri remains in regular contact
with the man who replaced him as Prime Minister,
Jose Ramos-Horta. "In Timor, we meet once a
week", he said. "When I'm abroad, we speak regularly on the phone".

Fretilin had given Ramos-Horta's government its
backing. Ramos-Horta had inherited the Alkatiri
government's ambitious plans, but Alkatiri
thought he had been "unable to define clearly the
difficulties and tackle them frontally".

In particular, Ramos-Horta had not re-established
law and order, and the authority of the state, or
solved the problems of those displaced in the
May-June fighting. "That should have been a
priority, and it wasn't", said Alkatiri.

He was sharply critical of Gusmao. Although he
did not believe the President was initially
involved in the plans to topple the Alkatiri
government, he came on board later, and showed
"the unjustifiable hatred he has for Fretilin".

Alkatiri admitted the key role that Gusmao played
in the resistance to Indonesian occupation,
following the death of Fretilin's first leader,
Nicolau Lobato. Gusmao introduced a new style of
leadership, very much centred on his own person -
and in the dark years of the 1980s, Alkatiri
admitted, this worked and the resistance
survived. Gusmao was the de facto leader of
Fretilin, even when he formally separated himself from the party.

But when independence came, the situation was
radically changed. Fretilin reorganised, and
Gusmao was outside of the party structures.

"President Xanana's great problem is that he has
lost the leadership of Fretilin", said Alkatiri.
"You can't try to lead a party if you are outside
of it. Only those who are prepared to subordinate
themselves to Fretilin structures can lead
Fretilin. What the President wants is, at the
least, irrational. That was where our quarrels began".

Alkatiri said he did not want to be Fretilin's
candidate for prime minister at the next
elections. Instead, he would prefer to work to build up the party.

More reconciliation among leaders needed, says int'l mediation body

More reconciliation among leaders needed, says int'l mediation body

Dili, Nov. 22 (Lusa) - East Timor's leaders are still not prepared to meet
at short notice to resolve political and social problems that emerge as the
new nation slowly recovers from this year's deadly turmoil, an
international organization working for reconciliation in the Asian state
said Wednesday.


Former Latvian President Valdis Birkavs, coordinator of the Club of
Madrid's efforts to promote dialogue in Timor, said he was concerned that
despite recent peace rallies organized by Timorese youth groups and a
symbolic joint parade by the police and army units, little evidence exists
that parallel reconciliation moves have been made by Dili's leaders and
main political parties.

Resolving Timor's political instability calls for "common efforts", said
Birkavs, noting that his own country went through periods of
post-independence turmoil before managing to consolidate democracy.

The role of Timor's leaders in bringing lasting political stability to the
four-year-old nation is crucial, said Birkavs, adding hypothetically that
if he was one of Dili's leader, his "first concern would be to talk to
everyone and act immediately".

"But this dialogue must lead to action. Action and more action", stressed
the ex-Latvian leader.

Bircavs recalled a conversation he recently had with Timor's minister of
state and public administration, Ana Pessoa, who argued that work is more
important that words.

"I told Ana Pessoa that work is much more important than words. But words
give hope and encourage people".

Birkavs was speaking at a meeting of Timorese government ministers, MPs,
political and church leaders and heads of the army and police forces
organized by President Xanana Gusmao and aimed to uncover the causes behind
Timor's recent crisis and those to blame for it.

A presidential communique said the conclusions of the meeting would be made
public at a future date.


The Club of Madrid is an independent organization comprising nearly 70
former heads of government and state whose aim is to contribute to
strengthening democracy worldwide.

Timor-Leste is in the List of "Flawed Democracy"

23/11: Malaysia 81 on list of flawed democracies
Category: General Posted by: Raja Petra
Jacqueline Ann Surin
The Sun

Malaysia is a "flawed democracy" and falls nearly at the bottom of the list, below Mongolia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Indonesia, Timor Leste and Palestine in a new Democracy Index developed by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The index, which is available in The Economist's annual publication The World in 2007, grades 167 countries out of 192 independent states according to their degree of democracy.

The index looks at 60 indicators across the five categories of electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, the functioning of government, political participation, and political culture.

Countries are spread across four regime types Ð full democracies (28 countries), flawed democracies (54), hybrid regimes (30) and authoritarian regimes (55).

"Sweden leads the pack with a near-perfect score followed closely by Iceland and the Netherlands.

"By contrast, the United States (ranked 17th), Britain (23rd) and France (24th) are near the bottom of the full democracy category," a press statement from The Economist said.

South Africa leads the "flawed democracy" category at 29th position, followed by South Korea at 31, Taiwan 32, India 35, Mongolia 56, Sri Lanka 57, the Philippines 63, Indonesia 65, Timor Leste 65, Bangladesh 75, Hongkong 78 and Palestine 79.

Malaysia ranks 81, sharing the spot with Bolivia at the bottom of the category.

The statement said "flawed democracies" were concentrated in Latin America and eastern Europe.

"Many of these countries remain fragile democracies. Levels of political participation are generally very low and democratic cultures are weak," it said.

Malaysia, however, remains ahead of Singapore (84), Thailand (90) and Cambodia (105) which fall under the "hybrid regimes" category, of which Iraq (112) anchors.

Pakistan (113) tops the list of "authoritarian regimes" while North Korea ranks last. In between are China (138), Vietnam (145), Laos (155) and Myanmar (163).

The Economist said more than half of the world's population lived in a democracy of some sort, although only 13% reside in full democracies.

"Despite the advances in democracy in recent decades, almost 40% of the world's population still live under authoritarian rule," it said.

It added that after decades of progress, the most recent global trends in democratisation have been negative, signalling a pause in the spread of democracy.
